The Buccaneers – Season 2 Episode 3 'Get Her Out' Recap & Review
Episode 3 of The Buccaneers season 2 starts with Theo reeling after the bombshell reveal about Guy. Nan eventually concedes that yes, she did sleep with Guy the night before their wedding.
Nan explains she was going to run away but also why it was necessary to go through with the marriage. She needed to secure his title so she could protect her sister. The Dowager Duchess stays quiet this whole time, listening, as Nan intentionally doesn't include her involvement.
Theo leaves the castle, having not been seen for a while, although that doesn't deter the current plan for a Midsummer Night's Dream party to go ahead. This is all for Lizzy of course, who's taken aback when she learns the news that Theo has gone.
However, that shock soon spirals when she finds out her mum, Lavinia, has shown up. She's not been around for months and Lizzy is not particularly happy. Thankfully, her happiness soon returns when Hector takes her away for a walk. He wants to be with her and asks her to marry him. She agrees and it's good news for them all round.
Conchita and her sister butt heads over the idea of romance. Cora doesn't think her sister is happy in her marriage but Conchita reminds her that there's more to romance than just stroking hair and reciting poetry.
At the party later on in the episode, Cora comes clean that she's worried she may not find romance. She wants her happily-ever-after and with her parents putting pressure on her finding love, Conchita actually gives her sister some good advice. Specifically, in just giving someone her time. That eventually does come from a guy wearing yellow socks – one of Cora's quirks.
Conchita decides that she should set up a matchmaking service to bring power back into the arms of women so they can choose a partner instead. Well, be careful what you wish for; Lavinia offers to pay her double to help out Mabel's 'instincts' and to set her on the right path.
With most of her friends off matchmaking, Mabel remains a rebel, especially in the wake of her mother worried about her not being 'normal'. I mean, normal is overrated anyway, embrace the weird quirks!
Meanwhile, Jinny is approached by an Italian friend at the market when she tries to haggle and speak Italian. He brings her back home, where she joins a surprised Guy as Jinny starts to cook for him. It's not cooked particularly well though, with the steaks very much well done. Guy jokes that this is a 'glorious feast', until they end up in a food fight.
Back to the party, the Duke returns. Theo is not going to hide and has decided he's going to end the marriage. He wants her out of the castle, given her betrayal and conspiracy. The Duchess agrees to his wishes… but believes they need to secure an heir first.
Theo tries to just throw himself into the lust but without the feelings behind it, he struggles. He eventually tells her she can leave… but only after they've had children. Nan is pissed and confronts the Dowager, pointing out that the marriage that she's trapped her in, alongside the hard-fought title, will die with them.
However, Reede Robinson, whom the Dowager had been getting along well with earlier in the episode, seemingly overhears all this. Now, Reede and the Dowager have a history together, given they used to be rebels, but it seems he knows more than he's letting on.
We need more drama here though so Theo suddenly switches and tells Lizzy how extraordinary she is. He thinks that her being with Hector is a waste and suddenly starts pining for her.
As for Nan, she shows up in the office and finds a whole bunch of letters from Guy and Jinny. The Dowager has clearly been keeping these from her and she's not particularly happy.
The Dowager speaks to Theo after and explains that he found Guy and Nan together the night before the wedding. She sticks up for Nan and tells him it's not her fault. The Dowager forced her into this and explains that both are trapped in a cage equally. He's pissed and forces her out the castle.
The Episode Review
Oh dear, things are not looking good for Nan and Theo are they? With Theo finding out the truth about Guy, Nan is put in a difficult position as it seems she needs to secure an heir for the castle before she's even allowed to leave.
However, things are made that much more complicated when it seems Theo is now pining for Lizzy. Where did this come from? Was there any indication this was the case prior to this episode?
Meanwhile, Conchita is put in a difficult position as it seems she's going to have to 'work on' Mabel, although the drama involving Cora at least has a decent little ending.
This season has a lot of manufactured drama and I guess that's per the course for this show at this point. Whether the series can step up beyond that though is anybody's guess at this point.

