Will the deplorable behavior from basically everyone in Cornwall be explained by the fact that the region is built directly over the Hellmouth? Will Mr. and Mrs. Pigpen finally take a much-needed shower? Will Ross finally take off his shirt? Only one way to find out! On with the show!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The camera lingers on inanimate objects -- a lantern, a rope, a straw hat, a bell, as Mr. Pigpen waxes poetic: \"Mining, 'tis in the blood! Eat, sleep, live and breathe it. She's your salvation and downfall.\" Elsewhere, some fancy red coats nail a \"Notice of Closure\" sign on a mine entrance. I really think we 21st century dwellers should get back into the habit of nailing dramatic proclamations on people's doors. It's not like we're using that hammer we got from IKEA for anything else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyway, the mine workers show up and are like, \u003cem>Um, how dare you\u003c/em>. A guy wearing eyeliner, who might be hotter than Ross, responds by assaulting one of the workers. A very uncool move, but did I mention he might be hotter than Ross? Take a look for yourself:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/Screen-Shot-2016-09-11-at-2.47.34-PM.png\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-36391\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/Screen-Shot-2016-09-11-at-2.47.34-PM-800x445.png\" alt=\"poldark evil hottie\" width=\"800\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/Screen-Shot-2016-09-11-at-2.47.34-PM-800x445.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/Screen-Shot-2016-09-11-at-2.47.34-PM-400x223.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/Screen-Shot-2016-09-11-at-2.47.34-PM-768x427.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/Screen-Shot-2016-09-11-at-2.47.34-PM-1440x801.png 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/Screen-Shot-2016-09-11-at-2.47.34-PM-1180x656.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/Screen-Shot-2016-09-11-at-2.47.34-PM-960x534.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/Screen-Shot-2016-09-11-at-2.47.34-PM-1038x576.png 1038w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/Screen-Shot-2016-09-11-at-2.47.34-PM.png 1679w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across town, some old dude gets dressed, dabs cologne on his neck and puts on his cutest wig, while people bang on his door, yelling about what's going down at the mine.

You see, Malfoy and his uncle declined to extend the recently departed's loans, leading to the closing of the mine and all the rest. Malfoy's uncle asks, \"Are we in the business of sentiment or profit?\" and then blasts Rihanna's \"Bitch Betta Have My Money.\" Point taken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this moment, a woman with dyed hair (so she must be a prostitute) emerges because this is her jam, but also because she wants to know if she is excused or if she has to have sex with Malfoy again. He impolitely tells her to be more polite by calling him Sir from now on and sure, he'll take another roll in the hay, thanks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at Ross', the worker who was knocked out by hot eyeliner guy is telling Ross all about the closing of the mine and how his mother and sisters will starve, if he doesn't get another gig soon. Ross agrees to employ him because hiring randoms, despite not having any money whatsoever, has kind of become his \"thing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ross heads over to his uncle's house and Pinky Ring is, of course, in the window staring down at him as he approaches. Get a life, girlfriend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs, Verity (a.k.a. Daisy: The Prequel) is super jazzed that Ross has arrived 'cause everyone she lives with is so awful. Ross announces that he's not moving to London and returns his uncle's money. He misses a great opportunity to do this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/tumblr_nqr5wkWggS1sjc5sqo1_r1_500.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36401\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/tumblr_nqr5wkWggS1sjc5sqo1_r1_500.gif\" alt=\"rihanna money throw gif\" width=\"500\" height=\"230\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They get to talking about the suicide and Ross shares that he thinks it's worrisome that almost everyone has loans through Malfoy and his Slytherin relative. Ross' uncle is not worried because Malfoy is Backstabber Cousin's best friend, which makes a lot of sense. Ross invites Verity over (maybe he plans to hire her too?), but his uncle quickly shuts down their hangout. She apparently needs to stay home to pour his cream and wipe his butt. #JusticeforVerity!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Ross leaves, Pinky Ring is \u003cem>still\u003c/em> creepily watching from the window. Take up crocheting or scrapbooking, something! She sits down to think about how maybe it wasn't the greatest idea to hook up with her ex's cousin. The aphorism goes: Think of the boring Devil and he shall appear. Backstabber Cousin enters and Pinky Ring tries to avoid him by saying that she's tired and plans to lie down.

Will the deplorable behavior from basically everyone in Cornwall be explained by the fact that the region is built directly over the Hellmouth? Will Mr. and Mrs. Pigpen finally take a much-needed shower? Will Ross finally take off his shirt? Only one way to find out! On with the show!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The camera lingers on inanimate objects -- a lantern, a rope, a straw hat, a bell, as Mr. Pigpen waxes poetic: \"Mining, 'tis in the blood! Eat, sleep, live and breathe it. She's your salvation and downfall.\" Elsewhere, some fancy red coats nail a \"Notice of Closure\" sign on a mine entrance. I really think we 21st century dwellers should get back into the habit of nailing dramatic proclamations on people's doors. It's not like we're using that hammer we got from IKEA for anything else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyway, the mine workers show up and are like, \u003cem>Um, how dare you\u003c/em>. A guy wearing eyeliner, who might be hotter than Ross, responds by assaulting one of the workers. A very uncool move, but did I mention he might be hotter than Ross?

