Frankie goes into a Vietnamese village to treat locals. A boy beckons her to follow him and she finds a girl who needs her hand amputated. She helps the surgeon do the amputation and he gives her a special stone to remember him by.

Frankie is taken by helicopter to her station. She meets Ethel and Barb (her new roommates) who show her the ropes and give her some shorts and a t-shirt (much to her dismay). The medical team at Frankie’s station has a party to welcome her. During the party, there is an incoming rocket attack and Dr. Jamie Callahan protects/calms Frankie during the explosion.

Frankie’s family highly values military service. Her brother, Finley, ships out to Vietnam. Frankie wants to be a hero too, and signs on with the army as a nurse. The day she tells her family, they get notice that her brother has been killed in combat.
