Outline

Rex goes into hiding, unaware that Stuckler will order reprisals if he is not recaptured. Emily and Luc declare their feelings for each other whilst Virginia, trailed by a suspicious Lewis, visits ex-husband Philippe, though she fails to get him on side. Faith, her conscience pricked by Gordon, colludes with Max, a Free French colonel seconded to the War Office, to postpone the uprising until military back-up can be brought in from North Africa. However the message to abort is too late in arriving and the revolt begins.
