He shares his bed with July and they have a child together. Caroline finds herself in an unhappy triangle.
Dark clouds hover as the crops need picking and the workers refuse to work on Christmas day. Goodwin shows his nasty side.
This episode sees July altering her power relationship. There is a scene where she sees another lighter skin former slave doing well for herself through marriage. July certainly seems to manipulate Goodwin's feelings towards her.
