Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Daisy (Jacqueline Tong has finally said "yes" to Edward (Christopher Beeney), and they intend to tie the matrimonial knot when he comes home on his next leave. Meanwhile, Georgina (Lesley-Anne Down) does her bit for the war effort by training as a volunteer nurse, and kitchen slavey Ruby (Jenny Tomasin) goes to work at a munitions plant, thereby causing no little discomfort for her longtime tormenter Mrs. Bridges. With virtually all the Eaton Place women active on the home front, James' frustration over his temporary banishment from the trenches is intensified. Written by Alfred Shaughnessy, "Women Shall Not Weep" premiered in England on October 5, 1974; the episode was first telecast in America on January 25, 1976.
