The happy couple plans to elope, in secret and against the wishes of her uncle/keeper, Mr. We have no idea why Caroline has reached the age of majority but still cannot be her own master, and has to give up her inheritance if she marries Dr. Fortune Cookie: Caroline and Dwight’s stars (and wires) remain crossed:.Maybe we’re cockeyed optimists but we are suddenly hoping there is an accidental (?) shooting with George on the receiving end, aren’t we? Aunt Agatha gets her gun because anything Tankard can do, she can do better.

In a snit she may regret, she goes looking for support elsewhere, falling right into George’s well-laid honey trap.īut not every Poldark woman is waiting for salvation to come from outside.

Adding further complications, silly boy Ross Poldark had left town without letting his other wife know, and no one is volunteering that bit of info, so Elizabeth is left thinking Ross is ignoring her. Alarmed at Tankard’s warnings of French imported anarchy, she sends Ross a 911 letter and that would have worked any other time, but on this day Prudie answers the door and it goes into her pocket. Of course, when Elizabeth thinks protection, she thinks of Ross Poldark, not George Warleggan. He thinks he can scare her into marrying him. But unbeknownst to them, back at his lair, George adjusts his blonde ringlets and commences to drip, drip, drip fear into Elizabeth’s ear via proxy Tankard. The scare tactics are intended to send her running to George’s sheltering (and creepy) arms. She wishes for Ross to continue to take an interest in her and frets that now that they have no common business ventures he won’t.

When You Wish It Upon a Star: Elizabeth thinks Ross is just not that into her at the worst possible time:Įverywhere Demelza is willfully self reliant, Elizabeth is willfully dependent.
