A Place to Call Home

Returning to Sydney after twenty years in Europe, nurse Sarah Adams becomes entangled in the lives of wealthy Australian pastoralist family, the Blighs.

Anna is thrown from her horse. Whilst Anna is okay, the horse is not - and Sarah is forced to put the stallion down.

Sarah arrives at her first day on the job only to face questions from Dr. Jack Duncan about her real name. Deeply offended by the invasion of her privacy, Sarah resolves to leave Inverness.

Jack and Sarah discover that Bill Gregory, a former army mate of Jack's, has hanged himself in his kitchen.

The holiest day in the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur, is fast approaching. It's a time for Sarah to reflect on her conduct - to repent her own failings and forgive others for theirs.

Anna and Gino's romance grows deeper at the same time as James and Olivia's marriage reaches a breaking point. Sarah lands herself in the middle of a dangerous domestic dispute involving one of her patients.

After learning that her mother is dying, Sarah hastens to Sydney to be at her bedside. George and Anna also head to the city to visit his sister, Carolyn, from whom Anna secretly wants help obtaining birth control. Back at Ash Park, Mrs. Bligh takes James and Olivia into her confidence.

Sarah and George begin a secret affair and start meeting at the cottage for their romantic trysts. Anna attempts to subtly push her father towards Sarah, hoping that if she can get them together then he will be more open to learning about her relationship with Gino, but she is frustrated by the arrival of her aunt Regina.

On the eve of Remembrance Day, George is asked to host a Japanese trade delegation. Knowing how the community will feel, George asks Jack to come to the reception in the hope that the approval of a former Japanese POW might help deal with any ill-feeling, but Elizabeth is concerned about Jack's ability to handle the situation.

Mrs. Bligh returns home to Ash Park, but not everyone is happy about it. Olivia pleads with James for a change of scenery, Regina connives to extend her visit, and George receives an ultimatum. Meanwhile, Anna faces a life-altering decision.

George is delighted when Sarah agrees to marry him, but when Elizabeth discovers her threat to disinherit George has backfired, she resolves to take a different approach. Meanwhile, Anna encounters complications with her pregnancy.

James sees a psychiatrist who agrees to treat his sexuality, but James and Olivia's hopes of a brighter future are challenged when George arrives and confronts his son. Anna is relieved when Gino believes that she miscarried and they decide to tell their families of their intention to marry. Elizabeth's spirits are buoyed by Regina's seizure of Sarah's job application records.
