When Isabelle spots Beck and Vianne together, it only makes matters worse. Isabelle already thinks that Vianne is too friendly with the enemy, and this sight confirms her worst suspicions. Isabelle refuses to submit to the Germans and continues to rebel. However, her encounter with the German soldier on the way to the train station finally forces her to accept that she is not entirely in control of her fate, and she is forced to turn back and live with Beck for the time being, whether she likes it or not. Again, Isabelle is perhaps lucky that she is a woman. If the German soldier had spotted a man doing something similar, his fate could have been much worse.