You see, Malfoy and his uncle declined to extend the recently departed's loans, leading to the closing of the mine and all the rest. Malfoy's uncle asks, \"Are we in the business of sentiment or profit?\" and then blasts Rihanna's \"Bitch Betta Have My Money.\" Point taken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this moment, a woman with dyed hair (so she must be a prostitute) emerges because this is her jam, but also because she wants to know if she is excused or if she has to have sex with Malfoy again. He impolitely tells her to be more polite by calling him Sir from now on and sure, he'll take another roll in the hay, thanks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at Ross', the worker who was knocked out by hot eyeliner guy is telling Ross all about the closing of the mine and how his mother and sisters will starve, if he doesn't get another gig soon. Ross agrees to employ him because hiring randoms, despite not having any money whatsoever, has kind of become his \"thing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ross heads over to his uncle's house and Pinky Ring is, of course, in the window staring down at him as he approaches. Get a life, girlfriend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downstairs, Verity (a.k.a. Daisy: The Prequel) is super jazzed that Ross has arrived 'cause everyone she lives with is so awful. Ross announces that he's not moving to London and returns his uncle's money. He misses a great opportunity to do this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/tumblr_nqr5wkWggS1sjc5sqo1_r1_500.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36401\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/tumblr_nqr5wkWggS1sjc5sqo1_r1_500.gif\" alt=\"rihanna money throw gif\" width=\"500\" height=\"230\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They get to talking about the suicide and Ross shares that he thinks it's worrisome that almost everyone has loans through Malfoy and his Slytherin relative. Ross' uncle is not worried because Malfoy is Backstabber Cousin's best friend, which makes a lot of sense. Ross invites Verity over (maybe he plans to hire her too?), but his uncle quickly shuts down their hangout. She apparently needs to stay home to pour his cream and wipe his butt. #JusticeforVerity!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Ross leaves, Pinky Ring is \u003cem>still\u003c/em> creepily watching from the window. Take up crocheting or scrapbooking, something! She sits down to think about how maybe it wasn't the greatest idea to hook up with her ex's cousin. The aphorism goes: Think of the boring Devil and he shall appear. Backstabber Cousin enters and Pinky Ring tries to avoid him by saying that she's tired and plans to lie down. He asks, \"Can I join you?\", creepily molests her braid and then basically does this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/a9acc365a74c869454847a20279d55de.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36402\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/a9acc365a74c869454847a20279d55de.gif\" alt=\"creepy gross kiss gif\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the road, the miners who beat up all those bros last episode find Ross and ask him if he can hire them too. Ross still has zero dollars, but says \u003cem>Probably!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ross heads to his father's abandoned mine to see if there's anything salvageable to be had there.

Only dowdy girls who are 25 and over are supposed to do menial chores! Pretty girls are meant to spend their days gazing out of windows at the men they wish they were still sleeping with. Everybody knows that!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In town, Ross tells his banker that he wants to reopen the mine.

A banker laughing in your face is kind of a boner killer though so he passes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the road back home (so much commuting in Cornwall!), Ross runs into Verity, who has a favor to ask: will he escort her to a ball? She wants to do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across town, Backstabber Cousin is asking the same favor of Pinky Ring: \"My dear, tonight's assembly, will you not reconsider?

Verity warns him that he could have one of these girls naked by the end of this song.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another room, a bunch of old snobs are tut-tutting about the miners. Why do commoners have to be so \u003cem>loud\u003c/em> about their rights? Backstabber Cousin brings up the #AllMenAreCreatedEqual hashtag that is sweeping America. Everyone laughs and says it won't be trending for much longer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back home, Mr. and Mrs. Pigpen are taking advantage of Demelza, making her wash their clothes and the floors and give them pillows for their backs and feet. Is there any chance Demelza will develop telekinesis soon and exact revenge on these two, her bro-y family, Ross' uncle, etc? A boy can dream...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at the house party, Malfoy follows Ross around saying rude things that initially sound like pleasantries, and Ross says veiled rude things in return with a smile because they're British and this is how rivalries work over there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the ballroom, Verity is thinking about how she's going to be a virgin forever and ever, until she's interrupted by a sea captain! Verity says all the ship-related words she knows: sails and masts. You go, girl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elsewhere on the dance floor, the girl from episode one, who talked sh*t about the Poldarks while Ross was asleep in the coach on his way home, shows up and pukes boring small talk all over Ross. His name is no, his sign is no, his number is no; you need to let it go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back home, Demelza sneaks into Ross' room and touches all his stuff. She sits at the piano and dreams of being a proto-Tori Amos. She already has a lot of experiences to pull from: the lice, the dog fight, the hot employer. This could work!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at the rave, things are heating up between Verity and the captain. He is teaching her new boat words, some of which are downright salacious, like \"spanker boom,\" which is \u003ca href=\"http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Spanker+boom\">apparently a real thing\u003c/a>.

It's a scene snatched from every dorm room in America. Roommates are the worst.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ross rushes over to his uncle's place to formally announce that he's stealing Pinky Ring back.

Progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outside, as Ross is leaving, Verity pops up, but oddly isn't wearing her scarlet letter (the embroiderer must still be working on it). She says that her family is lying. The captain barely pushed his wife, who then did technically die, but it was sort of an accident and, despite not knowing his star sign or favorite color, she just \u003cem>knows\u003c/em> that he would never ever hurt her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cut to Verity and her man hanging out at Ross' house because he loves helping people (if hiring them isn't a possibility).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Ross handles some heavy bales of hay with his shirt completely on, a worker notices the tops of parasols over the fence.
