Leith showed up. He’s now basically BFF with Francis, so Francis gave him land and a house with tennants and stuff. Not a tremendous amount, but definitely way way more than he had as a servant.

Leith goes to find Greer to try and persuade her to marry him. She says no, what he has isn’t enough to support her and her sisters.

There some weird “fireworks” show on two ships to celebrate France winning Calais. All the soldiers are on the boats. One of them explodes. Greer thinks Leith is dead.

He isn’t. They celebrate him not being dead by lots and lots of kissing. Leith proposes marriage again. Greer says no again. And then Leith makes this super badass amazing speech about how he can’t wait to rise up and be everything she says he won’t be, and how she’s going to be alone and unhappy and regret her decision, but by then it’ll be too late.
