Episode Summary
EDIT
Meanwhile, Edith and the servant girls have to explain to the Lieutenant why his little tank has crashed into the public toilet, and ends up getting Grubers compassion. And the two British airmen have decided its probably better to surrender to the Jerries than to stay at Rens caf.
Back at the caf, Ren has a difficult time telling Edith that he will marry Denise, since Monsieur Alphonse has asked for Ediths hand, and Yvette has it in her heart to tell Edith that Ren will marry her instead.moreless

ALLUSIONS (1)
ADD ALLUSIONS-
Carstairs: It's like the Marie Celeste here. Fairfax: I didn't know you had a classic education. Carstairs: I saw the film. The Marie Celeste was the famous ship found abandoned by its crew in 1872. Carstairs probably refers to the 1935 film "The Mystery of the Marie Celeste" starring Bela Lugosi.
