Virgilia tricks Orry into attending one of her blatant abolitionist meetings with the family, where she attracts Congressman Sam Greene's romantic attentions.

During the Mains' summer visit at the Hazard estate, Charles befriends fellow future cadet Billy, who is seduced by Ashton. George and Orry plan a joint-venture - a slave-free cotton mill in South Carolina, despite the political animosity.
