A Quick Guide to Where We Left Everyone Before 'Poldark' Season 4 Begins
It's been nearly a year since viewers checked in with Ross Poldark and family. Where do our characters stand heading into Season 4? Let's have a little Snarkin' on Poldark recap and catch-up on events we need to know.
Poldark Season 3 started with birth, death, and marriage, along with Elizabeth wandering around Trenwith muttering "Must hurt self, must hurt self" while desperately trying to engineer an accident plausible enough for a baby to come "early." Said baby, Valentine, is, of course, the son of Ross, not George, a fact either known (by Elizabeth, Ross, & Aunt Agatha), suspected (by Demelza) or in George's case "Why is everyone looking at my first born son funny?" Elizabeth may have covered her inconvenient problems for now. (Chynoweths are apparently a type of alien-human who only need seven months to have a fully baked baby. Gestation, how does it work?) But when she has to miraculously do it again on the next one with George's real firstborn son, nature may protest.
One would have hoped Aunt Agatha would take Elizabeth's secret to her grave, but Agatha doesn't do anything she doesn't want to. The poor biddy was put out of her misery of living with George by episode 7 last season, but not before sticking the worm of doubt in his ear once and for all. Elizabeth doesn't thank you, Agatha! The BBC, on the other hand, has your Supporting Actress BAFTA waiting by the coat check.
