DEMELZA DELIGHTS!

Several men take a liking to Demezla. Captain McNeil (Henry Garrett)
pays a visit to Demelza; he informs her that Sir Hugh Bodrugan (Patrick Ryecart) is in need of her services. Even though Ross is jealous, Demelza pays a visit to the flirtatious scoundrel. In an effort, to secure money for her and Ross, she suggests to Sir Hugh that he buy their cow. He considers it, but only under certain terms. When he makes a move on Demelza; it’s Captain McNeil to the rescue. Of course, he reassures Demelza that he’ll be there for her, the next time Bodrugan makes an advance towards her. Keep in mind, McNeil has a crush on Mrs. Poldark too.

JUD IS ALIVE!

George (Jack Farthing) is out for revenge. He sends his henchmen Tankard (Sebastian Armesto) to oversee the beating of Jud for not testifying against Ross at the trial. The incident goes too far and everyone thinks Jud is dead. When they find his body, Prudie (Beatie Edney) finds money in his pocket. She decides to use it to give her loving husband a proper burial. In a comedic twist of fate, Jud turns up alive, scaring the life out of everyone else.

‘TIS THE SEASON FOR FAMILY

Francis confides in Ross that he’d like to go back into the mining business and has the financial means to do so.

FISHY WAYS

At another party, Caroline Penvene (Gabriella Wilde) finds a way to lure her crush; Dr. Enys to her attend to her. At first, it seems to be a bit FISHY; however, it turns out, that she is in need of medical attention.
