All Sanditon society eagerly awaits Georgiana's grand celebration for her won trial, but Samuel warns her the bids for her can only ends if she either gives up her fortune or marries, so she agrees to wed duke Harry Montrose, whose mother long realized his 'impossible' gay tendency and convinces him, instead of retreating to a cottage in Wales as he promised with Arthur. Reverend Hankins angrily stops his sister Beatrice conversing with Dr. Fuchs, who just returned from London. While Tom dismisses Mary's concerns and unread alternative plan for locals losing their homes as amateur nonsense, Pryce proposes to Lady Denham, who is unwilling to give up her title. Unsuspecting fiance accepts for Charlotte on visit to the Colbournes to help Mary present a plan to found a local school. At the party, Augusta accepts to elope with Edward, who circumvented Alexander Colbourne's ban on seeing each-other by using Leo as 'secret agent'.
