THE BUCCANEERS Recap: (S02E07) All Rise
The Buccaneers Season 2 Episode 7, 'All Rise,' is an interesting penultimate outing. While I'd rather Conchita's grieving over Richard's death be a central storyline and not share screen space with the divorce trial, I'm glad we got some resolution for the latter arc. Even better, those overarching narrative bombshells provide a satisfying cliffhanger and a solid jumping-off point for next week's season finale. RELATED: Read our recap of the previous episode of The Buccaneers , 'Every Single Piece of My Heart' The Buccaneers, 'All Rise' We open with Nan (Kristine Frøseth) arriving in New York for her parents' divorce trial. She pulls Lizzy's earring out of her purse, examining it while in her carriage. Nan still doesn't know it belongs to Lizzy. She exits the carriage to a bevy of journalists and those simply curious about said trial. Inside the courtroom, Patti (Christina Hendricks) tells those in attendance why she's petitioning for divorce from Tracy (Adam James). He's a philanderer. An adulterer. Nan enters the courtroom to barely suppressed gasps. She smiles at her mother. The judge informs Patti that a claimant may be granted a divorce if there's proof of adultery. In London, Conchita (Alisha Boe) takes Minnie to the park. Meanwhile, the Dowager Brightlingsea (Fenella Woolgar) and Honoria (Mia Threapleton) sit with a lord and lady who wish to pay their respects regarding Richard's death. Brightlingsea looks annoyed that Conchita is late. Dressed in Black Lizzy (Aubri Ibrag) and Jinny (Imogen Waterhouse) greet Conchita and Minnie upon their arrival home. Conchita ignores Jinny. We learn that it's been six weeks since the funeral, and Richard's memorial service is the next day. Conchita won't give Jinny the time of day. Lizzy reassures Jinny that Conchita loves her. They all do. Brightlingsea urges the pair to persuade Conchita to wear the proper mourning color — black — to the service. RELATED: 10 Questions We Need Answered in The Buccaneers Season 2 Next, the court takes a recess. Nan embraces her mom. Nell (Leighton Meester), Nan's biological mother, is also there. She's very pregnant. Patti reassures Nan that they have a fighting chance. Two women are willing to testify against Tracy as evidence of his cheating. THE BUCCANEERS Season 2 Episode 7, 'All Rise' — Photo courtesy of Apple TV+ Once court resumes, Patti returns to the stand. Tracy's attorney cross-examines her, asking who was responsible for Nan and Jinny's upbringing. When she admits she was, the lawyer besmirches Jinny's name by blaming the latter for Seadown killing Richard. Before this scene, we learned that Seadown is effectively behind bars for murder. Well, hopefully for good, but knowing this show, he'll inexplicably break free somehow. Placing Blame Next, the attorney inquires about Patti and Tracy's sex life. Did Patti do all she could to keep her husband's eyes from wandering? Patti reveals she usually initiated the act by sitting on his lap. He excuses Tracy's adultery as simply a man with insatiable appetites. Ew. Then, the aforementioned two women decide against testifying. RELATED: 7 Questions We'll Never Get Answered in The Great Season 4 Later, Nan meets Arthur (Anthony Welsh), Nell's husband. He doesn't know the truth about Nan being Nell's biological daughter, assuming Nell is merely Nan's aunt. Nan admits it's too bad that her bio mom isn't alive; otherwise, her testimony would be solid evidence of Tracy's philandering. She clearly knows about Nell. Then, Conchita and Minnie get ready for bed as Conchita tells her daughter about the impending memorial service for Richard. Conchita hasn't shed a tear since the initial shock of learning about Richard's murder. She's trying to carry on for Minnie. At the same time, Nell and Patti have a chat. Nell offers to testify if that'll help Patti win her case. Patti refuses to subject Nell to that. She Changed Her Mind The following day, everyone files into Richard's alma mater for the memorial service. Theo (Guy Remmers) reunites with Lizzy, and they make googly eyes at each other. Upstairs, Reede (Greg Wise) and Blanche/the Dowager of Tintagel (Amelia Bullmore) offer their condolences to Honoria and Dowager Brightlingsea. Theo and Blanche lock eyes. RELATED: Read our Bridgerton recaps Next, Nan presses the hypothetical of her 'dead' biological mom taking the stand. Of course, she wants Patti and Nell to admit the truth. At the service, Reede sits beside Hector (Jacob Ifan). Hector reveals that his and Lizzy's wedding won't be rescheduled. It's over. Then, Hector sees Theo touch Lizzy's arm. The