- Monica is sentenced to hang and Kate accuses Esme of being responsible for her fate. Esme goes to visit Monica but leaves when she sees John in the cell. He was the anonymous person who paid for the lawyer and he tells Monica she will always be remembered. Next day at 8 o'clock she is executed. Marcus and Ruth's wedding goes ahead but it is a formal affair, not helped by staff animosity to the disdainful Ruth and the austere housekeeper and the shadow of Monica's death. Kate is hit hard by it and Stephen and Clive, the barman, fight over her welfare. Stephen - who is to manage a club for Marcus to dig himself out of a financial hole - is genuinely fond of Kate and tells her so, softening her attitude to him. Marcus tells Sarah he only married Ruth to appear 'respectable' and kisses her. She responds willingly. Mr. Collins sees them but says nothing.—don @ minifie-1
- Monica is in prison having been found guilty of murder and is awaiting the outcome of a petition that has been submitted to have her death sentence commuted to life in prison. There is much speculation about the identity of the anonymous individual who paid for her defense. At the hotel, the staff are upset that Marcus Bannerman and Ruth Manning haven't postponed their wedding which is to take place at the time of Monica's execution. Mrs. Harvey will hear nothing of it and Monica is getting what she deserves, as far as she is concerned. As a result, they walk off the job soon after the guests arrive for the reception. Marcus explains to Sarah just why he's married Ruth.—garykmcd
