His penchant for women and his skill with explosives caught James’s eye, who made use of his skills for the final battle. The maverick chemist and con-artist played by Tom Hollander gave his alliance to Delaney’s cause earlier in the season and stuck around as something of a fan favourite. Perhaps one of the more shocking moments lay in Cholmondeley’s explosive injuries. The season one finale focused on the bloody battle between James’s crew and the redcoats, a messy and violent affair that took place at the London docks and resulted in several deaths. Tom Hardy himself even highlighted in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that, “The key really is Colonnade”.
It’s also possible that Colonnade might serve as an ally to James and help him establish his trades, or perhaps prove himself useful within the treaty of Nootka Sound.Īll we know for sure at this stage is that Colonnade is at the forefront of James’s mind going into the next season. One fan theory, based on an earlier conversation between Lorna and the Countess, seems to revolve around the idea that Colonnade might be another figure in the network of spies that are in communication with America. It left fans wondering: who is the mysterious Colonnade, and what does he mean to James? Although it wasn’t the first time the strange name had been dropped into conversation during the season, it still didn’t leave any certainty about the identity of the man who James seeks.
However, James mysteriously tells him that he needs to travel to Azores, Portugal, where he needs to find a man named Colonnade. When James sets sail at the end of the series, Atticus thinks they might be heading towards America. The end of season one left audiences with something of a cliffhanger. But if James doesn’t buy it, then we don’t either. Whether he believes this out of some strange sibling connection or from the depths of the romantic undertones that lay between the two throughout the show, we aren’t sure. When talking with Horaces’s wife Lorna Bow ( Jessie Buckley), he tells her that he would have felt her death had it been real. But James doesn’t seem to think that this is the case. We see Zilpha step onto the ledge of a bridge and fling herself over the edge. Thrown into a depressed haze, she writes James a final letter and, at the end of the first season, throws herself into the Thames. When she expects James to embrace her into his life, she is shaken and disappointed when he instead rejects her.
Season one brings a ghastly twist to Zilpha’s story as she murders her husband with a hairpin during the night.
(After all, this is Tom Hardy we’re talking about.) She also struggles with becoming pregnant, a fact which enrages her husband who humiliates and shames Zilpha for her inner desires. Suffering at the hands of a stern and abusive husband, Zilpha spent season one desperate to reconnect with James, constantly being thwarted by her husband’s reluctance to let her interact with her half-brother.Īlthough she is married, Zilpha cannot repress her feelings for James. The estranged daughter of Horace Delaney and James’s half-sister, Zilpha Delaney (Oona Chaplin) was thrown by the sudden reappearance of James, who she had long believed to be dead.
