Whenviewers last saw Ruby and James, things were looking up for their relationship. Despite James’s father’s (Fedja Van Huêt) disapproval, the pair reconciled during a magical night at Oxford and seemed bound for a bright romantic future together. Ruby’s dreams of attending the prestigious university also appeared well within reach. However, the season ended with James andhis sister Lydia (Sonja Weißer)learning that their mother had died of a heart attack and the Beaufort patriarch had kept the news from both of them. The tragedy sowed some uncertainty about how the grief and the unfettered influence of James’s father would affect things between the couple, and Hardung even teased that the showwould be taking a darker turn. The Season 2 synopsis and the teaser further confirm that the couple’s situation has changed.
