A Place To Call Home

Sarah recognises the youth's companion as the niece of a friend of hers and admonishes her behaviour. Sarah has a brush with Henry, who is now head of surgery at the hospital, when he misses the symptoms of a diabetic coma in a patient. Regina, three years into her incarceration in a psychiatric institution, claims to have had a breakthrough.

Sarah finds Leah and persuades her to return home to see her uncle, but this episode has reawakened her sense of her adopted religion, and she insists to George that their son is to be raised as a Jew. Douglas continues with strenuous work at the mission despite being told to rest by his doctor, and Jack learns that Frank has had similar or worse war experiences to his own.

To Sarah and the Blighs’ horror, Regina is released from the asylum. George ruffles feathers as he considers converting to Judaism, while Elizabeth finds it difficult to participate in Sarah’s Jewish traditions.

Sarah learns from Leah that Regina is back in Inverness and heads over to her farm with Roy Briggs's rifle. George also visits his wife, and she attempts to convince him that she is a reformed character, giving him a letter revealing events that his family has kept from him.

George takes Sarah and David with him to Canberra, despite the damage it could do to his political career by bringing his mistress and illegitimate son into the public eye. Elizabeth and Jack decide not to tell Douglas about his deteriorating condition over Henry’s objections.

Sarah panics when she thinks she sees a villain from her past in Canberra. Douglas finally knows the truth about his illness and asks Jack for help. Anna contacts Richard for advice about getting out of a publishing contract with Ed.

The Blighs contend with Douglas’s death and planning his funeral, but Elizabeth takes it especially hard and lashes out at the rest of the family. Regina urges George to examine their accounts, suspecting that Richard will attack him financially, but Sarah can’t bring herself to trust Regina.

Feeling distant from the rest of the family, George considers selling the farm. As Inverness prepares for the annual open day and fete in support of the hospital, Richard schemes new ways to bring down the Blighs.

After a long and difficult labor, Sarah gives birth, but the baby’s future remains uncertain. Carolyn tries to follow Sarah’s wishes and prevent Elizabeth from telling George the news.

Jack begins his political campaign running as an independent, while George comes clean to his constituents about Sarah and David. As Matthew grows closer to Olivia, Anna worries that she'll never find love again and turns to alcohol to dull her pain.

The Blighs worry about Jack after he goes missing following Richard's comments at the political debate. The police find a body in the river and assume the cause of death was suicide, until Henry performs an autopsy.

Richard is arrested for murder, and Jack tries to piece together what happened that night. Following their evening together, Anna considers a relationship with Henry, but Olivia angrily warns her off.
