Ross is arrested for inciting the looting on the beach and committed to Truro Assize court. Loyal Francis recognizes Warleggan's part in his cousin's downfall but his and Elizabeth's attempts to help are rebuffed. Meanwhile teen-aged orphan and wealthy heiress Caroline Penvenen arrives to stay with her influential uncle Ray, along with her vacuous boyfriend, Unwin Trevaunance, a parliamentary candidate at the local elections. Verity also returns to support Demelza and to reconcile with Francis, who accuses Warleggan of circulating pamphlets blackening Ross's name. On the eve of his trial Ross is visited by Warleggan with a proposal which Ross rejects. Demelza is still optimistic that Ross will walk free but Francis is only despairing and takes drastic action.
一句话评论：Ross脑袋进水，行为毫无逻辑的一集。波达克爱伊丽沙白吗？。爱是蜂蜜也是砒霜。肺被男主气炸。《波达克》第二季：婚姻中的好女人，你为什么总是受伤？。失望。这部片里就他喵的没一个让人喜欢的角色吗？。
