'World on Fire' Season 2 Remembers Coming Home Is As Hard As Going To War
In the season finale of World on Fire Season 2, Lois and Harry come home, Sir James’s romance with Robina ends, Lois embraces motherhood and work, and Kasia is called to duty in Poland. Others begin difficult and dangerous journeys to find freedom and continue the fight.
Kasia: You should come with me, Robina. We need tough women.
But first, Harry Chase is in trouble again. He’s been ordered by Captain Briggs to return to England on a ship full of wounded soldiers for a month’s recuperation. If he refuses, the options are bleak. He’s not performing well, and there’s gossip about his behavior, particularly his treatment of prisoners. His men have lost confidence in him, and with his family history of suicide, Harry is considered unstable. His options are to return home or submit to a psychiatric examination, which will be followed by an honorable discharge and the end of his service. Harry is outraged but agrees to return home as the lesser of several evils.
