THE BUCCANEERS Recap: (S02E03) Get Her Out
RELATED: Read our recap of the previous episode of The Buccaneers , 'Holy Grail' The Buccaneers, 'Get Her Out'
We open with Theo (Guy Remmers) confronting Nan (Kristine Frøseth) after he learns about Guy spending the night with her. Theo is understandably — and rightfully — enraged. He demands the truth. Nan quietly admits that Guy was in her bed the night before the wedding. The Dowager (Amelia Bullmore) tries to defuse the tension. Nan also confesses that she needed Theo's title as a cushion of protection for Jinny. After he storms off, the Dowager thanks Nan for not disclosing her participation in this.
Later, we learn it's been three weeks since that explosive revelation upended the Tintagel household. Well, more like upended Theo's life. He hasn't been seen around the castle since. Nan tells the Dowager they should consider canceling Lizzy's birthday bash. The Dowager counters that if they do that, it'll appear to the public that all is not well. They must keep up appearances. If a partygoer asks about Theo, she and Nan will claim he's away on business. A Midsummer Night's Dream
Next, Conchita (Alisha Boe), Richard (Josh Dylan) and Cora (Maria Almeida) are en route to the Tintagel castle. Lizzy's surprise birthday party is A Midsummer Night's Dream -themed, and Conchita and Cora look positively ethereal. They argue about Cora finding a husband. Cora insists that Conchita and Richard aren't the pinnacle of true romance. Excuse you, they're the most stable relationship on this show. On an unrelated note, Richard has a few funny bits in this scene. I'm glad we're seeing more of his personality this season.

Meanwhile, Nan gets ready for the party. As she puts on her fairy wings, she thinks about Guy. We see him (Matthew Broome) briefly brooding in Italy, in all his shirtless, perfectly tousled, beach-curl glory. After this, Nan greets the guests as they arrive at Tintagel. Hector (Jacob Ifan) is nervous. He has a big question to ask Lizzy. Besides that, he tells Nan that her speech at the gala is making waves in the House — in a good way. It's time to strike while the iron is hot. However, he could use the support of the duke, too. THE BUCCANEERS Season 2 Episode 3, 'Get Her Out.' Photo courtesy of Apple TV+
Then, we see Conchita, Mabel (Josie Totah) and Honoria (Mia Threapleton) escort a blindfolded Lizzy (Aubri Ibrag) to the front lawn. They lead her to the location of the party. Surprise! Hector compliments Lizzy and her band of fairies before insisting they all grab drinks. Side note: Lizzy looks stunning in blue. It's her color. He's Gone
Next, Conchita asks Nan about Theo. Where is he? 'He's gone,' Nan whispers. She provides no context, leaving Conchita hanging. Elsewhere, the Dowager reunites with an old friend/lover — Reede Robinson (Greg Wise), Hector's father. Sparks fly. The flames are rekindled. I'm excited to see a mature love story play out this season. They take to the dancefloor.

Lizzy and Mabel's mother, Mrs. Elmsworth (Viss Elliot Safavi), surprises them with her arrival. She meets Hector and expresses excitement about the latter's impending big question. Lizzy finally realizes what this might be.
In Italy, Jinny (Imogen Waterhouse) attempts to purchase food in the market, but her Italian is rusty. Paloma (Grace Ambrose) swoops in and saves the day. She shows Jinny the ropes regarding the art of haggling in the market. Upon returning to the house, Paloma asks Jinny if she comes from money. Jinny tries to deny her wealthy upbringing, but Paloma can spot money from a mile away. Guy enters to find Jinny preparing dinner. He looks skeptical. The Institution Requires an Heir
Later, the Dowager reunites with Theo after his impromptu vacation. He's resolute in remaining at Tintagel now. Theo declares he shouldn't feel ashamed. The Dowager hopes reconciliation between him and Nan is on the horizon. However, Theo is also resolute that he'll never mend fences with Nan. That said, he can't divorce her. The Dowager suggests they send Nan away, but only after she provides Tintagel with an heir.