interaction gives him pause. He's putting two and two together. THE BUCCANEERS Season 2 Episode 7, 'All Rise' — Photo courtesy of Apple TV+ Tracy approaches Nan during a recess. He apologizes for the 'circus' that this all entails. Nan remains tight-lipped. He asks her about Jinny. Nan replies that Jinny wanted to attend the trial to support Patti. Oh, she's done with Tracy's sh*t. Grief Looks Different on Everyone Meanwhile, Conchita arrives at the memorial service. She wears dark green, much to Brightlingsea's annoyance. Conchita gives Minnie to a maid, who takes the child to another room. As the service begins, we see the unveiling of a plaque in Richard's honor as the 4th Marquess of Brightlingsea. Minnie cries incessantly in the other room. Conchita leaves to comfort her. Brightlingsea tries to get her to stay. She voices her hope that Conchita or Minnie would know how to 'grieve properly.' RELATED: Geek Girl Authority Crush of the Week: The Buccaneers ' Lizzy Elmsworth Conchita calls Brightlingsea out for this. There is no proper way to grieve. She then addresses the service attendees, asserting that Richard would hate this. He loathed this school. A simple plaque doesn't do Richard justice. And there's no way Richard would be 'called home' to Heaven after such a short time on Earth. No divine being would allow that. Love a good mic drop moment. Then, Jinny chases down Conchita outside the service. Jinny asks who Conchita blames for Richard's murder. Conchita's not a fan of having this conversation now, but here we are. She doesn't blame Jinny for pulling the trigger, but she blames Jinny in that every time she looks at the latter, she's reminded of what she lost. Jinny tells Conchita she loves her. THE BUCCANEERS Season 2 Episode 7, 'All Rise' — Photo courtesy of Apple TV+ The Truth Later, Nan testifies against her father. She states she idolized him as a child, but now she only feels shame. Nan admits to the court that Patti isn't her biological mother. Tracy's lawyer wonders if Tracy is even her real dad. Tracy claims that all evidence connecting him as her biological father — such as a birth certificate — is gone. What a turd. RELATED: Read our Dickinson recaps Next, Nan reunites with Guy (Matthew Broome). Their reunion mirrors their second meeting on the stairs during Conchita and Richard's wedding in the pilot episode. It's cute. Guy claims he didn't want Nan to face all this alone. After this, Nan finally has a private conversation with Nell. Nell discloses the truth: she's Nan's biological mother. Nan wonders why Nell doesn't take the stand in defense of Patti. She calls Nell out for being selfish. Then, Nell reads Nan the riot act. She reminds Nan that the latter doesn't know her. Nell has lived longer and harder than Nan. Admittedly, Nan needed someone to screw her head on straight. Yes, she's young, but Nell was younger when she had Nan. Nell insists the best thing she did for Nan was not to make her the 'child of a slut.' THE BUCCANEERS Season 2 Episode 7, 'All Rise' — Photo courtesy of Apple TV+ A Most Extraordinary Woman Elsewhere, Conchita brings desserts to Jinny's room. She and Jinny mend fences as they share these sweet treats with Freddie. The following day in New York, Nan and Guy take a stroll through the park. They chat about plates, among other things. One woman asks Nan if she's the duchess, to which she and Guy lie, claiming Nan bears a striking resemblance to said duchess. RELATED: Geek Girl Authority Crush of the Week: The Buccaneers ' Conchita Marable That evening, in her bedchamber, Nell decides to divulge the truth to her husband. She's risking her marriage to Arthur by telling him about Nan. Then, Honoria gives Conchita Richard's childhood pig toy and a letter he wrote to her about Conchita. Conchita encourages her sister-in-law to live her life. Richard wanted Honoria to escape the Dowager Brightlingsea's clutches. He wanted her to achieve her dreams. After this, Conchita reads the letter from Richard to Honoria. We hear him narrate (Josh Dylan) as he tells his sister that he met the most extraordinary woman. We see a montage of images chronicling Conchita and Richard's love story from the pilot episode to this season. Ugh. I'm still so angry that this show destroyed its best — and consistently healthiest — couple. That said, Alisha Boe is acting her ass off in this episode. She Wins In New York, Nan, Patti and Nell prepare to head to the courthouse for the trial. Nell reveals that Arthur won't join them. She tries to crack jokes while Nan looks at her, stony-faced. Outside Tintagel, Theo finds his mother waiting for him. Blanche