Rivals just deviated in the most drastic way from the Jilly Cooper books on which it’s based with the halfway point of Season 2 — and now we have to wait months for the other six episodes?! (Might we suggest our cover story with David Tennant and Nafessa Williams, a deep dive into Season 2 Episode 6, to make the wait a bit easier?)
The midseason finale takes place, for the most part, over the course of the night of The Great Storm, as it was called, of 1987. It devastates the Cotswolds and results in the death of a beloved character, Monica (Claire Rushbrook), which will change the trajectory of her husband, Tony (Tennant), going forward. It is also why Cameron (Williams) realizes just what’s going on between her beau Rupert (Alex Hassell) and Taggie (Bella Maclean). And because of the shocking end, there’s still one affair that was almost revealed that remains secret.
Below, we take a look at the burning questions we have for Rivals Season 2 Part 2. Scroll down, then let us know yours in the comments section. Warning: The spoilers ahead for Season 2 of Rivals.
