Sanditon: Episode 8 Recap
The Sanditon finale had everything: love, loss and everything in between. Let's recap, shall we?
We start off this episode with Georgiana acting as protective BFF to Charlotte. Does she know something we don't 🤔
We're very shortly thereafter treated to these two wonderful human beings having a rollicking good time! 😍
And then, Sidney and Charlotte "take a walk into town" but they end up on the cliffs...
...and it's all pretty romantic...
...so OF COURSE they kiss! 🎉♥️🎉
Cut to: It's time for the ball!
TFW you just want to dance with the love of your life but the universe (and your brother) are conspiring against you.
Georgiana continues to look after the best interests of Charlotte...
...and of course Sidney plays it cool.
Arthur, on the other hand, continues his bid for the jolliest of the Parker brothers 🤣
Charlotte and Mr. Stringer share a dance...
While Sidney patiently waits his turn 🤣
Arthur and Georgiana cut a rug...
Even Esther and Babbers get in on the action!
Then, we find ourselves back on the very same balcony where it all began...
...you can still cut the tension with a knife, but it's a different kind of tension 😏
The award for worst timing goes to Edward who interrupts before Sidney and Charlotte finish their conversation 😡
Not all is lost as Lord Babington, in turn, sweeps Esther off her feet...
...metaphorically, of course. Esther doesn't need any man to take care of her 💪
Things take a turn for the worse when fire breaks out...
...and poor Mr. Stringer loses his father 😥
Turns out, Tom didn't insure the place sooo...
...they're out A LOT of money 😬
Sidney must leave Charlotte and go to London to help get the money to rebuild Sanditon.
But when he returns... he comes bearing news. Of an engagement. His. To Mrs. Eliza Campion. 😱
We know he's doing it to save his family but we're not sure we'd be as understanding as Charlotte. 😭
We now pause this somber recap for a bit of good news: Congrats are in order for Lord and Lady Babington!
Young Mr. Stringer and Charlotte part ways but not before he makes one last sweeping statement of adoration. Aww.
Maybe in another world, or another time and place, these two would have been perfect for each other 🤔
And with that, Charlotte heads out of Sanditon...
But not before Sidney stops her for one last goodbye...
...and we're not sure our hearts can take it.
Same, Charlotte. Same. 😭
And with that, we leave our beloved Sanditon behind. What a journey this has been. Sidlotte forever ♥️
