The following is a brief, official synopsis. For a detailed account of the episode, click here.
In episode two of Foyle's War: The White Feather, Detective Sergeant Paul Milner is adjusting to life as Foyle's assistant after losing his leg at Trondheim. He is drawn to the oration of the charismatic Guy Spencer (Charles Dance), a prominent member of the pro-Hitler organisation, The Friday Club.
Detective Chief Superintendent Foyle is asked by Chief Superintendent Hugh Reid (Michael Simkin) to interview Edith Johnstone (Lisa Ellis), a girl accused of sabotage near a military camp. It's a hangable offence but Edith seems defiant. She boldly tells Foyle she will have the last laugh, crudely raising one hand in a faint echo of a fascist salute.
The investigation leads to The White Feather Hotel, where Edith was a chambermaid, and to her sweetheart David Lane (Ed Waters) and his father Ian (Ian Hogg), both local fishermen.
A talk at the hotel with Guy Spencer as guest speaker comes to an abrupt end when Margaret Ellis is shot in the darkness of a power cut. Was the killer aiming for Spencer? Is David Lane seeking revenge for the 'brainwashing' of Edith, or is someone looking for retribution for Isaac Wolf?
As Foyle and Milner unravel the interwoven evils of the The Friday Club, Milner is forced to confront his own attitude and his allegiance to Foyle. The climax brings a tragedy of its own, with the events of Dunkirk and the bravery of those who go to rescue the stranded soldiers.
