Synopsis
The recession is having a devastating impact on the cotton industry across the UK and Quarry Bank Mill is no exception. Many mill owners are cutting wages by as much as 25% and William Greg is forced to do the same but there is disquiet and resistance among the workers. Daniel argues that the only option is to withdraw their labour but most workers, including Esther, believe a three quarter wage is better than nothing. Preparing for the worst, William mobilises troops in the area and appoints John Howlett to lead a new band of special constables. Esther's views on strike action change when the consequences of the wage cuts put her son Billy's life in danger and she joins Daniel at the forefront of the protest. Daniel is determined to bring Quarry Bank Mill to a standstill and, when tensions escalate, William arms his special constables with clubs and sticks. As Hannah Greg's health declines, she receives a parcel from the Gregs' plantation in Dominica and is horrified by its contents. Meanwhile Lucy flirts with James Windell and asks him for maths lessons.
