Korinna doesn’t want to go to school, but her mother insists. As Korinna and Rita walk to school with Rita, Rita tells her that the Fuhrer will be visiting their city and that their jungmädel will be part of the celebratory parade. Korinna is surprised and excited. At school, she wonders what Sophie and Rachel are doing. She has trouble concentrating. Eva notices that she looks pale and tired. Eva and Rita ask whether the mice in the wall are still bothering Korinna; she’s evasive and flustered. Claiming that she’s still sick from her (fabricated) illness the day before, she skips the jungmädel meeting and goes straight home.
At home, Korinna’s mother is repairing one of Korinna’s old dresses for Rachel. Korinna is angry, not wanting Rachel to wear her old clothes. Frau Rehme throws the dress to Korinna and leaves the room. Korinna looks for her kitten but can’t find her. She pulls aside the wardrobe and sees that Rachel is playing with the kitten. Furious, Korinna pulls the kitten from Rachel’s arms. Rachel’s forearms are scratched as the kitten is pulled from her, and she starts to cry. Sophie snaps at Korinna to take her kitten and leave them.
