Things are finally hotting up in Sanditon<\/a>, after episode 5 saw three budding romances progress \u2013 and heroine Charlotte receive two kisses (one consensual, one very much non-consensual) from two different men.<\/p>\n In the land of Jane Austen, a ball always livens things up, although poor, hallucinatory Esther might have caused a little too much excitement\u00a0\u2013 though to be fair to her, being secretly poisoned by your evil step-brother doesn\u2019t do much for your social graces.<\/p>\n Other than some second-hand embarrassment for Lady Denham, Esther\u2019s mumbling episode (engineered by the scheming Edward) didn\u2019t do too much to spoil the fun at Tom Parker\u2019s ball, with Charlotte\u2019s younger sister Alison finally warming up to Captain Fraser, the battle-scarred soldier who\u2019s been pining after her since the start of the season.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll recall that in Sanditon season 2, episode 4<\/a>, Alison had a rude awakening when it turned out that the* handsome Captain Carter had lied about his heroics in battle, passing off Captain Fraser\u2019s war stories as his own.<\/p>\n Well, she now seems to have seen the error of her ways, going for a long walk on the beach with Fraser, before accepting a dance from him at the ball: cue mounting sexual tension as the pair touched gloved hands and stared into each other\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n The prospect of a ball even seemed to have brightened the grumpy Mr Colbourne\u2019s mood, who predictably relented and allowed his niece Augusta (she of the too-tight corset last episode) to attend the dance.<\/p>\n However, his cheery spirits didn\u2019t last long, as the dastardly Colonel Lennox (Sanditon\u2019s own Mr Wickham<\/a>) sprang a marriage proposal on Charlotte, forcing a kiss on her even as she refused him.<\/p>\n Meanwhile Georgiana Lamb was still glowing with satisfaction after sharing a (very much wanted) kiss from the eccentric artist Charles Lockhart \u2013 although the good-natured Mary Parker continues to keep her eye on them.<\/p> Sanditon season 2 episode 5 ended with a paternity reveal, when Alexander Colbourne brought Charlotte back to his manor house after the ball and finally explained what happened between his late wife Lucy and Colonel Lennox.<\/p>\n Sitting Charlotte down in front of the fireplace (you can already see where this will lead), he revealed that Lucy had an affair with Colonel Lennox and, after Lennox abandoned her, gave birth to his child, Leonora (who, incidentally, was listening in at the door during the big reveal).<\/p>\n Lucy then became a \u201cghost\u201d of herself, and it\u2019s implied she died by suicide when she walked off into a storm.<\/p>\n As Charlotte begged Mr Colbourne to forgive himself, the mood changed \u2013 and, because apparently there\u2019s nothing sexier than discussing your late wife\u2019s final moments with your new love interest, the pair shared a long, lingering kiss on the sofa.<\/p>\n Sanditon season 2 airs on BritBox<\/a> in the UK, with new episodes arriving on Mondays.
