Kiley gets an infection and Helen stays at his bedside all night,annoying Ronnie,who wanted her to go to London and fetch Patricia,who has rung home in some distress. Helen claims she cannot leave her patient and the major wakes to find her standing beside him. Ruby tries to slander Mac and is told off by Jack but Mac still feels guilty to be stepping in to a dead man's shoes despite his feelings for Sally. Hymie and Elmer take Peter out and get him drunk. On his return Vera is angry but her husband defends him,saying that he is now a man.
