|summary=This is a summer of running away. Davey runs away from home, beaten and drunk. He meets Priss, a sixteen year old, who is also running. Tom and Kate accept them both into a huge, mysterious house, a house that doesn't belong to any of them. Thirty years ago, Jack Laker bought the house to run away from his superstar lifestyle. Young girls, drugs, and touring had caused him to take an overdose. As his agent tries to convince him to tour with the new album he has written, Jack meets a young actress at the house party being thrown in his honour. The same party he is desperately trying to avoid.

|title=The Next Time You See Me
|summary=After the Great War Yves Harteloup was a disappointed young man when he returned to the resort where he had spent idyllic childhood summers. It wasn't long before he became infatuated by the beautiful Denise - mother of a young child, wife of an older man who was away on business and bored. In the heat of the summer the relationship is intoxicating and Denise falls passionately in love with Yves. When they return to Paris Denise envisages a little flat which they will furnish to their taste for afternoons of leisure and pleasure but the truth is that Yves must return to his mundane office job and try to make every franc stretch as far as it can. In the drab autumn of Paris Denise is driven mad with desire for Yves and their love disintegrates under the burden of misunderstanding.
