Just like that, secrets are out. Although they’re not all completely out in the open just yet in The Buccaneers season 2, episode 7.
Caution: This post contains SPOILERS for The Buccaneers season 2, episode 7.
It’s the penultimate episode of The Buccaneers season 2, and that means a lot of drama. Some of it is just teased for the finale, especially when it comes to Nan and Hector both learning something about their significant others.
Nan’s mom faces the divorce court in The Buccaneers season 2, episode 7
It all starts with Nan returning to New York, where she supports Patty in the divorce hearing. Patty is strong on the witness stand, but Tracy’s bullish lawyer makes it so that no other woman wants to testify and subject herself to his line of questioning.
So, Nan decides that she’ll take the stand. She knows that she’s not the legitimate daughter of Patty and Tracy, so that should give Patty the evidence that she needs. It doesn’t work out so well, as Tracy’s lawyer insinuates that Nan isn’t even his biological daughter.
The only person that Patty can turn to is her sister Nell, but she doesn’t want to do that. Nell has married an amazing man and is expecting a child with him, and Patty doesn’t want Nell to risk all of that. After Nan points out how selfish Nell is being and that it’s time for Nell to risk things, she decides to talk to her husband and then takes the stand. The judge gets all the evidence that he needs from letters to receipts.
Patty is granted her divorce, and fortunately, Nell did find a good man and he’s proud of her for standing up for what was right. This is a victory for the two sisters and for women in New York who are suffering similar fates. Divorce can happen!
Conchita faces the loss of her husband in The Buccaneers
Meanwhile, the people of London are mourning the loss of Dickie. Conchita is struggling, but not as you would think. She is trying to keep Dickie’s memory alive for Minnie, and it’s such a beautiful thing.
So, as Dickie’s mom attempts to argue that Conchita isn’t handling the situation properly while at the memorial, Conchita argues back in front of everyone. She makes it clear that God hasn’t called her husband to Heaven, because what husband would do something like that?
After that, Jinny faces Conchita to apologize, but Conchita makes it clear that she doesn’t want to speak with her. She blames Jinny for Dickie’s death, as it was her husband who murdered him—a husband who is behind bars, which is great news. Conchita does eventually apologize to Jinny, and Jinny accepts because she understands Conchita’s anger. There’s nothing wrong with that anger, as it’s needed to complete the grieving process.
There is a beautiful moment at the end for Conchita as Honoria gives her a letter Dickie wrote in the summer that they met. He had immediately fallen for her, and with the flashbacks, we can see it. I'm going to miss this couple.
In the end, the two make up, as we see them with Mabel and Lizzy when Honoria finally confronts her mother. She is going to Paris and she wants to be silly. When her mother says that there’s nothing Honoria can do to surprise her, Honoria goes over to Mabel and kisses her in front of everyone.
Secrets are out for everyone
In the buildup to the fight at the memorial, Hector tells his father that the wedding is off. It seems that Lizzy has changed her mind, and that’s when he sees the way Theo touches Lizzy’s back. Hector knows that something is going on between the two of them.
He isn’t the only one, as Nan has figured out who the earring belongs to. Of course, Mabel has no idea that Lizzy was in Theo’s bed, and Lizzy has no idea she lost the earring in the house, so Mabel innocently tells Nan that Lizzy is looking everywhere for the other earring. The earring that Nan now has!
The end of the episode brings the biggest secret of them all. Nan is just trying to be happy with Guy, but that’s not going to be easy. Paloma turns up in The Buccaneers season 2, episode 7. At least Guy doesn’t beat around the bush and the two just share that they’re married.
The Buccaneers season 2 finale will air on Wednesday, Aug. 6 on Apple TV+.
