Bomb Girls
It’s 1942 and America has finally entered the war – but even so, the Axis Powers are still winning every major battle. Canada is beginning to deeply feel the price of combat, complete with casualty lists, rationing, hidden foes, unholy alliances, and the ever-present danger of explosives. Yet at the same time, the women and men of Victory Munitions find ways to flourish under adversity, to defiantly live in joy, to forge unexpected bonds of friendship and love. In embracing risk, they find unexpected rewards and adventure. While they always know who they are fighting... they're constantly surprised to find who's standing by their side.
With the war intensifying overseas, Gladys is inspired to organize a fundraiser for Canadian POWs, which her parents commandeer for their own means.
A surprise visit from a soldier makes Valentine’s Day special for Gladys. At the same time, Marco and Bob exchange words over Lorna, while Kate relies on her gift of gab when dealing with her dad.
Gladys travels with Marco and his mother to an internment camp in hopes of aiding Marco's detained father, while Lorna focuses her energy on impressing the girls at the factory. Elsewhere, Betty and Kate attend services at Leon's church; and Vera discovers the perks of being helpful to soldiers.
When a group of Maritimers arrive at the plant, one of the girls, Reggie, immediately draws Betty's suspicions and ire. Meanwhile, Lorna's hot-blooded son Gene convinces Gladys to join him on an adventure that leads where neither expected.
