Kitty (Amy Beth Hayes) is taken to the hospital after her attack and she asks for Frank (Samuel West) well won't Frank be in for it when she finds out he got those men drunk and at Victor's (Trystane Gravelle) club too. She has bruises and cuts to her face which the doctor says will heal and they haven't given her a mirror to look at. Kitty storms off to get those men to pay but Frank stops her, for now, probably hoping she changes her mind and doesn't go through with it, thus saving himself. She talks to police Inspector Johnson (Simon Chandler) telling him what happened and giving them descriptions of Charlie and Silas. Frank takes her hand to console her but lets go when she mentions she was attacked by military men who hang around outside the store selling cigarettes, then lets go of her hand. She hates to think what would've happened if Harry (Jeremy Piven) hadn't come along.
The police say witnesses saw some drunken men by Victor's club and pay him a visit, but he says he does things by the book and wouldn't serve drinks before 6pm. Of course Elsa (Naomi Ryan) finally tells him that Frank was here with those men and got them drinks. Neglecting to mention she served him and got paid for her troubles. Perkuss (Rocky Marshall) feigns meeting Victor for the first time now. He later threatens Victor when he tells him he's doing things by the book now and he won't be paying him anymore "blood money." Since he's had enough of it by now. Purkiss is adamant it's not over until he finishes it. Appropriate name, Purkiss, he's getting the 'perks' from his job! ha.
Agnes (Aisling Loftus) still worries about Henri (Gregory Fitoussi) and he still hasn't come home. Henri stands at the bridge and wants to end it all, but manages to find Harry and talk witt him. He fells guilty and responsible for his men dying and how he couldn't even get them water, but also that he survived, only eight of them survived, so he's suffering from survivor's guilt too. Harry replies he should talk to Agnes about ii cos she's there for him and needs to know, but he can't cos he heard her talking to Miss Mardle (Amanda Abbington) about him and she's afraid of him. After what he did at the store window he's ashamed and doesn't know what he might do to her.
At the store they talk about the man who took hold of Doris's (Lauren Crace) hand and how they need security men to mingle with the crowds and look out for anything suspicious. With the shop girls going a bit over the top when talking about Kitty's attack and how all the servicemen are not right in their heads, in front of Agnes. Grove (Tom Goodman-Hill) doesn't know about the incident with Doris and later Doris storms in demanding Miss Mardle should keep out of her marriage. Miss Mardle mentions the business about the man with Doris to grove and he says it was a misunderstanding. He mistook her for someone else! Of course that's not right at all, is Doris really having an affair, or is it just some acquaintance or family member, but then she wouldn't have been so vocal over telling Miss Mardle to keep out of her marriage if it wasn't something more secretive.
Grove and Crabb (Ron Cook) bet on the men being rumbled as security before the afternoon and Crabb wins the bet since the men act suspiciously, first with Crabb's wife, Mildred, as she tries on hats and then when he watches one of the customers in the fashion department where Connie (Sacha Parkinson) calls him out on being a pervert. Well she could've been more discreet about it, though that's not a strong point of hers. Crabb suggests maybe they should women instead and the loading bay women would be strong enough to handle unruly customers and will take it up with.
Harry thanks Nancy (Kelly Adams) for helping out with Kitty when tells him she nursed during the war. He's enamoured with her and they go for dinner of mutton stew. The next day Harry makes a pass at her when they discuss architects and she says he shouldn't settle for the first woman who comes along. He thinks she's brave and courageous and all the things that Rose was (my thoughts, as he didn't actually compare her to Rose.)
Violette (Hannah Tointon) turns up at the club and dances with Victor and then they kiss passionately, after Victor first rejects her advances, like not kissing her when she closes her eyes and he tells her he could kiss her. George (Calum Callaghan) catches them together. As does Gordon (Greg Austin) later on when he asks Miss Calthorpe (Amy Morgan) out for dinner. She doesn't want to join them but he sees her with Victor, as well as Miss Calthorpe saying she didn't know his sister would be here. Loxley (Aidan McArdle) turns down Serge's (Leon Ockenden) aerodrome and plane project telling him he was just using him to make Harry bid higher for the plot, well, Serge finally works it out. He comes home drunk with Rosalie (Kara Tointon) waiting up for him and wants nothing to do with her.
Lois (Kika Markham) asks how long the Princess's (Zoe Wanamaker) flat will take to be completed and she doesn't know how long builders take, Lois also adding that Harry continues to pay her hotel bill. Though Lois hasn't done anything about that yet and why doesn't Harry know or done anything about it too, if it's coming out of his finances. The Princess finds out Serge's been gambling too and needs £80 but neither of them have it. She was going to ask him for money. He won't beg from his wife, but the Princess isn't above begging. Hinting at his troubles to Rosalie and how his pride won't let him get the money. Serge tears up his plans for his plane but the Princess stops him from doing so saying they have the blood of such and such a Count in them, yes but no money!
Agnes finds Henri in the park and he tells her what happened to him, he sees his men more clearly than he sees her and as if they were real but she won't give up on him. She tells Harry she's resigning cos she needs to get him better and be with him but they can't do that in London. Harry doesn't want her to leave, but she thanks him for everything he did for her, especially after she sold him those pair of gloves, back in Series 1. She worked up to this, but she says it was cos of him. Harry thinks of her as his daughter and will be losing his best friend. Agnes and Henri leave for his home, as he speaks of the house with the white shutters and endless desolate beaches. He wants to take her there and recognizes the sacrifice she will make for him by leaving. Which can't be said of Serge. As Rosalie pays his gambling debt and runs into Loxley telling her Serge should be ashamed of his wife paying off his debt, meaning he can't really love her. Knowing Serge's just a playboy. Rosalie adding only a loving wife would do so. And telling him to stay away from him and her family. Well that's one in the eye for Loxley when she made that loving wife remark, cos Lady Mae didn't want anything to do with him. Yeah, can just imagine her paying off his debt! Ha. On second thoughts, don't.
Frank and Victor come clean to the inspector about the two men, only after Victor tells Frank there's been talk of what happened and he's not sure if they are the same men. Kitty is angry at Frank for not being honest with her and he says he panicked, whilst also overhearing him say that he could go to prison for buying them the drinks, as well as Victor losing his club. The inspector doesn't know what he's going to do about them, but they have to find the men first. Which they do with Kitty's help who identifies them. Kitty wants to be alone.
Harry can deny his feelings no more and he races to Nancy to confess his attraction to her and how she turns down men making a pass at her and that's why she's alone. They kiss and well, that's Harry over Rose then, he didn't waste any time in doing that. Also it seems that Rose's studio was given to Serge after all for his study. Seems like everyone's getting in on the love business now! Ha. Except Kitty and with Violette it seems she's only lusting after Victor, as the first man who's come along and paid her any attention and also to defy Harry and act out. Well, so much for Nancy only being billed as being in three eps.
