While in the opening with Toye, Guarnere takes a hit and he, too, loses a leg. Toye drags himself through the woods and is eventually pulled toward safety by Guarnere. After bombing ceases briefly, Lipton sprints out of his foxhole to rescue some men. Meanwhile, Toye gets nailed by fire and loses a leg. During the bombardments, Lipton recalls being a boy during Fourth of July celebrations.
Then, the Germans start bombing the American line. Lipton thinks the Germans are simply waiting for them to reoccupy the positions. There, Lipton sees enemy troops but no artillery. By the late afternoon, the Americans return to their foxholes overlooking Foy. Lipton discusses platoon leader Spiers, already a legend amongst the men for tales that may or may not be true. On the afternoon of January 3, Easy Company moves again toward Foy. Guarnere and the others warmly welcome Toye back to Easy. Meanwhile, Toye returns from the aid station with a slight arm injury, requesting to return to the line.

Then, Winters and Nixon update Sink on the latest in their pending battle in Foy. Nixon chooses to turn down the offer and instead tells Winters to send Peacock. The next morning, Nixon receives a letter from division informing him that he has been "plucked" to serve a thirty-day furlough in America to promote the war bond drive. He asks about Lipton's life previous to entering the service. Then, Dike finally returns to speak with Lipton about Hoobler's death. Lipton and others agree that Compton would have been the best soldier to replace Dike, at least before he began acting strangely in the wake of his injuries. That night, Nixon and Winters discuss Dike's problem, as well as the lack of candidates to replace him. Lipton reviews Dike's background and notes that he was "a bad leader because he made no decisions." Later, Lipton interrupts freezing soldiers as they criticize Dike and tells them to simply do their jobs. Lipton claims that people were always searching for Dike, a man felt by many as unfit to lead the company. Winters, too, wonders where Dike is and why he didn't deliver the report. Lipton reports to Nixon that the bullet cut a main artery in Hoobler's leg. Then, Hoobler accidentally shoots himself in the thigh and dies before he can be saved. Later, Compton asks Lipton for the whereabouts of Dike, who remains in command of Easy. Along the way, Hoobler downs a German officer on horseback and finally gets a Luger. First, however, Easy is to clear the woods around Foy. This episode begins on Januin the Adrennes Forest in Belgium as Easy Company is asked to yet again push the Germans through "the Bulge." Lipton states that he was excited to get out of a foxhole and move toward an assault on the town of Foy. Part seven in this ten-part miniseries based on the experiences of Easy Company, the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, United States Army 101st Airborne Division, during World War II, and featuring commentary from Easy Company veterans preceding each episode.
