For Ep. 103 we review "Band of Brothers." "The Breaking Point." Easy holds the line near Foy, Belgium, losing numerous soldiers. Winters and the men worry about the company's new commander, first lieutenant Norman Dike, who is frequently absent without explanation. First sergeant Carwood Lipton attempts to keep Easy's morale up. Lieutenant Lynn "Buck" Compton watches in horror as Joe Toye and William Guarnere lose their legs to shelling, and he too is pulled from the line. During the assault on Foy, Dike fails to lead Easy and Winters orders Spiers to relieve him. Victorious, Easy takes shelter in a church where Lipton is told he has been given a field commission as a second lieutenant and Spiers is officially assigned command of Easy.
