*** This review may contain spoilers ***
September, 1915, This episode will have a lump in your throat throughout! Daisy finally marries Edward and the wedding is 'tinged' by the fact that Edward must leave for the front rightaway. It also doesn't help that nobody from the house (upstairs that is) can make the wedding - particularly Miss Georgina who has always had a special relationship with Daisy.
As Georgina sees some of her friends off to the front too at the railway station, she is moved by a train load of injured soldiers coming in. She helps hand out mugs of coffee with some kind words. The turning point is when she lights a cigarette for a dying man, and he dies before he finishes the smoke... It is then she decides like many to become a nurse, but her dreams of becoming a Florence Nightingale are shattered when she is given a ward of sick women.
Ruby takes everybody by surprise, as whilst all the rest of the staff at 165 are merely talking/thinking of leaving to do war-work, she's already found herself a job in a munitions factory earning three times as much money as Rose! Needless to say she leaves Eaton Place - certainly not the stupid girl everybody thinks!
