Ross and his new bride Demelza are invited to dinner at the home of Elizabeth and Francis at Trenwith manor. Uncle Charles is now dead and buried. The lavish dinner is highlighted by a beautiful ballad sung by Demelza, who impresses everyone with her voice.
Francis has continued his dissolute ways of gambling and is regularly seen in the company of the courtesan Margaret. The mining prospects look grim, as Ross anticipates that the workers cannot be paid after Christmas. George Warleggan has purchased the shares in Wheal Leisure from Dr. Choake. George's goal is to squeeze Ross by either being in his debt is the mine fails or exerting leverage if copper is discovered.
An eternal optimist is Verity, who proclaims that "a life without hope is bleak." While still longing for Captain Blamey, she is has been the one true friend to Ross and Demelza, in a world of snobbery and gossip.
When all starts to appear bleak, there is a run on pilchards necessary for the fishing community. And suddenly, the announcement comes that "copper has been struck!" For the first time, Ross confesses to Demelza that he loves her and that she has brought him redemption. Her response is to let Ross know that he will soon become a father.
