As someone who enjoyed the first season, but didn’t quite love it as much as some, I was not sure how I would feel about the second season.

But I was absolutely enthralled by the beauty and captivating nature of the stories this season.

The second season which was based on the book The Viscount Who Loved Me, was lovely, utterly romantic, and often poignant.

This season was nothing but a sheer wonder to behold. Here is my definitive ranking of every episode of Season 2.

#8. Episode 5 “An Unthinkable Fate” While this is ranked last, and the one episode where I felt the pacing and plots screech not to a halt but to a much slower pace, I cannot call the episode boring or poor. It simply does not match up to the rest of the season

[{"selector":"#anim-5d791b6c-777c-4c7a-ab72-3b16ae51ed56","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3a9c6b0c-d6c8-4201-8cab-a2206611e4e1","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Gray Frame Corner Gray Frame Corner Learn more

#7. Episode 1 “Capital R in Rake” Simone Ashley recently confirmed that she and Jonathan would be returning for the third season. It’s my hope that they are given a subplot of their own to allow viewers into their lives post-happy ever after.

#6. Episode 6 “The Choice” What makes this episode shine is that it ups the dramatic tension, showcases the depths Kate is willing to go to ensure her sister’s happiness, denying her own heart in the process, until those feelings between her and Anthony are on full display
