Jack has been in London for three years with Imogen, but, despite still having feelings for him, she leaves to avoid scandal as her aunt is a standing Labour member for Gallowshield. The Tyneside hunger marchers arrive in town as Jack, tipped off that there is North Sea oil, buys cheap land to sell to the interested company. At a toga party given by Mrs Laurence for the hunger marchers, Jack encounters Jessie, still married to Ashton and with three children, but seeing upper-class socialist Robin Cunningham. She opposes his land deal but Jack buys her silence by threatening to tell Ashton about Robin. Sarah visits, pleased to be part of the deal.
