The episode focussed on the annual Midsummer Fair, with Tom Parker (played by Kris Marshall in the Sanditon cast<\/a>) desperate to obtain an elephant as a star attraction to bring in visitors.<\/p>\n However, when a rival town outbid Tom, Colonel Francis Lennox (Tom Weston-Jones) came to the rescue with the loan of a hot air balloon from his regiment and, to Lennox\u2019s delight, our heroine Charlotte (Rose Williams) was the first local brave enough to take to the sky alongside him.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, Esther (Charlotte Spencer) was left alone at Sanditon House with the deceitful Clara Brereton (Lily Sacofsky) while the servants and Lady Denham (Anne Reid) attended the fair \u2013 and unfortunately, Clara immediately went into labour after they left, forcing Esther (who has been struggling to conceive) to help deliver her enemy\u2019s child.<\/p>\n At the episode\u2019s conclusion, Charlotte revealed to Lennox that she had finally warmed to her difficult employer, Mr Colbourne \u2013 prompting an apparently jealous Lennox to reveal a dark connection between himself and Colbourne.<\/p> At the end of Sanditon season 2 episode 3, Colonel Francis Lennox\u00a0warned Charlotte about her widowed employer Alexander Colbourne (Ben Lloyd-Hughes), the guardian of her two young charges.<\/p>\n Colonel Lennox claimed that Mr Colbourne \u201cstole\u201d the love of his life, Lucy, from him before \u201cdestroying\u201d her \u2013 and we know that Colbourne\u2019s late wife, the very same Lucy, died under mysterious circumstances.<\/p>\n Lennox also claimed Charlotte was very similar in character to Lucy, implying that both men would find Charlotte as equally attractive.<\/p>\n Can we trust Colonel Lennox? At the start of Sanditon season 2, the charming soldier seemed the obvious choice for Charlotte, but the seeds of doubt are already being sewn after Lennox failed to pay off his town creditors and additionally pressured Tom Parker into gambling away a sizeable sum at the end of the episode.<\/p>\n Could Colonel Lennox represent the duplicitous \u2018Mr Wickham\u2019 figure of the season, while Mr Colbourne \u2013 both prickly and proud, but clearly warming up to Charlotte \u2013 represents the \u2018Mr Darcy\u2019 character?<\/p>\n What\u2019s more, Sanditon is also setting up a Cyrano de Bergerac-esque scenario for Charlotte\u2019s younger sister, Alison (Rosie Graham), with the brave but battle-scarred Captain Fraser overshadowed by the handsome, tongue-tied Captain Carter, who uses Fraser\u2019s poems and war stories to woo Alison by passing them off as his own.<\/p>\n Sanditon season 2 airs on BritBox<\/a> in the UK, with new episodes arriving on Mondays. <\/strong>Take a look at the rest of our Drama<\/a> coverage, or check out what else is on with our TV Guide<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0to get each issue delivered to your door.