After this, Theo makes a fashionably late entrance at Lizzy's birthday party. He and Nan share a tense dance. Outside, Lizzy and Mabel take a stroll through the trees before Hector asks Lizzy if she'll go on a walk with him. Mrs. Elmsworth barges in, asking Mabel if she's 'being proper,' maintaining normalcy and trying not to 'bring shame' to the family. Ew. Ick. The homophobia is strong with this one. Thankfully, Mabel responds with her signature incisive wit, effectively putting her mom in her place. THE BUCCANEERS Season 2 Episode 3, 'Get Her Out.' Photo courtesy of Apple TV+
Elsewhere, Hector proposes to Lizzy. It's romantic as hell. She accepts. To be fair, I'd accept a proposal from Jacob Ifan, too. Inside, Cora continues to press Conchita's buttons. At the same time, Reede challenges the Dowager — he reminds her of who she used to be before motherhood and 'the institution' took hold. With Theo now married, surely the Dowager can resume her life? Food Fight
Then, Guy, Jinny and Paloma attempt to eat dinner. As it turns out, Jinny doesn't have an innate flair for the culinary arts. To brighten the mood, Jinny commences a food fight. Our trio laughs as they hurl pasta at each other. How cuh-yoot .

Nan meets Theo in his quarters. She apologizes for it all. He kisses her passionately and urges her to tell him she wants him. Nan obeys. However, Theo pulls away, claiming he can't do this. He was clearly planning to put a baby in Nan before sending her off. Then, he admits that she can't leave Tintagel without producing an heir. Nan wonders if this is per the dreadful institution or his mother. THE BUCCANEERS Season 2 Episode 3, 'Get Her Out.' Photo courtesy of Apple TV+
Meanwhile, Richard flirts with Conchita in front of Cora. It's super hot. It also makes Cora smile. Nan and the Dowager step outside for a confrontation. Nan ain't happy. She accuses the Dowager of throwing her under the bus, of going back on their deal. And guess what? The Tintagel line will end here. She refuses to give Theo a child. Nan storms off. The Dowager, overcome with emotion, glances across the yard to find Reede observing her. Don't Settle for Less
Next, Lizzy excitedly tells Theo about Hector's proposal in the latter's art studio. Theo claims he would be thrilled if it were any other woman. However, he believes Lizzy is extraordinary, and she deserves an extraordinary love, not a safe marriage. Lizzy looks flummoxed.

After this, Lizzy returns to the party. Hector announces his and Lizzy's impending nuptials to the big crowd. The wheels are turning in Lizzy's head. Theo's words undoubtedly had an impact. Meanwhile, Cora apologizes to Conchita. She sees now that Conchita and Richard have a wonderful love story. Conchita admits it wasn't love at first sight, though. When they met, Richard danced with her friend and knocked over a champagne tower. He was awkward and clumsy.
Conchita reveals she should've taken a different approach with Cora. Now, she encourages Cora to think of finding a husband as granting these men the opportunity to spend time with her. No pressure. Cora spots a man wearing yellow socks, which is apparently her thing. Conchita urges Cora to introduce herself, which she does. Richard rejoins Conchita. Conchita muses that perhaps she should pivot with her matchmaking services. Let women find someone they'll truly love. THE BUCCANEERS Season 2 Episode 3, 'Get Her Out.'

That evening, the Dowager and Reede chat about Nan's big move. Obviously, the Tintagel line must continue and thrive. Reede advises the Dowager to change Nan's mind, even if it drives a wedge between her and her son. Even if it means the Dowager and Reede can't be together. Nan must stay here.

After this, Mabel and Honoria chat at the party. They secretly hold hands as Mabel admits she's glad they have each other. Mrs. Elmsworth observes Mabel from afar. She tries to enlist Conchita's services, declaring she'll pay Conchita double her price to find a husband for Mabel. Homophobia strikes again. THE BUCCANEERS Season 2 Episode 3, 'Get Her Out.' Photo courtesy of Apple TV+
Meanwhile, the Dowager discloses the truth to Theo. She put Nan and Theo in this cage of a marriage. The Dowager explains that she found Nan and Guy together in bed. Then, she didn't give Nan a choice. She knew Nan wanted to save Jinny, so she'd need the Tintagel title. The Dowager used her power to force Nan to marry Theo. Theo is hurt. He orders his mom to leave his castle. Running Away for Love
Later, Nan rummages through the Dowager's belongings in her quarters. She finds a missive with Guy and Jinny's address in Italy. A maid stumbles upon Nan's frantic searching, declaring these are the duchess's things. 'I am the duchess!' Nan shouts before leaving.

