'Sanditon' Recap: Episode 4
In all honesty, we probably should have known that there was no way that Sanditon was going to just let us watch Charlotte Heywood and Sidney Parker banter adorably for the rest of the season and live happily ever after following their genuine moment of connection last week. Oh no, dear reader, there are still five episodes of this show left, which means we need to find a roadblock of some type that keeps our designated OTP from the happiness they both want and deserve.
What is a surprise is how dark and awful this particular setback for their nascent love story turns out to be, as by the end of this hour it seems as though they’re more at odds than they’ve ever been before, with no real resolution in sight. Because it turns out that Sidney may well be a racist slavery apologist? Such a racist, in fact, that he’s content to profit off the work of those in bondage, though we’re not entirely sure exactly how that may or may not work just yet.
Y I K E S.