Dave Hughes reveals why he almost got into a fistfight with a fan who called him HITLER at Wimbledon
Dave Hughes has revealed he almost 'got into a punch on' with an 'entitled English wanker' while watching an Aussie star win his second-round match at Wimbledon. The comedian and his teenage son Rafferty were taking in Jordan Thompson's match at one of the All England Club's outer courts on Wednesday night, Australian time, when the trouble kicked off. 'Three rows of seating on Court 15, within metres of the players, tense fifth set, and this English bloke would not stop loudly talking to his friend as if he was down at his local boozer,' Hughes wrote on Instagram. 'When I eventually told him to pipe down, he was livid, real 'how dare you tell me what to do you Aussie scum' vibe. 'He called me 'Little Hitler'. But after a long, very tense back and forth, he zipped it and everyone was happy, except him.' The 54-year-old elaborated on the incident in a video featuring his son. 'There was this English bloke behind us, just would not shut up, right through the match,' he said. 'Eventually I said, can you just be quiet ... everyone around us was happy that I did it. 'What is it with entitled English wankers?' Hughes and his son got a real treat when they watched Thompson's match - apart from the English fan. The Aussie came into Wimbledon with a large box of painkillers, a thick black brace for his back, and a crazy dream that somehow he would defy his badly injured body long enough to make an impact at the tournament he loves so much. Two titanic five-set matches later, the hirsute Sydneysider is still standing on the green lawns of SW19, just. With Davis Cup captain Lleyton Hewitt, the last Australian man to win at Wimbledon, watching on, Thompson beat Benjamin Bonzi 7-5 6-7 (2-7) 4-6 6-2 6-4 in nine minutes shy of four hours. After Bonzi hit a return into the net on the second match point, Thompson let out a primal scream into the cool evening sky, smiled a grin as wide as Sydney Harbour, and pointed to his heart. 'Everyone the whole week has just told me to show some ticker, so I just pointed to it and said, that's some f***ing ticker,' said Thompson, adding the gesture was aimed at Hewitt, who often used the phrase himself and had been demanding it from Thompson. After his first-round defeat of Vit Kopriva, when he came from two sets down, Thompson looked shattered, said he was not enjoying himself, and wondered aloud if he would even be able to start Wednesday's match. He's now proud of himself, but still not enjoying it. 'The only thing that brought me a smile is the win and the fact that I didn't have to be out there anymore because it was so tough,' Thompson said. 'It's frustrating. There's movements I can't do, but the competitive juices are keeping me going. It's not just the back, it's everything. I'm super stiff. I'm not practising, but I keep moving and I'm having lots of treatment, yoga, core.'

Hollywood A-lister's nepo baby son cuddles up to blonde bombshell at star-studded event... can you guess who?
Russell Crowe 's sons made a rare public appearance this week, stepping out with their A-lister dad for an awards ceremony. The Gladiator star was joined by fiancée Britany Theriot and sons Charles, 21, and Tennyson, 18, at the Golden Bee Awards in Malta on Sunday. Russell turned more than a few heads, looking trim and terrific in an all-black look that consisted of an immaculately tailored suit paired with a crisp black dress shirt and vest. It appears that Russell's eldest son chose the occasion to debut a new relationship, with the ' nepo baby ' standing close to a blonde bombshell on the red carpet. The mystery blonde appeared chuffed to be in the company of Charles and his famous family, beaming broadly as she posed for photographers. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She looked smart in a dark blue dress that featured brass buttons and a frilled hem, and accessorised with a similarly coloured leather clutch and a pair of pearl pendant earrings. She finished her look with a light rose shade on her lips and a manicured brow. Russell's youngest son, Tennyson, was also in attendance and brought his partner Jess Renshaw, who looked stylish in a classic black gown. While little is known about Charles' mystery blonde, Tennyson sparked concerns about how fast his relationship with Jess was moving. Then 17 years old, Tennyson shared a loved-up photo of the pair together in January 2024, coupled with a diamond ring and white and pink heart emojis. A source claimed to New Idea at the time that while Russell was fond of Jess, he was concerned the couple were too young to say 'I do'. 'She is a sweetheart and it's pretty clear that she has swept Tennyson off his feet,' an insider told the publication. Russell's youngest son, Tennyson, was also in attendance, and brought his partner Jess Renshaw, who looked stylish in a classic black gown 'But Russell will certainly be a little surprised if it's true that his 17-year-old son is getting engaged. It's nothing to do with Jess, but just that Tennyson is just a kid.' Russell shares Tennyson and Charles with ex-wife Danielle Spencer. After tying the knot in April 2003 during a ceremony at his farm in Nana Glen, the couple went their separate ways in 2012 and finalised their divorce six years later. It comes after Russell ignited rumours he is set to tie the knot with Britany in Rome. The pair sparked speculation they are engaged when Britany was seen sporting a diamond ring. Claims are circulating they are eyeing up an Italian wedding after reportedly visiting a church during their latest visit to the city. The couple, who started dating in 2020, visited Rome last year when Russell performed with his band The Gentlemen Barbers at the Forum Theatre. They were spotted sightseeing during their lavish getaway and reportedly visited a church in the city. 'Italy was always going to be their wedding destination. Every time they go there, they come back more in love,' an insider told Woman's Day. 'It's always been their dream to get married there.' Russell and Britany frequently visit Italy together and first sparked engagement rumours during a trip to the European country last year. The pair then confirmed their long-rumoured romance with a kiss on a tennis court in November 2020. The couple are regularly seen jetting between Sydney and Coffs Harbour, where Russell is building a $400 million film studio dubbed 'Aussiewood '. The Beautiful Mind star owns a 400 hectare farm in nearby Nana Glen, and divides his time between this rural estate and his home in Sydney.

