Marie is dazzled by Felix's lovemaking and encourages him to ask her father for her hand.

Georgiana Longestaffe, snobbish but desperate to find a husband, arrives in London as a reluctant guest.

Mrs Hurtle says she will release Paul from the engagement if he returns home with his heart still set.

As Paul struggles in Mexico without the funding he needs, Fisker arrives.
