- The peace means that the Air Force cancels almost all operations. Gösta is idle and worried. Lilian has moved into her large apartment alone. At Boda, Erik Nilsson is pressured by villagers to sell his majority shares in the great rapids.
- The peace did not yet mean a new era, and for most people life went on in the same rut. However, the Air Force almost immediately suspended all their operations, as all military fuel was released for civilian traffic. This means that Gösta and the other airmen are mostly idle. Gösta still doesn't speak to Lilian, even though they live in the same town. She has bought a piano and has moved into her beautiful apartment. Outwardly, Lilian keeps up a straight line, and she claims to Anna Söderberg, that she and Gösta still live with each other. At Boda farm, the Nilsson family is subjected to an increasing pressure from the villagers, who want to sell their shares in the rapids, but this is prevented by Egon, which is the sole owner of a majority. He remembers well the progress of the forest companies at the turn of the century. His father was then the only one in the village who did not sell his forest to the forestry companies. Egon and the farm of the Nilssons' are then subjected to an outright boycott, which is furtively run by Orvar. Britta soon finds out, but she herself is being torn between different loyalties. If the power plant is not built by the hydro power company, she will hardly survive either with her love or with her boarding house. With Gösta's help, Colonel Söderberg travels down to Skåne where ships with victims from German concentration camps arrive. On a boat there are some surviving children and the colonel desperately tries to buy a child for his wife Anna Söderberg. A non-commissioned officer on the boat understands why and gives him a two-year-old, who is supposed to be Anna's sister's son, Erich Schumacher, from Meissen in Germany. Lilian's aunt, Agnes, the matriarch of the Melin family, suddenly suffers a brain haemorrhage and is in a coma. Only eventually is Lilian informed by a telegram, which is delivered to Gösta's apartment. He gratefully receives the telegram, and it becomes his excuse to seek out Lilian. They reconcile and he moves in with her.
