It seems worth saying though: Elizabeth is really good at managing George. She doesn’t really want to, but decides on a month, which you’d think we be enough time for Ross to make up his mind. George says that he’ll try to be indulgent as long as she picks a day for sure right now.
She says that he clearly doesn’t approve of their match, but just being around him made her think about how it hasn’t been that long since Francis died. He wants to know if her sudden change of heart has anything to do with Ross, which Elizabeth denies. George is annoyed because he’s been inviting everyone and their mom, even though Elizabeth said she wanted a private ceremony. She says that plunging into a new marriage so quickly looks tacky and she fears that she’s been rash. So he’s kiiind of taken aback when Elizabeth tells him that she wants to pump the brakes on their impending nuptials. Meanwhile, Vile George is busy sending out invitations to his wedding with Elizabeth. Even Aunt Agatha basically believes Ross will eventually choose Elizabeth over his wife. It’s obvious that she believes the fact that the two of them had sex has radically changed the landscape of her life. For her part, Elizabeth is hanging around Trenwith, waiting for Ross to text her back. It’s just a shame that it took this long.Įlizabeth Postpones Her Wedding. I maybe rewound this scene and watched it twice, because I’ve been dying for someone, anyone to tell Ross Poldark about himself for this entire season. So it’s a shame that he actually turned out to be less than other men, so much so that she can’t be proud of him anymore. She says it used to seem to her that he had an innate nobility of character, and she was proud to marry him. Demelza, who has every right to be as furious as she clearly is, says that she can’t believe she used to look up to his trifling self. Well, perhaps “apologize” is too strong a word, when he basically says that he never promised to be perfect and he knows her pride is hurt in the wake of what he did. Ross tries to apologize to Demelza again. This is funnier than it should be, because it leaves Ross to struggle with Prudie’s horrible cooking She’s also refusing to help with the chores or cook or do anything other than care for her son. Ross is moping about the disaster at the mine, and Demelza is refusing to even come down for breakfast with him. Not surprisingly, given Ross’ completely unapologetic confession to adultery last week, things are not so good between the Poldarks at Nampara. Need more details? You can find last week’s recap here. And Ross admits to Demelza that he “had no choice” but to sleep with Elizabeth, and she knocks him flat. (And kills a couple of people.) Dwight gets a letter from Caroilne, asking him to stop writing to her. (Surprise: Ross is the worst!) Elsewhere, things are looking up for a moment at Wheal Grace when the miners discover a significant tin deposit, but a cave-in destroys all their hopes. The two of them end up sleeping together, in an act that’s in an uncomfortable grey area, consent-wise.
Ross, as you might expect, doesn’t take well to this news and barges over to Trenwith to confront his ex about her choices that have no impact on his life at all. Previously on Poldark: Elizabeth agrees to marry Vile George Warleggan, because she’s a broke widow with a child who’s out of options. Demelza looks amazing - that dress!
