One day a year in the town of Jiegou in China, the harbour prepares for a short but very profitable campaign - the harvesting of a tidal wave of jellyfish - a delicacy in China. For the fishermen, the long wait is worth it - the money made from the catch accounts for about a third of their yearly income.

Nunavut, in the Canadian Far North, is home to many treasures: gold, iron, diamond and uranium. As logistics and transport become easier, the attraction for industrial and mining corporations to prospect and exploit becomes stronger. A new El Dorado is emerging in the small towns in the area, pushing up the cost of living, often at the expense of the local Inuit community.

The US aims for the heart of Japan's inner defence ring - starting with Saipan in the Marianas. Saipan is the largest and most distant island invaded by the Americans so far - an unprecedented logistical challenge. Japan employs more ingenious defensive tactics and sends their navy into the fray with the Battle of the Philippine Sea. Americans prevail in Saipan, but not without spending more time and blood than expected - and overcoming a Marine vs Army rivalry that threatens to divide the fighting force. America is developing the B-29 bomber and hope the Marianas can become a forward airbase, but the B-29 is beset with problems and may not be ready in time.

America decides to drive up a Central Pacific toward Japan with island-by-island amphibious assaults. The first is in the Gilbert Islands - the invasion of Tarawa. Amid their own mistakes and an enemy stronger than expected, it is a far deadlier battle than America anticipated. From this confrontation, both sides learn lessons and alter their strategies, equipment, and tactics. America invents new machinery and weapons; Japan develops stronger defenses and begins to prepare their inner defensive ring and the home islands. This episode also describes the action in the Marshall Islands and the Southwest Pacific - Rabaul, Truk, and New Guinea.
