The Changing of the Guard

With the Lend-Lease Act about to be passed, Roosevelt asks Henry to lead an informal escort of 70 merchant ships delivering much needed supplies to England. They're banking on the fact that the German U-Boats won't fire on neutral U.S. warships. After the mission, Roosevelt promises Henry command of a battleship. First, however, he must go to Moscow where he is reunited with Pamela. Rhoda goes on a week's holiday with Palmer. When the Henrys are invited to the White House for dinner, Byron asks the President for help in resolving Aaron Jastrow's passport difficulties. He also goes to Pearl Harbor where he's reunited with Warren and Madeline. Roosevelt and Churchill meet at Placentia Bay in Newfoundland. The Germans attack Russia and send them reeling as they push them further east.
