Let’s allow that to sink in for a moment. Ross takes all his money and gives it to his ex, leaving his own wife and child in very real danger of complete and utter destitutionĪnd I start to ask myself that as well, especially after he decides to use the very last bit of money he has to anonymously offer to buy up Elizabeth’s son’s shares in Wheal Grace. Ross, being an idiot of sorts, is all, ‘Sure! What could go wrong?’ but when he reports to Demelza she basically screams, ‘WTF is wrong with you?’ The smuggler he’s been working with offers to make inquiries into the man’s whereabouts if Ross allows him to stash some smuggled goods right in his house. While his wife secretly stockpiles long-shelf-life food, Ross desperately tries to track down a former miner who swore there was copper in Wheal Grace before escaping to the Continent. Ross’s debt to the Warleggans is coming due, and with absolutely no way to pay it, he’s likely to wind up in debtor’s prison on Boxing Day. Elizabeth’s got no money whatsoever, and because she was raised to be about as useful as Caroline’s pug, the only thing she can think to do is to never smile at home, because that might give her wrinkles, and nobody wants some wrinkled old crone.ĭemelza, being more practical (and, let’s face it, sensible) is battening down the hatches at Nampara. That copper Francis thought he found was actually fool’s copper, so the mine is useless. And also: Looooooove! I ♥ Enys.īut everyone else is in a bad place. Enys, however, will not be bullied and basically shrugs and says: ‘bring it’. Although that was definitely enough to live on quite comfortably at the time, it’s nowhere near the kind of money needed to keep Caroline in the sort of lifestyle she’s been raised in.

He meanly threatens to cut off Caroline’s inheritance, leaving her with a measly £6000. And to her credit, Caroline is fairly cool with it.īut her uncle is not cool with any of this, and he summons Enys to his study to basically do this: She also tries to convince Enys to set up a fashionable practice somewhere…not in Cornwall, but he refuses to just be some bored doctor to rich hypochondriacs, because: Honour. Except Enys, because Caroline’s back! And she still hasn’t learned how these ‘relationship’ things work, but she’s willing to try and muddle through. Previously on Poldark: Francis totally thought he’d hit copper down in the mine, and then he drowned.Ĭhristmas is fast approaching, and it’s not looking like a merry one for anyone.
