Later, Demelza wants to know why Ross so incredibly rude and also left her stuck entertaining his dumb friend on her own. He’s actually really salty and rude to both his wife and his friend, and it seems to come out of nowhere. Ross says if Demelza wants to go over to Sir Hugh’s she can, and he’s sure she can handle herself. He’s surprised to see his old friend, but they bro it out with plenty of dumb army-related jokes. What accent is that even supposed to be? Scottish? Oh, and also Sir Hugh is apparently an infamous lech, and Demelza doesn’t look like she’s planning to go see him anytime soon.Īnyway, Ross comes home in the midst of this conversation. He also has the world’s worst accent – it’s honestly difficult to understand him in places. Apparently he did actually appear in Season 1, when he was in town to investigate some smuggling and murder.
There is much to unpack here – first of all, I had to google who Captain McNeil even was, because I had completely forgotten him. He seems very taken with Demelza, and tells her that Sir Hugh Bodregun would really like it if she’d come visit his sick cow.
He says he’s in town because the laughably named Unwin Trevaunce his hired him to oversee local security, but he’s happy he can use this time to catch up with old friends. Hi, Ross’ Random Army Friend! Captain McNeil, an old army buddy of Ross’, shows up one day out of the blue at Nampara.

Demelza heads off to the beach, to contemplate how to tell Ross that she’s pregnant, or maybe to think how good it would feel to hit him in is dumb face sometimes. He just says he’s been busy with the mine and harvest stuff, and he has to head off to Truro for a shareholders meeting anyway, so he really doesn’t have time for her feelings or anything messy like that. For her part, Demelza wants to know why Ross hasn’t been around much since escaping the threat of prison or worse last week. Of course he actively works to keep this info from his wife, because Ross isn’t so much with the sharing. This statement is proven true almost immediately, when Ross gets a letter that informing him that he has a thousand-pound debt coming due, like, this week. Particularly his finances, because they are terrible. His primary creepy flunky tells Warleggan that even though Ross isn’t dead, they can still go after him in other ways.
He seems pretty sure that Ross is out for some serious vengeance and possible physical violence since he, you know, tried to have him killed and all. I think that proper gentlemen probably call this “boxing,” but George is busy throwing punches at nothing in his living room and hyping himself up that these are the skills that are going to protect him from Ross. It’s almost harvest time, and Ross is busy wandering the gorgeous fields of Cornwall, so everything almost feels normal again.Įlsewhere, Vile George Warleggan is learning how to fight.

Now that the mess of Ross’ trial is out of the way, the new season of Poldark can get a proper start. Ross’ trial is over, so we’re on to a whole new story this season. Need more details? You can find last week’s recap here. New characters the Penvenens arrive on the scene, and Miss Caroline is quite taken with Ross’ dishy doctor friend Dwight Enys. After much angsting from literally every other character on the show about Ross’ future and a long speech to the jury where he talks about how rough poor people have it in the world, Ross is acquitted, just like we all knew he would be. He even tries to bribe Ross’ awful servant Jud to testify against him. Vile George Warleggan makes it his personal mission to try and get Ross thrown in jail for life or hanged, because he hates him completely. Previously on Poldark: Ross is arrested and put on trial for encouraging wrecking and inciting a riot.
