This takes place not long after her first, secret kiss with Anthony – and the conclusion of a rather disappointing triangle storyline with her sister Edwina (Charithra Chandran), partly diverging from the novels by Julia Quinn.Ī chance encounter in the garden leads to a steamy sequence when Kate and Anthony's bickering pulls them closer. 'Harmony' gifts fans with one of the most daring sequences of the entire show, and, crucially, it's told from Kate's point of view.
Significantly, this long-awaited sequence exceeds expectations with its accurate depiction of female pleasure. It is perhaps sexier, although Kate and Anthony's sexual tension isn't released fully until around the 50-minute mark in episode seven.
Comparisons with the racier first chapter – focused on Daphne's (Phoebe Dynevor) sexual awakening – feel almost inevitable, but season two isn't as prudish as it may appear at first.
