    I finally saw it the othter day, and it does seem a bit hokey altough i
    enjoyed it all the same. Pamela Salems Emma does seem a bit dim whne
    she asks Daniel if Eliz is a "fallen woman"… surely our beloved Eliz
    does not look like one?

    Was a bit confused by the ending, why was Anne crying her heart out?
    Surely she's used to James putting profit before people by now! I had
    actually thought that james mihgt not have agreed to carrying the
    islanders to slavery, since if it got out it mihgt have led to trouble
    for him, if for no other reason. Look at the ep in Series 2 wehre he
    finds that his passager is a slave trader and he puts the slaves
    ashore?

    I think Anne was crying at the end of the episode
    not so much because of James' actions but from reaction to what she had just
    gone through.  She must have been     disappointed that someone she had believed in hadn't proved to be worth
    her support, especially when it had meant her opposing James; followed by
    the shock of him holding her hostage but most of all to seeing the man set on
    fire.  Most 19th century women would have fainted in horror after her
    experience!  So it's not at all surprising for her to collapse in
    tears.