apologizes for not returning home sooner. Theo asks why Blanche didn't take up with Reede after his dad passed away. Blanche admits she only had room for one man in her life — Theo. They mend fences. RELATED: 15 Song Covers We Want to Hear on Bridgerton Inside the courtroom, Tracy urges Patti to drop the case. He can make it all go away. Things can return to some semblance of normalcy. Patti stands her ground, though. Then, in a surprise twist to the court, Nell takes the stand. She confesses to being Nan's biological mom and provides evidence of her encounter with Tracy, including a hotel receipt and letters. The judge looks over them. Arthur enters the courtroom to support his wife. THE BUCCANEERS Season 2 Episode 7, 'All Rise' — Photo courtesy of Apple TV+ Next, Nan, Patti and Nell exit the courthouse to a chorus of cheers from onlookers. Patti won her case. She can divorce Tracy. Guy reunites with our crew. Patti thanks him for taking care of her girls. Tracy approaches them, insisting they'll never see him again. They'll also never get a penny of his money again. Oh, however will they cope? Patti tells Nan she wants to see Jinny. Be Brave and Impetuous Back in England, Honoria approaches Brightlingsea in the sitting room while the others chat. She tells her mom of her intention to live her life. Honoria is going to France to teach. Brightlingsea is incredulous. Honoria claims she'll surprise her mother with how much she's changed. Brightlingsea counters that Honoria has never surprised her. RELATED: Read our recaps of The Buccaneers Then, Honoria marches up to Mabel and kisses her. Conchita, Lizzy and Jinny cheer them on. Brightlingsea does, indeed, look surprised. Mabel tells Honoria she's proud of her. Honoria smiles in a triumphant mic drop moment before leaving the room.

Patti reunites with Jinny and meets her grandson, Freddie. Nan notices Lizzy's other earring on a bureau. She asks Mabel to whom it belongs. Mabel informs her that it's Lizzy's. Uh-oh. As the icing on the cake, Paloma (Grace Ambrose) arrives on the Marables' doorstep from Italy. Guy introduces Paloma to Nan as … his wife. So, Nan learned that Lizzy had an affair with Theo and that Guy got married. The season finale should be fun. The Buccaneers drops new episodes every Wednesday on Apple TV+.

How Legacy Brands Can Stay Relevant and Thrive
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Barbie just had a billion-dollar year. DeLorean is back in production — but in truth, it never really left, with decades of cultural presence, strong collectible car sales and ongoing IP licensing deals. Vintage Levi's now sell for more than new pairs. Yet, nearly 88% of Fortune 500 companies from 1955 are no longer in existence. What separates the legacy brands that thrive from those that die? Why do some brands become cultural artifacts, while others reinvent themselves for every new era? The answer is more than nostalgia. Brands that endure do so by turning legacy into leverage, blending cultural capital with innovation and infrastructure. Those that fail, like Blockbuster and Nokia, cling to what worked in the past, missing the signals of changing consumer behaviors and technological shifts. For entrepreneurs, the lesson isn't just to "innovate or die;" it's to innovate with intention. Here's how to make legacy work for you. Whether you're reviving a classic or building a brand from scratch, there are valuable lessons from business's greatest legacy revivals. Related: Commitment to Innovation Is How Legacy Companies Stay Agile Storytelling + change: The power of evolving relevance Storytelling and cultural capital can spark powerful comebacks when paired with real innovation. Mattel's 2023 Barbie film demonstrates this perfectly. While Barbie had always carried "proto feminist" messages, providing accessories for independent careers, the brand faced growing criticism for promoting unachievable beauty standards and materialism. The movie deliberately confronted these criticisms head-on, transforming Barbie from a symbol of superficial perfection into a nuanced exploration of modern womanhood, addressing issues ranging from workplace contradictions to body image pressures. The result? A $1.4 billion global box office, a 14% spike in Barbie sales and a 25% surge in U.S. doll purchases, proving that authentic narrative evolution can drive both cultural relevance and measurable business results. To replicate this success, company owners must first determine who the new audiences they want to connect with are and then candidly consider how their current brand narrative may be hindering that growth. The key