Sam hears that Lady Sandwich has arrived at his house, but is embarrassed to find her using the chamber pot in the dining room. With Kris Marshall and Katherine Jakeways.

Sam's old jealousy returns. At home with a cold, he stops Elizabeth going to Church alone in case she sees her old dancing master, Mr Pembleton. The moment he's better, of course, he's out looking for his mistress, Mrs Lane. Elizabeth finally discovers why Sam's uncle has been so interested in her - and Sam is severely embarrassed when he walks in on Lady Sandwich using the chamber pot.
