- As Nikolai Rostov and Andrei prepare for battle, a determined Prince Vassily Kuragin tries to forge a bond between Andrei's sister, Princess Marya, and his son, Anatole, while Pierre finds his new married life difficult.
- Pierre marries Helene but soon realizes that she is an unloving and mercenary wife, cuckolding him with Dolokhov, whom he challenges to a duel. The scheming Vassily also engineers a union between his son Anatole and Andrei's unworldly sister Marya. The Russian army holds off the French for a while with Nikolai being able to return to his family but another encounter leaves Andrei badly wounded. He is able to get home in time to see Lise give birth to their child but it is not a happy event.—don @ minifie-1
- Although reported probably mortally wounded, Andrei Bolkonsky returns home in time for his son's birth, but it kills his beloved wife. Good boy Pierre Bezukhov gets to wed Helene Kuragina, but finds her a manipulative, strong-headed bed partner, who sends him off to his estates and seems the ultimate proof of her own warning against his self-invited womanizing party mate Dolokhov. Broke schemer Vassily Denisov's son Anatole charms prospective fat dowry-bride Marya Bolkonskaya, but she decides against a union seeing him already wooing French companion Bourienne. Discarding sage general Mikhail Kutuzov's advice to disengage, Tsar Alexander engages in another battle against Naopoleon, which proves an even bloodier defeat.—KGF Vissers
