5. Loyalties

Bilinski is under investigation for possible complicity in people smuggling for the snakeheads in return for dubious favours received. Box is furious: he should have been going home to England, but he has to replace Bilinski in charge of 6 Platoon, itself festering with resentment.

6. Futures Finale

It's time to go home. There are debts to be paid, treasured possessions to be left behind, goodbyes to be said. And futures to think about. Can a Black man like Mayhoe get promotion in spite of racism in the British army? Will Box's wife let him re-enlist? What of Bilinski, demoted to store duty? Gilbey's retirement plans? For Pickering, there's a final surprise.
