Darnay is released from prison, thanks to Manette's influence.

On receipt of Gabelle's letter, Darnay returns to Paris during the Reign of Terror.

Carton reveals his true feelings to Lucie and Barsad makes an unwelcome reappearance.

Lucie appears to vouch for French émigré Charles Darnay, who is charged with high treason.

Darnay is acquitted and Stryver informs Carton of his intentions regarding Lucie.

In London, Manette suffers a relapse. Meanwhile, in Paris, the Bastille is stormed.

Lucie Manette travels to pre-revolutionary France to find her father who she assumed was dead.
