The Huntress

Daniel finds Jordan in her darkroom. He says that Anneliese lied because she is ashamed, not because she is a real Nazi. While Daniel knows that college would be a great opportunity for Jordan, he says he built the family antiques business so she could inherit it. Feeling guilty, Jordan scolds herself and abandons her dream of becoming a photographer. She tells herself that she is lucky to belong to such a loving family. Moreover, she will drop the case against Anneliese and “start being grateful” (190) for what she has.

After breaking into Ian’s office, Nina tells him that Tony apologizes. She urges Ian to come to Boston with them to find the Huntress.

Steeped in air battle against the Germans, Nina is the only girl in her aviation unit who does not have a traumatic reaction to the bombing. The Germans call the Soviet female air bomber unit the “night witches”, a label the women love (215). To remain in the regiment, Nina and Yelena must keep their lesbian relationship a secret. Still, Nina says they cannot think of societal expectations in such a climate. Rather, they must live for the here and now.