Noel Gallagher's close pal Jo Whiley says she 'wouldn't be surprised' if Oasis have written new music ahead of reunion tour
Noel Gallagher 's close pal Jo Whiley has said she 'wouldn't be surprised' if he has written new music for the Oasis reunion tour. The Gallagher brothers are gearing up for their highly-anticipated reunion tour, with their first gig kicking off in Cardiff on Friday. But fans could possibly be in for a treat, Radio 2 DJ Jo has hinted, as she speculated as to whether Noel could have written new music for the tour. Speaking to The Mirror, Jo shared that she thinks Noel is 'very ambitious'and has always been committed to writing new music. 'I wouldn't be surprised if they've written something, if Noel has written something new, because I think he'd want to prove himself, he's very ambitious,' she said. 'He really wants to be respected. I'd love them to do new material that was really good.' Referencing new music from Pulp, Blur and Suede, Jo spoke about how many of Oasis's peers have come back into the music game. She went on to say that both Noel and Liam aren't 'ancient men' and are artists who are both driven to create. Brothers Noel and Liam will reunite on stage at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Friday - in their first gig in 15 years. The iconic Britpop band will perform stadium shows across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Japan, South Korea and North, Central and South America, where it will conclude with a show at São Paulo's Estádio do Morumbi on November 23. And on Monday, fans became convinced that the duo had already arrived in Wales to sound check at the stadium after people heard music coming from inside. It has also been revealed the brothers have enlisted new bandmates for the tour, with drummer Joey Waronker and guitarists Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs on board. A source told The Mirror: 'With a new lineup and it being such a huge first show, the boys will do some songs inside the venue too. 'Some tours would start with a smaller show or take a week or two to get into the groove again- but there is no time for that, and also Liam and Noel want every night to be massive. 'This is such a huge comeback show, and they are taking it very seriously, it all points to it being an incredible comeback tour.' Oasis crew members could be forgiven for looking back in anger on Sunday after Liam took a swipe at them on social media. Liam, 52, risked upsetting the tireless roadies responsible for organising Live '25 - the band's first tour since their 2009 implosion - by claiming even their families will be relieved to rid of them this summer. Taking to X, he quipped: 'Our crew members don't have friends and there wife's and husbands are glad to see the f**king backs of them and tell me n rkid everytime we see them they don't know how we put up with them on a daily basis let alone go around the f**king world with them fyi.' [sic] The singer appeared to be responding to claims that Oasis crew members have not been issued free tickets for friends and family members - widely considered to be a perk of the job. 'The crew will be travelling around the country with the band, setting up the venues, and will be on hand throughout the concerts in case they are needed,' one source told the Daily Mail's Katie Hind. 'They'll be away from their family and are usually given tickets to invite them down to join them at one of the shows. Liam risked upsetting the tireless roadies responsible for organising Live '25 - the band's first tour since their 2009 implosion - by claiming even their families will be relieved to rid of them 'But the Gallagher brothers have banned any free tickets being given out. The crew are all fuming. Many of them have toured with other big-name artists and have never known anything like it. 'All Oasis seem to care about is making as much money as they can. Is this about fans, or is the truth that it's all about the money?' The band recently confirmed a limited number of extra tickets will be released ahead of July. A statement posted to the band's official website on Wednesday read: 'As the shows are getting closer, Oasis promoters may be able to release a very limited number of additional tickets for sale once final sight lines are checked and the production is fine tuned. 'These final production releases will happen over the coming days.' Following their initial release, thousands of fans waited for hours in virtual queues to get their hands on highly coveted tickets for the band's reunion shows, only to find that prices had jumped in a 'dynamic pricing' scheme.
