Season 2 recap
At the end of season two, the tables turned as Robert, not Frances, seemed reluctant to let go completely. But after a painful last kiss, they go their separate ways. Frances seems determined to build up her gallery again. She has to gear up for a new beginning and let go of her family since Robert is gone, and also allow her kids to go to Italy because she knows that two months in an Italian villa will be a more valuable than summer spent with her in Hastings. The last we see of her is on the trampoline, all alone.
