Denise waits to hear from Frank. The Moran household is erupting into warfare. Trevor makes a potentially deadly mistake at work. Roxy holds a garage sale to raise money. Claudia Joy has difficulty reaching Michael on the phone in Brussels.

Michael has good news. Joan has an opportunity. Frank heads home, and Denise waits to see if she is still welcome. Jeremy makes a new friend. Roland receives an offer of a new job.

Pamela gets tired of being contradicted. Roxy re-launches the Hump Bar. Joan changes her mind about Sarah Elizabeth being christened. Frank and Denise go to a mediator. There is a reconciliation amongst friends.

Sarah Elizabeth has her christening. Chase takes Katie to ballet while Pamela takes Lucas to football. Lucky makes it to the base and LeBlanc is assigned to take him to the pound. Frank and Denise come to an understanding.

The Holden household prepare for their guest. Denise shares her news. Lucky has some problems settling into his new home. Frank and Denise start work on moving forward. Pamela learns about being a coach. Joan is given a challenge.

Trevor is dead-eager to fully rehabilitate himself after the arms incident during the prestigious, Pentagon-watched war games. He may however be the meat in the sandwich while both commanders play dirty. General Holden however blames and dismisses only colonel Connors. His wife spearheads a campaign to get funding for Haneen's further physiotherapy after repatriation. Pamela helps a timid, financially stretched base wife set up a home business, even hosts her first sales party, which proves somewhat embarrassing.

Trevor and Roxy first worry about Finn's apparent study problems, but it turns out he's actually high-gifted, so they must finance a private school, a tall order even if Trevor passes the sergeant exam. Frank and Denise are fully reconciled and cohabitate again. General Holden must receive an important general without his wife, who accompanies Haneen back to Iraq, but Emmalin steps in as hostess.

Lucky buries things, including Pamela's wallet which contains the pass without which no base facility is accessible. General Holden delights Frank with a promotion to lieutenant colonel and the ladies with a base staff post, meaning no more regular deployment. Yet Claudia-Joy's one-sided celebratory dinner initiative causes tensions. While looking for live bar entertainment, Roxy takes under her wing one-hit singer Stella Raye, who is looking for the son, now soldier, whom she gave up for adoption.

Trevor has finally been promoted to sergeant. He helps the very screw up who disturbs his party, private Day, into therapy and is asked to consider becoming an army recruiter. South Carolina senator Clayton Calhoun's merry widow Jean, expected to open a troops help center dedicated to his memory on the base, proves quite a handful for general Holden and his welcoming committee, and a carpe diem teacher flirting with the men. Finn is a good candidate for the prestigious school Fordham Academy, but they also screen the parents, so Roxy is a nervous wreck at the ...

Jeremy's Iraq unit mate PFC Scrounger Smith, who always got things fixed, is badly wounded and repatriated. Finn has a ball at his new school and with his new, enormously rich buddy Byron Dunwood. That renders TJ violently jealous, but Trevor compensates with quality father-son time, fishing at his 'secret spot'. Claudia Joy recovers well from her car accident, but is diagnosed with serious diabetes.

Trevor has a difficult start as Army recruiter under demanding staff sergeant Brandon Cappi, but perseveres. A potential recruit whom he can interest in a double date dinner, stressing full medical insurance, is scared off when Roxy tells his fiancée about the risks. Chase's long, unexplained absence makes the Moran family paranoid, fearing fatal news. Finally home, Frank is delighted to hear Denise is back in the general's favor.

Jeremy's patrol in Iraq loses his mate Rison to a sniper just after they traded places to accommodate Rison's ailment. Trevor finally wants the agreed baby with Roxy, who can't help doubting if he'll still treat her boys equally. Trevor runs a physical exercise class as a recruiting tool and comes up with a social advancement model-coup. Chase is released home after hospital treatment officially after a helicopter crash but Pamela comes to realize he must have been tortured. The general is getting really worried about Claudia Joy's denial but an accidental encounter ...

The cast plays "all-new characters" in a series of World War II era stories told in the present to Roxy and Pamela by two older army wives, Elsie and Virginia.

Jeremy returns home after the bombing in Iraq; Joan says an emotional goodbye to Roland and Sarah Elizabeth; Pamela and Chase struggle to get along after she catches him in a lie.

Jeremy is tormented at home by Iraqi front nightmares. His happiness over finding Lucky alive on the base is tainted by the news his canine savior was adopted by the Leblancs. Being denied a drink as 'under age' triggers a bar brawl. Trevor coaches prospective recruit Ricardo Martinez and, even harder, the wives who flippantly registered for a charity golf tournament, where Roxy's noise en clumsiness outwear captain Pamela's patience. Michael is left alone receiving 4 star general Ludwig, who praises his skills but announces Fort Marshall is on a shortlist of bases ...

The Hump Bar brawl leaves the establishment off limits for troops for about a year. Trevor fears the financial consequences mean a they should postpone a baby, ignoring Roxy just got pregnant, but is ecstatic when she tells. Michael Holden is sworn is as just-promoted major-general by general Ludwig, whose wife is none other then general Baker's obnoxious widow Lenore 'Lenny'. Pamela fails to understand that Chase needs to be loyal to his mates rather then stick to futile family activities, as if she had to raise the kids 'all alone'. Jeremy's depression reaches a ...
