вЂњBetween your inability to let her go and my unfounded suspicions, we hounded her to an early grave. George, in one of his lucid moments, does confront Ross about ElizabethвЂ™s death. If only uncle Cary Warleggan would give Dr. But that fancy title likely wonвЂ™t do him a lot of good if he ends up in the madhouse.

On the plus side for George, he did get knighted by the king and is now officially Sir George Warleggan. HeвЂ™s even told his neglected son Valentine that heвЂ™ll be bringing his dead mother home. His uncle has to hustle him out of a meeting with Hanson after he starts talking to his dead wife (though it seems that this might have saved him from a bad investment, as Hanson is suspiciously eager to get him to sign on the dotted line). GeorgeвЂ™s weak grip on reality has deteriorated since last weekвЂ™s episode. Unfortunately, RossвЂ™s past advocacy for the poor and his progressive politics will only help his enemies paint him as a dangerous revolutionary. Not only is Ross a supporter of the radical Despard, he was present at the attempted assassination of the monarch, and is a friend of the man defending the killer.

George WarlegganвЂ™s new slave-owning associate Ralph Hanson, who is implicated in the pamphlet, has a plan to discredit Ross: guilt by association. DespardвЂ™s case garners public attention, and thatвЂ™s not necessarily good news. Only Demelza takes it upon herself to hand out some copies in Hyde Park, which is basically the 19th century equivalent of blasting it all over social media. Ross prints it up as a pamphlet to share with a few sympathetic people in Parliament. Meanwhile, Ballantine has put his account of what happened to Despard down in writing.

And the doctorвЂ™s perceived sympathy for the would-be killer has some calling him a Jacobin - not an idle insult considering the English eliteвЂ™s fear that revolution could spread to their shores.

DwightвЂ™s testimony saves Hadfield from the noose but ends up condemning the man to Bedlam, which is perhaps a worse fate than death. Real-life lawyer Thomas Erskine enlists him to testify on behalf of attempted royal assassin James Hadfield (another historical figure). Dwight Enys is attracting attention with his anachronistically woke ideas about mental health. In fact, he was the вЂњworst nightmareвЂќ of the slave owners and planters in Honduras, Ballantine explains to Ross during a clandestine meeting in a shadowy pub.ДЄs Ross begins to realize the extent of the forces at work against Ned, Dr. The plot thickens quickly, as it becomes clear that Despard rubbed some very powerful people the wrong way with his opposition to slavery (and his marriage to a former slave). Ross and his family are in London, where the Cornish mine owner is trying to track down NedвЂ™s former secretary Ballantine, whom he believes can shed light on who spread the lies that landed his friend in prison.
