The platoon participate in a training exercise in which their goal is to detonate a bomb inside a mill occupied by the Eastgate Platoon. Jones wants to dress up as a tree and creep up to the front door too slowly for them to notice; Fraser acquires an ancient diving suit and plants to infiltrate by water. Meanwhile, the Eastgate Platoon has recruited the Verger as their spy.

Pike is caught in barbed wire in the middle of a mine field on the beach. The army engineers are slow to arrive so the platoon takes action to save him.