Lizzy finds Nan after this. Nan plans to leave for Italy that night to reunite with Guy. It's always been Guy. Lizzy admits that Guy sent her a letter, asking about Nan. She withholds the bit about Guy wanting Nan to join him in Italy. Lizzy burned the letter. After asking Nan if she's sure her relationship with Theo is beyond repair, Lizzy encourages her to run to Guy.
Next, Lizzy approaches Theo, who's searching for Nan. Lizzy doesn't divulge the truth about Nan escaping the castle like a thief in the night. She tells Theo that his words in the art studio resonated with her. Perhaps she deserves a thrilling, pulsating, extraordinary love. Theo apologizes for what he said to Lizzy earlier. He wasn't in his right mind. There's nothing wrong with a safe marriage.
Meanwhile, Nan is in a carriage, the letter with Guy and Jinny's address in her hand. She's still in her fairy getup. I wonder how long it'll take her to get to Italy from Cornwall? It's TV magic, so I'm assuming at least in the blink of an eye.

Charli XCX's Post-Wedding Style Is Less Bridal, More Glastonbury
Following her City Hall wedding last weekend, Charli XCX is already back to work. While the singer has a bigger bash scheduled, don't expect her to exhaust bridal whites. Just days after her wedding, Charli traded her Vivienne Westwood minidress for an outfit that could have just as well belonged at Glastonbury. And, in many ways, she took some cues from last month's headlining performance look. For her Day Four set, Charli hit the stage in three multicolored Alexander McQueen skull scarves, rejiggered to make a crop top, which she paired with black leather microshorts, a pair of maroon knee-high boots, and wraparound shades. Joseph Okpako Click News and Media / BACKGRIDUSA Earlier this week, Charli followed a similar outfit formula. She eschewed the scarf top for a black one-shoulder top and draped herself in an ecru pashmina, but stayed loyal to the microshorts in a gray-brown pair with similarly miniature pockets. She also hung onto her knee-high boots, donning a pair of black motos, and wore her large black shades. A noted fan of Anthony Vaccarello, she carried a quilted black Saint Laurent bag. While her style may be leaning more Glasto, Charli XCX still has time to make bridal style bratty before her trip down the aisle.

Christina Aguilera Puts a Gothic Spin on Her Early 2000s Hair and Makeup Combo at ‘Burlesque: The Musical' Photo Call
Christina Aguilera evolved her early 2000s beauty combo into an otherworldy aesthetic for the 'Burlesque: The Musical' photo call in London on Monday night. Instead of the bold, fiery red lipstick she once routinely partnered with her bleach blond hair, the 'Lady Marmalade' vocalist opted for a darker, more sinister lip shade and a stark hair color. Outside the Savoy Theatre, Aguilera's moody makeup consisted of dark brown brows undercut by white-gold shimmer on her lids, lash clusters on the outer corners of her eyes, highlight layered over a purple-toned blush on her cheekbones and a deep wine-colored lipstick that blended seamlessly with her black lip liner. There was a thin stripe of charcoal shimmer under her waterline, bringing out her cool-toned contour on the sides of her face. More from WWD EXCLUSIVE: Revlon Teams With Guy Fieri to Drop a Wing-inspired Lip Balm Named 'Flavortown' How Christina Aguilera's 'Burlesque' Style Has Evolved in 15 Years: From Classic Hollywood Flair to West End Edge Noah Cyrus Channels Amy Winehouse While Joining the Beehive Trend Revival For the most part, Aguilera's hair was its typical bleach blond shade. In certain lights, however, it appeared as if the coloring was tinged with white; her dark roots casting a shadow around her head. Her long tresses were flat-ironed and smoothed down, brushing over the front of her shoulders. Partnered with her murky green ribbon corset gown and black over-the-knee baggy boots, her entire aesthetic settled somewhere between the Evil Witch in 'Snow White' and a rebellious, medieval princess, both a far cry from the soft, old Hollywood-esque glam she donned over the weekend at the 'Burlesque: The Musical' show. Typically, Aguilera will collaborate with makeup artist Etienne Ortega — who also works with Lana Del Rey, Kris Jenner, Mariah Carey and Demi Lovato — and hair architect Igor Rosales; however, it's not confirmed whether either worked with her on this look. Even at the very beginning of her career, with the launch of her debut album in 1999, Aguilera was always a fan of a heavy eye look and prominent lip shade. The cover of her eponymous record saw her pose with ultra-thin brows — a resurging beauty trend now — and black shadow dragged over her lids and under her eyes. Moving into the 2010s, the 'Beautiful' singer centered her persona around her love for red lipstick. Occasionally, she would wear a pale nude color, but it was a rare sighting when she wasn't sporting a vibrant shade. In the years since, she's noticeably leaned into natural makeup trends, wiping away her matte lip for a glossy pink one instead. Aguilera starred in the film version of 'Burlesque' alongside Cher in 2010.
