Does he tell them where he's going? NOPE. Hmm, I wonder if this unintentional advice will help Charlotte later on in this very episode? They get back to the house just in time to see Tom leaving to bring something back that he's convinced will help fix Sanditon. Mom Parker is kind of annoyed with Tom he won't chill out about Sanditon and he won't let anyone help him unless they trick him into it. The specter of naked Sidney thus exorcised (for now) Charlotte and Mom Parker head to the beach for a walk. Tom keeps haranguing Sidney for not bringing enough people to town, and Sidney, caught between a rock (older brother) and a hard place (awkward crush) decides to peace out of town and head back to London. She pulls the "Oh, I found the paper I was looking for!" trick, which, credit where credit is due, works pretty well. Like any normal person would, Charlotte panic-hides under the table, but gets spotted by Tom almost immediately. Having escaped with her innuendos unnoticed, Charlotte heads off to sort through papers in the study when Sidney and Tom walk in.
Charlotte, snapping out of her reverie, tells Mom Parker that she didn't see anything and that she "came back empty-handed." I hope someone gives the writer of this episode a raise for that line alone.
Let's just say that said flashback gives us a more unobstructed view than we got at the end of episode 2. Did anything impressive catch her eye? THAT question prompts Charlotte to enter a fugue state flashback to Sidney's whole. Mom Parker asks if Charlotte had a fun walk, and Charlotte, brilliantly skirting the truth, tells her she went to gather some shells. Meanwhile, back at the Parker house, Charlotte is once again getting distracted by the portraits of Sidney. In the tradition of bros the world over, Crowe and Babs show up to make fun of Sidney's struggling self.Ĭrowe: I bet that's what Charlotte said when she saw him swimming. Sidney wakes up on a table in Cheers: Sanditon looking sexily disheveled, and like all people suffering from a misguided hangover, is not thrilled about the nearby construction. We’re back in our favorite seaside destination just in time to see the trades back at work building Tom Parker's personal Tower of Babel.
So, in the grand tradition of media writers, I’m here to recap the season as it happens just in case you, dear reader, miss an episode and haven’t yet been able to catch up on WGBH Passport.
The show is based on Jane Austen’s unfinished final manuscript, and stars a whole host of truly charming and attractive actors. And let me tell you, 2020 is already off to a great start as far as we’re concerned, because we get to enjoy their newest offering: Sanditon. Every season, the Drama After Dark team gathers ‘round the conference room table to watch the latest and greatest in British dramas, often courtesy of our friends in MASTERPIECE.
