Episode 2
Caroline and July compete for Robert’s attention. Robert announces that he’s marrying Caroline, but on the wedding night goes to July’s bed and the two start a passionate affair.
After Robert arrives at the great house, July and Caroline compete for his attention and a love triangle develops. The harvest at Amity is ready to be taken in or the crop will spoil, but tensions are brewing between the workers and Robert.