is to retain the elements that make your brand stand out, while also adapting your narrative to appeal to today's values and desires. Related: How This CEO Breathed Life Into a 75-Year-Old California Ice Cream Brand Without Losing Its Nostalgic Identity How legacy brands turn story into ongoing value A compelling story alone won't sustain legacy brands. Today's consumers expect authenticity, transparency and the ability to do more with their purchases. This presents an opportunity for legacy brands due to their rich narrative foundations that newer brands often lack. When consumers buy into a legacy brand, they're investing in decades or centuries of story, which creates endless possibilities for products that offer layered experiences, extended engagement and deeper meaning beyond the initial purchase. For instance, Breitling now issues blockchain-based digital passports for every timepiece, enabling buyers to track the provenance and service history of their timepieces. This offers an inroad into a luxury resale market projected to hit $51.7 billion by 2026. In the automotive world, DeLorean's digital comeback isn't just about reviving an iconic cinematic car. By utilizing blockchain to facilitate token-based reservations and a digital resale marketplace, DeLorean is transforming customers into long-term participants, rather than one-time buyers. This mirrors broader trends, such as Levi's launching its SecondHand platform to attract new, younger audiences, 60% of whom are first-time Levi's buyers. Digital tools can also unlock new modes of community and engagement that weren't possible in previous eras. What used to be a one-way relationship (brand to buyer) is evolving into a participatory ecosystem. Discord servers with tens of thousands of contributors, tradable digital assets and smart contract-enabled memberships are creating communities that don't just consume — they co-create, speculate and advocate. In the case of DeLorean, digital collectibles and token-based access have allowed a new generation, often discovering the brand through parents or pop culture references, to build their own version of brand affinity, grounded in real-time interaction and ownership. Building for the future: When to lean in, when to break out Alongside updating your story and creating layered product experiences, the final challenge is building infrastructure that can sustain your revival in the long term. This isn't just about getting the latest tech; it's about making strategic choices that position your legacy brand for decades, not just years. The path forward is less about following a rigid playbook and more about making smart decisions at key junctures. If your brand evokes strong emotions or nostalgia, lean in: Reinforce your story, but update it for today's channels and consumer behaviors. If your legacy models are holding you back from meeting new needs or adopting necessary technology, break from them: Pilot new products, channels or business models, as Levi's did with its SecondHand platform. The most successful revivals invest in flexible systems from the start. This means selecting technology platforms that can evolve, developing customer data capabilities that grow in tandem with your brand and establishing operational processes that scale without compromising the brand's authenticity. It also means preparing for the next shift, whether that's new social platforms, changing shopper behaviors or emerging technologies that could either threaten or enhance your relevance. Related: Building on the Past, Leading into the Future: The Evolving Role of Legacy Business Leaders Keep building Legacy isn't just something you inherit; it's something you build every day. The brands that will define the next decade won't be the ones with the best stories about their past; they'll be the ones building the most authentic and engaging experiences for their future. What unites all successful revivals is a simple truth: Culture pulls people in, but execution keeps them there. Whether you're reviving a dormant icon or building from scratch, success comes from evolving your narrative for modern relevance, creating experiences that extend far beyond the initial transaction, and building infrastructure that can adapt and scale without losing what made you special in the first place. In a world where legacy is both your greatest asset and your biggest liability, the question isn't whether you can afford to evolve — it's whether you can afford not to. The brands that understand this don't just come back; they come back stronger, more relevant and better positioned for whatever comes next.

