George pursues a vacant seat in Parliament as Agatha plans for her hundredth birthday and Ross is given a proposition. Meanwhile, there is a new arrival at the Whitworth vicarage.

Ross gifts some of Nampara’s land to the peasants as a means to provide for themselves but the Poldarks learn that it is their friend, Dr Enys who needs immediate care, suffering now from post-traumatic stress disorder following his internment in France. To Caroline’s chagrin Ross fetches Armitage to help council Dwight. In reaction to Ross’ rescue of Hugh Armitage, George desperately needs to secure a connection to the nobility and so plans to force Morwenna’s marriage to Osborne. However, her resilience leads George to become suspicious and he has Tom Harry follow her. Drake delights Geoffrey Charles and Morwenna and further infuriates George by secretly reintroducing toads to Trenwith’s pond. Geoffrey Charles gives Drake his bible as a gift and naively reveals Morwenna is to be wed. Drake confronts Morwenna and she agrees to marry him instead. Morwenna returns to Trenwith to tell George and Elizabeth that she will refuse Ossie’s offer of marriage.

Ross attempts to learn of Dwight's fate in Revolutionary France. Meanwhile, in Cornwall, George and Elizabeth lock horns with Sam and Drake.

As Elizabeth's ambivalence to Valentine grows, George courts Sir Francis Basset for the vacant magistracy position and Ross is reintroduced to Tholly Tregirls, an old friend of his father's and a ne'er-do-well who has returned to area. Verity returns to Trenwith, awaiting word from her husband Andrew, whose ship is on route to Lisbon and Elizabeth feels the sting of Morwenna and Geoffrey Charles' connection. After Valentine is christened, having seen Morwenna as they pass, Drake suggests the church to Sam as a place for the Methodists to worship. George informs Verity and Caroline of a recent naval battle and, distraught, they inform Demelza and Ross.

Ross throws himself into repairing Nampara and his relationship with Demelza but Elizabeth's pregnancy hangs over the couple. Caroline's dying uncle, Ray, wishes for her future to be secured by marriage, unaware she is secretly engaged to Dwight Enys. At Nampara, Demelza's brother Drake requests Demelza return to their dying father and, at Trenwith, George reveals to Cary his plan to separate Geoffrey Charles from Elizabeth ahead of his heir's arrival.
