The women of the Blue Shift begin to realize that enemies don't just limit their efforts to the battlefield. Gladys grows suspicious when a young woman asks her detailed questions about factory operations. She takes her concerns to Clifford Parry, the new head of security at Victory Munitions.

A visiting reporter highlights the disparity between women's and men's salaries at Victory Munitions, leaving Lorna with a tough decision to make. Gladys learns more about the shadow world of intelligence from Clifford, who also surprises her with facts she didn't know about her father.

After trying a new class, Lorna finds herself smitten by dancing-and possibly by her dance teacher, too. Clifford encourages Gladys to keep tabs on her friends, but Vera misconstrues Gladys's newfound interest in Marco as something else. He, meanwhile, continues to question his true allegiances and to keep company with the wrong sort of people.
