But I thought you had the decency to leave her in the grave.” This is the episode where Demelza transforms from “the miner’s daughter who got lucky” to the moral center of the entire series. She doesn’t leave Ross (not yet), but she draws an invisible line in the dirt of Nampara cottage. From this point on, she watches him like a hawk.