30 Major League Teams Spend Record $392.5 Million On 2025 Draft Picks
Baseball is a game of records, though the modern fan seems to focus less on in-game production and more on extravagant paychecks. The 30 MLB teams didn't disappoint this month by breaking numerous spending records on their 2025 draft picks. They doled out a record $392,533,711 in signing bonuses for drafted players, $18.2 million more than the $374,345,077 paid a year ago. Even the Cleveland Guardians, considered among the most cost-conscious clubs, set a spending record according to Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline. They paid $4 million to first-round choice Jace Laviolette, a slugging outfielder from Texas A&M. That was about $618,000 over what MLB set as a $3.382 million recommended slot value for the No. 27 choice. It was a surprising anomaly this year as only two other clubs went over the slot blueprint in the first round. Clubs more than made up for it by paying out higher values to lower picks. A year ago, Cleveland held the No. 1 pick and paid Oregon State second baseman Travis Bazzana a team-record $8.95 million. That was below the MLB slot value of $10,570,600. A few other significant monetary marks were established. Baltimore's Bundle The Orioles had their own choice at No. 19. They received pick No. 30 as compensation for losing free agent pitcher Corbin Burnes to the Arizona Diamondbacks and No. 31 for losing free agent outfielder Anthony Santander to the Toronto Blue Jays. They acquired pick No. 37 from the Tampa Bay Rays in a trade for reliever Bryan Baker on July 10. Baltimore picked hard-hitting Auburn catcher Ike Irish at No. 19. His slot value was $4,420,900 and he got $4,418,400, The team claimed the $2,500 difference as a contingency bonus, meaning that amount could be saved in their overall bonus pool to be used elsewhere. Next, the Orioles took Coastal Carolina catcher Caden Bodine 30th and paid him exact slot value of $3,113,300. The switch hitter is considered an elite defender as well. The club is considering switching Irish to the outfield. One pick later, Baltimore took power-hitting Arkansas shortstop Wehiwa Aloy and paid exact slot $3,042,800. They rounded out their early cache by paying $4 million to Oregon high school outfielder Slater de Brun at No. 37. That was well above the $2,631,400 slot value for the 37th choice, but the team did it to keep him from honoring his signing commitment to play college ball at Vanderbilt. National Treasures High school shortstop Eli Willits was the surprise No. 1 pick by the Washington Nationals. The financial figures of his signing are somewhat surprising, too. The slot value was $11,075,900. He got $8,200,000, a record for a prep player before Holliday broke it. But Willits' agreeing to take less probably was a factor in being picked ahead of Holliday and other highly ranked prospects. Washington took the money 'saved' and spent it on three other prep players. Third-round choice Landon Harmon, a pitcher, and fifth-rounder Coy James, a shortstop, each got $2.5 million. Fourth-rounder Miguel Sime, a pitcher from Brooklyn, N.Y., got $2 million. Those deals were all well above slot value. Signing Them All Increased spending has helped MLB teams become more proficient than ever at signing their pick. This year, 576 of 615 draftees signed. That 93.7% rate is the highest for a regular draft. Only the Covid 19 pandemic-shortened five-round 2020 draft was better, when all 160 picks signed. How good was that 100 percent signing rate at nabbing players who made it to the Major League level? Here are the percentages and best players thus far: Sixty Years Ago The first MLB Draft was held in 1965 and 65% (13 of 20) of the first-round picks made it to MLB, led by No. 1 choice Rick Monday of the Oakland Athletics. He signed for $100,000. The 36th choice overall, by the Cincinnati Reds in the second round, was a high school catcher from Oklahoma – Hall of Famer Johnny Bench. He signed for $6,000. The Los Angeles Dodgers took Tom Seaver in the 10th round, but the future Hall of Famer asked for $50,000. The Dodgers offered $3,000, so he stayed at Southern Cal and was picked by the Atlanta Braves at No. 20 overall in the January 1966 draft. Seaver signed for $40,000, but the contract was ruled illegal as his college team had already begun playing that year. That was against MLB rules, but he could not go back to USC, either, after signing a pro deal. MLB ruled that any team other than Atlanta could submit offers of at least $40,000 with the winner literally being picked out of a hat. The Cleveland Indians, Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets submitted bids. The Mets' bid was picked and Seaver got $51,000. What surprises are in store among players picked in the 2025 MLB Draft? Since only 615 players were chosen, it will not produce another surprise like Mike Piazza. The slugging catcher is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 1988, he was selected in the 62nd found – No. 1,390 overall – by the Dodgers.
