While convalescing in Holland, Adams learns the British surrendered to Washington at Yorktown. Returning to France to secure commerce with other nations, Adams sends for Abigail, and the two reunite in his opulent mansion in Paris.
But a missive from America sends Adams to London as the nation's first Ambassador to Britain. There, he has a memorable meeting with King George III, in which the King recognises the friendship of the United States as an independent nation.
Adams returns to Boston with Abigail to receive a hero's welcome. But family matters - including his son Charles' debauched behavior at Harvard - must be put on hold as the first US president and vice-president are elected.
