Episode 4
Sam has been gadding about while Elizabeth was away. But that is nothing compared to what happens when she finds him fondling the maid. With Kris Marshall and Katherine Jakeways.
Sam writes a letter to the Duke of York laying out his suggestions for reform of the Navy Board; the Duke is delighted and signs the letter as his own.

Adapted by Hattie Naylor.
