I am so worried for our protagonists.
Theyre just smiling at each other so much.
Nothing good can come from smiling.
Demelza sings a nice song.
Towards the end of the episode, Rossbathesher.
What is this, season one?
Not to harp on a point, but all my red alerts are blaring for these two.
Surely by series end, Ross or Demelza or both will be run over by a rampaging ox.
The themes of this episode (aside from my suspicion) are terrible parties and madness.
Why is Caroline so bad at throwing parties!
What else is she doing with her time?
Hopefully commissioning fancy outfits for her dog, but we have thus far seen no evidence of that.
Said bad party comes about because the Despards have come to Truro and someone spits at Kitty.
Dwight almost duels him, but Caroline says instead she will hold a party to solve racism.
There is literally no rationale for this.
But it does get all the rich people of Truro in a room together, including Lady Whitworth.
If you will remember, she stole Morwennas baby from her and wont allow her to see him.
She of course then also invites Drake and Morwenna, and I am almost literally tongue-tied.
Why did you do this!
This is such an awful party!
What is the GAME PLAN here, Caroline?
CAROLINE, YOUR PARTY SUCKS.
Then Ross sucker-punches mahogany guy, which no one is probably sad about, and so the party ends.
Meanwhile, at Georges house, he continues to see Elizabeth, and his uncle has had enough.
He has George dragged to his room.
Note I dont say real father, because George has raised him, albeit at arms length.
This would be the end of him right here if Dwight didnt grab him at the last moment.
Dwight and George clinging to each other is the first gay energy this show has seen.
Do I ship Dwight/George?
Probably not, but … maybe.
The clock is ticking and we only have five episodes left!
Despard behaves recklessly to the point of worrying both Ross and Dwight.
Questions For Next Time
How long can this smiling go on?
Can Morwenna ever have nice things?
