Escaping the mob Jo and Bill obtain triffid guns from the farm and have dinner in a show flat, planning to leave for the country next day. After seeing people's spokesman Jack Coker unsuccessfully try and rally the Army to help the blind, they join a group of organized survivors about to leave London next day. However Bill wakes in the night to find that he has been tied up.
Bill is captured by Coker and separated from Jo as both are forced to act as guides for groups of blind people. Bill is hand-cuffed to his charges on foraging raids but uses the opportunity to release himself when attacked by another group of scavengers. Nonetheless he agrees to stay with his group but, following illness which sweeps through the house and the triffids, attracted by noise, getting closer, he finds himself alone again and goes in search of Jo.
