Marilyn #27 August 1960

In "null," Jan fakes illness to avoid her persistent boss, who won’t take no for an answer. Clive steps in, offering to take her to the dance—not just as a favor, but as a quiet act of solidarity.

In "One Alone," Flora and her mother survive a sudden fire that leaves the house in ruins, the snow outside extinguishing the flames just in time. Days later, Stirling visits Flora’s mother and learns the truth about the fire—Janet had set it on purpose—leading to a quiet, heartfelt moment between Stirling and Flora as he confesses his love and asks her to marry him.

In "null," Jo finds herself caught between duty and desire when Ty suggests she sell herself to Sheila's father, a man deeply invested in racing pigeons. Though she gains favor with the old man, her efforts fall flat when Sheila coldly rejects her for prioritizing the father over their bond.

In a quiet moment of reflection, Janice finds herself drawn back to Clem after a period of change and distance, only to be stunned when he appears in person—offering more than just a report on her training course. Their reunion unfolds with unexpected warmth, as old feelings surface and a long-held affection comes to light.
