Muv and Farve move to a small house in Scotland because they can no longer afford to keep up the country houses they inherited from their parents in England. Nancy visits her parents and is glued to the radio, hearing news of the war. Germany is invading Poland. Nancy and her parents know that Britain must now declare war on Germany, as they are Poland’s ally. Nancy has been working on a new novel, Pigeon Pie, about Britain going to war to fight fascism. Now, reality is playing out just as she’s been predicting in her book.
Farve stops supporting the Nazi Party, while Muv still doesn’t believe that anything bad will happen to Britain because Hitler appreciates British culture. Muv tries to call Unity in Germany but can’t reach her. Muv declares that Britain mustn’t win the war against Germany because the world will turn against Diana and Unity. Increasingly fed up with her family’s treachery and ignorance, Nancy calls Winston Churchill.
Listening to the news, Diana has no doubts that Germany will win the war. In the meantime, she and Mosley need to stay quiet while accomplishing the goals of their radio station business.
