Meanwhile, Back at the Front
- Karen arrives at the war front, where she and Bror discuss their struggling marriage.
- They clearly care for each other deeply, but he's staying at the front, and she'll go home again...alone.
- Back on the farm, Karen collapses and becomes very ill. Farah tends to her.
- When Karen visits a doctor in town, she discovers that she has contracted (gulp) syphilis.
- Bror and his philandering is to blame. Because Bror is a weasel.
- Karen has to return to Denmark for treatment immediately.
- She meets Denys at the club, and they have a brief chat.
- Karen doesn't tell him about the syphilis.
- Bror arrives home to take care of the farm in her absence.
