Vianne wants her father to be proud of her, but she knows that she cannot be proud of herself if she tells him the truth. As such, she does the mature thing and decides not to say anything. Meanwhile, Julien talks about Isabelle's experiences and the horrors that she will likely witness as a result of her current position. Julien now identifies with his youngest daughter in a way he presumably wishes he did not. Despite everything, the war brings Julien, Isabelle, and Vianne closer together than ever before.
