Karen marvels at her Sherman tank ride during Plélo's liberation celebration, amazed at the providence that brought them to deliver her father's war documents during the commemorative events. After emotional goodbyes, they drive through countryside towns also celebrating their liberations, with American flags displayed everywhere amid increasing traffic congestion. Following their Channel crossing, they visit friends Chris and Helen who provide rest while listening to their extraordinary experiences, before returning home to process their remarkable journey.
