It was immediately clear that the East Indies were to blame for Winter's death, but these sluts couldn't understand it. What was Delaney up to again? Another clever move?

Well, this episode was much quieter. They didn't even kill anyone.

We are waiting for the final. I hope they will set sail with fireworks (or at least plot a quick departure, making a lot of noise).

@Changa: but it seems to me that everything is correct. She became a wealthy widow, which is freedom for a woman of that era. She couldn't go with James because she loves London society, balls, and civilization. She has no place on a ship to the wild America of those years.

In general, it seems to me that he looks with great interest at the "stepmother" (if she is one) and he will definitely take her with him to the ship.

@Changa: it seems to me that he deliberately pushed her away from him, because everyone around him becomes a target. And he reacted sharply because he really did not expect that she would immediately take and finish him off. After all, as long as she was with her husband, she was safe, and it wasn't for nothing that he didn't use the opportunity to kill him in a duel.

There are no words to describe how cool it all is. The series dragged on no less than Westworld.

The indomitable Delaney played by Hardy is incomparable throughout the series, but it's unfair not to mention how well the entire cast plays their roles.

Brace is shown in a completely different way in this episode, and he looks real, a real crazy servant, just wow!

I really like Lorna Bowe, I like how she believes in James.

And anyway, people often comment on the number of murders in episodes, but they're not the buzz here! All these plot plans and intricacies are just fucking addictive.
There's only a little bit left before the finals, so it's time to make a prediction, and I almost always fail with them.:
Whores are being killed by East Indies to make it seem like everyone knows that James is to blame, but there is no one to prove it. The American doctor has not escaped, there will be a ship and a safe path. And after James is released, Godders and Chechister come into play and the East Indies will be in trouble. Something like this

@totonoto: Precisely! He also did not allow this to be done in the series. In this case, East India will tell the whores, "go home, Delaney is free," and Helga is like, "what the fuck are you doing, I want to turn him in, grab him," and then Bow and the kid will come and she will find out the truth and withdraw the application, she will not leave on the ship with James, and the latter will leave her a brothel in management, that is, as it was.

Cool episode, the finale promises to be epic! James, of course, was probably lying when he promised Godfrey to take him on the "team" and set sail, I'm sure he's not going to take anyone)
P.S. Lorna really likes it when she appeared in the series for some reason she didn't really like it, but by the end of the season Miss Delaney became one of her favorites characters)

They were wildly intrigued by the ending, and they probably correctly assumed that Delaney would sail away on the Company ship, but I don't know how he would pull it off at all. Sooo hope that's the next one. The series will be a sea of action. It's a pity that the series was overclocked for a very long time, or rather, it's a pity that there are so few episodes in the season;(
What kind of torture underwater with a mask was, I haven't even caught up yet, who knows?

@dystopia: It's just unclear what kind of drugs. It's just that this scene in my eyes didn't look like torture at all, because he was stupidly lying there resting in some kind of trough, but at the same time it seemed to be the most severe torture, because after the GG they didn't touch him anymore and finally agreed to his terms)

@Sweet-Sweet: The bottom line is that he can only breathe underwater in this mask through a tube that contains a certain amount of water. They wouldn't have been able to get him to drink that way. But there's no way out, if you want to breathe, you'll drink.
And the potion itself, kmk, is a kind of truth serum.

The whole cast is very talented, but Hardy in the role of James is simply incomparable..He's so used to this role that it gives you goosebumps to look at him, to chuckle, to walk...He's just so damn cool!

I was pleased with James' scene with his son, and the fact that he broke up with Zilfa. Lorna is much better))

@Lala_B: Chaplin is a misscast after all. Unfortunately, there's not much to do except stare. In the scene when James gives her a diamond, "for widowhood" is terribly overdone. I can't believe how such a game could not be reshot.

if the whole plan is to sail away and live happily in the gut, then there will be a fail

and it's such an interesting series, it's a pity the lines with Zilfa were given so little time and in general the whole topic was pushed so far. Lorna is wonderful, and I think it was clear that Braith killed her a couple of episodes ago, but the most memorable thing for me was Gatiss' fake makeup. Gentlemen, FX and BBC One don't seem to be the poorest channels, is it really impossible to do this at least a little naturally?

@mellory: the plan: to push everyone's heads together, both inside and outside the state, sail away with a bunch of loyal dogs to a quiet harbor and extinguish there until everything calms down. Which is not an option.
"lines with a Zilpha.".. Uana played extremely poorly in this series (I repeat). And fortunately, her not-so-pretty face wasn't shown much.

@Snart: kmk we were told in the last episode in plain text that she was not all right at home. and according to my feelings, she was the initiator of the connection between them, at least she certainly did not resist and was the "leader" of the couple. so it's strange to accuse an actress who has been prescribed the role of an unstable personality, trying with all her might to control what's inside and appear normal, of rolling her eyes and behaving strangely. according to the role, as it should be. and the fact that she is "not very" outwardly is your personal opinion. the markers taste and color different.

regarding: "push everyone's heads together, both inside and outside the state, sail away with a bunch of loyal dogs to a quiet harbor and extinguish there until everything calms down." In fact, you just said exactly what I meant. I wouldn't even say it in detail, but in other words they expressed a thought. so, in my comment, I expressed my thought quite clearly - I consider this "option" to be a fail :)
