About the Episode

Anne Elliot fell deeply in love with handsome naval officer Frederick Wentworth. But with neither fortune nor rank to recommend him, Anne's family were against the match and persuaded her to break off the engagement. She has never stopped loving Wentworth, and when he returns from sea having made his fortune and reputation, she can only watch as every young woman falls at his feet.
