Several French workers are returned from Germany to support the wine harvest. When Inès suggests that she and Michel might have more time together with the workers’ arrival, Michel becomes harsh and defensive. They argue, and Michel leaves. Inès decides to go spend the night with Edith. On her way out, she meets Céline and informs her that she’ll be away for the night.

In Reims, Inès goes into the brasserie owned by Edith and her husband, Edouard, and is surprised to find it filled with German officers. Inès is immediately suspicious of Edith, but Edith explains that she is helping the resistance movement by eavesdropping on the Germans’ plans.

Céline becomes increasingly frustrated with her limitations in Mason Chauveau, as she is kept mostly inside due to her Jewish heritage. She learns that her family has also been forced to register as Jews. She goes into the wine cellars for solitude and encounters Captain Richter. He interrogates her and threatens to reveal her heritage, suggesting his friendship would be useful to her.

Theo and Michel return from harvesting, encouraged by the change in fortune, and then Inès returns from Edith’s.
