- February 20, 2011
In this episode of Masterpiece's season 41, we are presented with the second part of the three-part series called "Any Human Heart." The story picks up where we left off in the previous episode where we saw Logan Mountstuart dealing with the fallout from his failed marriage.
Now, Logan is in London, trying to rebuild his life. He has started a new career as a writer and is trying to make a name for himself in the literary world. We get a glimpse into his life as a struggling artist. Despite the challenges, he perseveres, and his hard work finally pays off when he gets published in a prestigious magazine.
Logan's love life is still a mess, though. He is involved with Lottie, a woman with whom he has an on-again-off-again relationship. He is also still in love with his ex-wife, Freda, who has moved on to a new relationship. Logan's inability to move on from Freda causes him pain, but Lottie is always there to comfort him.
As we progress through the episode, we see Logan meeting some new people who greatly influence his life. He meets a young woman named Land Fothergill who becomes his muse and inspires him to write. We also meet his free-spirited friend Peter Scabius, who teaches him to live life to the fullest.
However, not all of Logan's new relationships are positive. He meets the enigmatic Ernest Hemingway, who is mildly interested in Logan's writing but more interested in drinking. The two have a memorable night in a Parisian bar, but it ends with Hemingway assaulting another patron.
As Logan's writing career takes off, he becomes more and more successful. He is even asked to attend a literary conference in New York, where he meets some of the biggest names in the literary world. However, Logan's success is accompanied by some difficulties in his personal life.
Lottie has become addicted to alcohol and drugs, and Logan is powerless to help her. He also finds out that Freda is pregnant, and the news sends him into a downward spiral.
As we reach the end of the episode, we see Logan at a crossroads. He has achieved great things in his writing career, but his personal life is in shambles. He must decide whether to continue down the path of success or focus on repairing his relationships.
In "Any Human Heart, Part 2 of 3," we get to see the highs and lows of Logan Mountstuart's life as he tries to navigate his way through love, career, and personal struggles. Will he find the happiness he so desperately seeks, or will his choices lead him down a different path? Tune in to find out.
