After a perfect date, Ruby ventures into the lion's den - the Beaufort Villa. In Mortimer's supposed absence, she and James are enjoying their togetherness to the full when James' father returns earlier than expected. Instead of hiding, the two make a courageous decision: they want to stand by their love. To their surprise, Mortimer shows an unusually approachable side over tea, and Ruby and James are elated. But then Mortimer abruptly ends the conversation, leaving them both distraught. During an emotional night, James and Lydia experience an unexpected breakdown of their father. The moment of vulnerability seems to bring the family closer together. Is this the chance for a new beginning? But these faint hopes and James and Ruby's renewed love are soon put to the test again. Ruby receives information from Alice Campbell that jeopardizes her future at Oxford. Is their love stronger than the forces that want to tear them apart?
