It cant be done.
Not while there isinjusticein the world (says Ross, nobly).
Ned Despard is dead.
Lets just get through that right now.
Rosss testimony is very inspiring until he goes too far and accuses the court of inventing crimes.
Ross, what did we tell you about ending your speeches one sentence earlier?
Dwight thinks Ned has permanent brain damage due to a number of head injuries (seems plausible).
This doesnt sway the bribed jury.
Anyway, Nelson was a very good get, but Ned Despard is condemned to death all the same.
Good job making me finally care about Ned right before his execution, show.
Ross is crushed by Neds death.
Just very sincerely crushed.
Someone is stealing ore from the mine!
I know, you are saying is it definitely Tess and that man whos always stirring up trouble?
There is absolutely nothing surprising about whos stealing it!
Before Demelza knows for sure, though, she is on the case.
and I will sit there delighted.
Elsewhere, everyone hates George now because of his speech defending slavery.
His marriage to Cecily is moving forward, despite Cecily trying to stop it.
Geoffrey Charles and Cecily pull a one-two punch to save the day, though.
He stalks out because old wounds, etc.
Cecily is locked in her room like its a Gothic novel.
But we end with Ross, sadly trodding back to Demelza across the windswept cliffs of Cornwall.
They sit down, and she asks him if he cried when Ned died.
He asks what good it would have done.
Thats not how sadness works, Ross.
He gets whapped on the head and tossed down a hole.
Nothings ever easy for Ross Poldark.
It seems like no, and I am concerned.
Will Demelza bring backup when she inevitably confronts the ore thieves?
What if for the final two episodes, Ross is just stuck in this hole?
While things happen in Truro, every now and then someone will say has anyone seen Ross?
And then the series will end.
