But after narrowly escaping Gamble following his sloppy attempt to dispose of Rev.

Worthington, the injured American stumbles toward the country cabin of Sarah Livingston.

After the first night, however, Sarah still has her guard up.

The crucifix seems to confirm his lie, and Sarah relaxes.

So it didnt feel forced when they kiss the next night and spend the night together.

(Or perhaps she simply hopes he has torush home to clean his andirons!)

Sarahs husband was murdered by American soldiers who forcibly took his crops.

Ben even recalls the military order that justified their crime.

I never want to see your face again, she tells Ben after Gambles posse leaves.

Back in Setauket, Edmund Hewlett is fielding an even weaker game in his doomed engagement to Anna Strong.

NEXT: Anna tries to save Hewlett with a cruel kindness.

Abe also is sent spinning by his true loves decision to marry the enemy.

Like you did, she returns, referring to his obligatory marriage to his dead brothers fiancee, Mary.

Game, set, match: Anna.

But her cutting comment is also the best justification yet for her romance with Hewlett.

She became more available to Hewletts affection only after Abe and Mary rededicated themselves to their marriage.

Instead, Abes reaction is cold and cruel, revealing a man she can hardly recognize.

But her wedding is not to be.

Judge interrupts before the I-dos to accuse Anna of forging Selahs divorce papers.

He promised to take care of me.

He convinced me to lie.

Said no one would notice.

True to Anna to the end, Hewlett admits to the lie.

I had hoped to embrace this new world, says Hewlett, in parting.

But it seems the romance, as always, was one-sided.

With a final clothesline signal to Caleb, Anna leaves Setauket, perhaps for good.

Will Caleb reunite her with Selah?

Will she ever return to the story?

In for a penny, in for a pound, Benedict.

Hearing him strain to say the word March to Abigail was the second saddest moment of the episode.

Hes not alone for long, drawing the attention of his onetime sexual plaything, Philomena.

Did something happen in Philadelphia?

she asks and then draws the correct conclusion.

Imagine that: a woman stealing John Andres well-guarded heart.

But some semi-passionate lovemaking cant distract Andre from his aching heart.

Its all about the hair.

Three beautiful women, five lost boys.

Perhaps the men will win and lose the war, but the women might be the real field generals.
