He has been summoned to Miss Penvenen, who has set her eyes on him and, generally speaking, whatever Lola wants, Lola gets, so she is rather peeved that he seems to be not that into her. Right on cue, the good doctor receives a letter from Killawarren (and some good natured teasing from Ross).

Dwight is diagnostically perplexed until a conversation with magical Ross makes the light bulb go off: It’s Scurvy, a disease caused by a lack of vitamin C! Historical Note: It was a Scottish surgeon in the Royal Navy who first proved, in 1753, that the fatal disease could be treated with citrus fruit, but it was another 40 years before his findings were acted upon. With memories of the putrid throat still fresh, Ross fears it is another plague and calls for Dr. The symptoms include odd bruising and bleeding. The Wheal Leisure miners and half the village people have come down with a mystery affliction. He just can’t help himself, can he? Playing Doctor Isn’t this what got him in trouble and sent off to the Colonies as a Red Coat in the Revolutionary War in the first place? Sigh. He goes down to the beach and helps escort the goods to their destination. After some finagling, Ross ignores Demelza’s stares and agrees to a deal he’ll be richer by £200 (that’s £26,800 in 2016 British pounds or $32,885 American) and six casks of salt. And it might be even more dangerous business to cross Demelza, who is not best pleased that Ross is taking this risk. Given the parade we just witnessed, we know this is dangerous business. Trencrom insists the smugglers maintain a strict don’t ask, don’t tell policy all the Poldarks have to do is pull the curtains and play dumb and there will be a payday in it for them. He has run out of navigable coves to land his black market cargo and he is hoping to use Nampara Cove, on Poldark land. Trencrom, an importer/exporter with Vandelay Industries, comes a calling. Ross, who has got Robin Hood in his bones, sympathizes with the prisoners, and bids the cops adieu with, “Your commitment is heartwarming,” which sounds rather like when a southerner says, “bless your heart”, which is the passive/aggressive equivalent of the (more honest) New York, you!” It seems like that will be the end of it, but then one dark night Mr.

The prisoners had been free trading (i.e.: importing without paying the required duty). Sometimes having a crazy future ex-girlfriend around has it benefits, has it not? Salt of the EarthĪs we begin, Ross and Demelza happen upon a forced march to Truro Jail. Dwight Enys had paid her any mind, we never would have known for sure. Then Miss Penvenen put a fine point on it for us: Three months! Had she not been counting the days since scoundrel Dr. As soon as we saw Demelza’s belly we were wondering about the time frame. It’s a funny thing, from the time last season ended to where we picked up the story at the beginning of this one, only minutes had elapsed, yet it seemed that months flew by between the end of episode 2 and the beginning of episode 3. And coincidentally, George Warleggan went from Nellie Olsen to Caroline Bingley to (quite possibly) Hannibal Lecter as the plot thickened. This week, for some odd reason, Ross Poldark decided to become a Cuban band singer who continually thwarts his flame-haired wife’s attempts to join him in show business, or fish business, or something like that.
