Whilst anxious to build their own Methodist chapel, the Carne brothers work well at the mine, though they defy Ross by entering Warleggan's estate, where Drake meets and is captivated by Morwenna. Along with Caroline, Verity attends Valentine's christening where she unsuccessfully attempts reconciliation between the Warleggans and Ross. Both women are alarmed to hear their husband's ships are missing at sea, but Verity's spouse Andrew is found alive and well. Despite unexpected support from the Reverend Halse, Ross refuses to put himself forward as magistrate replacing the late Ray Penvenen, giving Warleggan the victory. Later Ross hears that Dwight has been cast ashore in revolutionary France and, with his friend Tholly Tregirls, sets out to rescue him.
