Kitty reports at the hospital. Her job as an auxiliary is mainly to clean and take patients' temperature. There she becomes friendly to two other auxiliaries, Harriet, who is older and lost her fiancée, and Lucy, who suffers the violence of her father. Kitty feels proud of her new job. At first, her father is disapproving, but when neighbours start dropping off to help him, especially Vera, the postman, he starts to do things for himself. In reality, there is nothing wrong with him. He broke his two legs in the accident ten years ago, but he can manage quite well. Another thing that makes him recover and leave his sticks is when Dominic Reilly comes to ask him advice as a former footballer. Dominic is playing in the team of his school and is a good player. Jimmy helps him, and the team eventually win the championship.
Thanks to the job, Kitty comes out of her shell. She starts going to the cinema with her colleagues, and one of the Sick Baby Attendants, Harry, asks her out and she accepts. They go to the cinema and when he escorts her to the station, he tries to have his way with her. Thankfully, Kitty bites him on the nose and she manages to escape. After that, Kitty tells the others who praise her for giving Harry a lesson. One of the nurses tell her that Harry is actually married, and Kitty is outraged.
Jessica, who needs to make a living and look after her daughter, finds an advertisement in a newspaper about a garage for rent, and she decides to go for it. The woman who lets it out, Rita, is surprised. The garage belongs to her husband who is fighting in the war. Jessica knows about mechanics and thinks he can earn money, but with the war there are very few people who own a car and men don't trust a woman to fix their vehicles. So she changes the purpose of the garage, and she starts selling and repairing bicycles, which is the preferred means of transport now.
Jack still remembers the night they spent together, but he doesn't want to feel attracted to the daughter of a man who he despised. He is not happy with her after she starts her business because he thinks that she is as despicable in her transactions as her father, but Jessica tells her that she pays a fair price for the bicycles. Jack also disapproves of Rita, who goes out with other men while her husband is in the front. Jack realises that Penny is his as he realises that she looks like her granddaughter Siobhan and the dates fit the time they were together. Yet, Jack keeps quiet. And then he and Jessica get together once again.
