A devastated Dwight, dumped by Caroline, joins the Navy. There’s a glimpse of Ross and Elizabeth’s night of passion, Demelza’s furious reaction to Ross’s infidelity – she lets loose with a haymaker that flattens him, to the cheers of women everywhere – and Ross’s continuing indecision between the two women. Their planned elopement is thwarted when Dwight is waylaid while saving Ross from a sudden ambush. Predictably, they fall in love, but her Uncle Ray forbids the match, believing Dwight to be a fortune hunter. Dwight Enys, butts heads with spoiled young heiress Caroline Penvenen. Ross may or may not have impregnated Elizabeth during a stormy encounter in the interval between the accidental drowning of her first husband Francis and her hasty marriage to Ross’s wealthy archenemy George Warleggan, who is now in possession of Trenwith, Ross’s ancestral home. Ross and his wife Demelza reconcile as she continues to suspect Ross of pining for his old love Elizabeth. He’s back! That swashbuckling, shirtless scythe-swinging, mine-owning, obstinate individualist Captain Ross Poldark embarks on a third season of smoldering sensuality, questionable life decisions, and reckless heroics.įasten your seatbelts for a whirlwind recap of season two: Poldark airs Sundays at 8:00 pm and is available to stream.
