Life goes on; everyone quietly shuns Ray, so Emily has to go and cute her way through the grocer and whatever else. During one of her trips, she makes the acquaintance of the gent who took over the big house. He’s James Purefoy! Despite not seeming to like him much, she agrees, probably because it’s hard to turn down this hot slice of beefcake. He promises her a grand life in their house overlooking the…someplace (maybe the sea, but what the hell do I know). He promises to shower her with presents and treat her like a queen!

The series begins by introducing the audience to Emily Kennedy, who lives in a small village in Northumberland. Emily is the daughter of a poor miner who struggles to make ends meet. At a young age, Emily is forced to leave school and work as a servant in a wealthy family's home. Instead of flowing with the tides of easy and difficult, joyous and sorrowful, it is as if we decided that the tide coming in is good and the tide going out is bad, and we completely ignore the fact that it wouldn’t work if the tide always came in – the land would flood, crops would die, and we’d have wet feet all the time! We fail to see that after the tide goes out, it gathers up wonderful gifts from the sea, like beautiful shells, water-carved logs, rich communities of seaweed, and on its return, it deposits them on the shore. The same is true with your life.
