Todd catches Verity kissing Dafydd and throws him out. Soon after the young man falls ill with the smallpox. A few villagers volunteer for vaccination but many feel they are safe and refuse. With food stocks running low Megan and Emlyn grow closer when they pick up supplies from outside, and Kamini enlists the help of local farmer Ceri. Dafydd's wife Mary brings her baby, also infected, to Prem but the child dies, reminding Kamini of the loss of her own daughter. After Pushpa expresses confidence in him, Prem manages to get all of Trefelin inoculated except the Todds, and the vicar turns him away from the house even though Verity is also ill.
