Sanditon -- Leo talks to Colonel Lennox 

I love the way Leo says I never knew my mother.....BUT YOU DID! What a great little actress....bravo!

That little girl was so, so brave in the way she confronted the colonel.

Little Leo is one of my favourite characters. Super acting!

Second Best Scene: I feel there are few things sexier that a man can do than live a life of integrity. Yes, BLH kills it with the puffy sleeves and the whole Regency silhouette, but sexiness resides between the ears, and with AC, it does not help our plight as observers that we are dealing with one heck of a sexy man. When he hugs his deceased wife's child, who is wise beyond the perch of childhood, and promises her he will be a better father, I lose it and melt. It's a profound moment that warms CH’s affection and says so much more than just the words being spoken. This simple but powerful scene is an overt demonstration of love that is appropriately rare in the show. Except for The Dance, with that exquisite dip and the cello’s tender adagio, with her hand clasped to his chest and the impenetrable lock of their eyes, and with words that sear through his isolation and bare his soul, the Better Father scene is my favorite. Breathing through either scene is not easy.

Many good moments in this video. Bu,t the touching her hand at the end of the scene was incredibly romantic. I cried after this episode. Life is not fair for,,everyone. But, why do these two have to suffer so much?

Little Leo AMBUSHED Colonel Lennox. He never knew what hit him. It's good that he showed a smidgen of decency and didn't tell Leo the truth. He's no paternal type, but I suspect that he will keep Leo's tin soldier as a keepsake of his offspring (I won't call her his daughter - she's Colbourne's daughter in every way, apart from biologically).

The little actress playing Leo is doing a great job! Her character is a brave little soul! Thank goodness Lennox did the right thing for a change. However, his dubious side could rise again to cause trouble!

Leo, I absolutely love this actress. I hope we see more of her

This is my favorite scene and the one I'll come back to on that long wait for season 3. I love the scenes with Leo and Augusta, so sweet and endearing.

OT, but at first I wondered where Leo got her child-sized uniform, boots and tin soldiers - especially considering how much her father is against her being a tomboy. I suspect they were once his and/or his brother's. Leonora must've found them in a trunk in the attic at some point! And little Flora Mitchell is doing a phenomenal job as Leonora! I hope that we see even more scenes with Leo and Augusta in Season 3! 💖💖💖

Thank You. 🌹❤

As Yondu would no doubt say, “He may have been your father, girl, but he wasn’t your daddy.”

I know this clip is about Leo but I think Frazer quit after seeing this incident with a child an then the unpaid debts. I think he had enough of following an unworthy colonel.

Leo wins our hearts

Every time I look at Leo I can’t help but think they should have gotten Dan Stevens to play Lennox. 🤣

Probably only decent thing lennox did, deny paternity When Leo and alexander hug...it almost makes everything up to this point worth alexabder should not have gone back to talk to lennox

Lennox looks genuinely surprised though, there's more to this story....

This episode killed me!! Is it confirmed that he is coming back next season? I believe they are end game but want to make sure!! This part was sweet...☺️

Cute ❤❤❤

I may be looking for breadcrumbs here, so this may (or may not) be significant for Season 3, but of all the men there, who greets and escorts Leo, and minutes later, Charlotte and Colbourne, to Lennox's tent? Capt. Fraser - AND he stayed and heard part of the conversation. As they leave the tent Fraser is walking and watching them, and he and Charlotte look at each other. We then see him watching Charlotte, Colbourne and Leo in the background like a hawk. He may have even noticed that small caress of Charlotte's fingers by Colbourne at the end. Since he will become Charlotte's brother-in-law just 2 months later, I wonder if he tells Alison what he saw and I wonder if he will play some role in process of getting Charlotte and Colbourne together.

For once, Lennox didn’t know what to say. Hell must have frozen over. 😏

Perhaps the little girl wanted or needed to meet her biological father..even if it's just once.. That Lennix guy had no idea she even existed.

Guess you could say he did one decent thing…….Colbourne is her father…….And don’t you just love Captain Fraizer?

OHHHHHHH MY GAWD 😮😭

Alexander's smile at 3:06 is adorbs. I wonder if Lennox will try to claim Leo in the future, either because he really wants her or just to cause trouble for Colbourne.

Quite an exchange. Lennox looks truly shocked. Wonder if there will be more to this story line?

I loved Alexander than Sidney. Charlotte deserves true happiness. I hope C and A will have a happy ending.

Okay, how could Lennox know that Lucy had died and that Colbourne hadn't been kind to her after the affair and not know that she had born his child!? It just doesn't make sense that this is the first he's hearing of it.

He wasn’t able to meet Lucy’s emotionally because he was grieving at that time. He told Charlotte it wasn’t long after I inherited the estate. So either his father or his older brother had died. I believe it’s his older brother. When they’re at the garden party Alexander tells Mrs D “ I’m nothing like my father.” So we see a little resentment slip out from him about his father. But when he was interviewing Charlotte he tells her about the governess him and his brother had. Charlotte says “ then I feel sorry for you and your brother.” If you catch it Alexander is silent for a moment and looks downward as in loving memory of his brother. That makes me think his brother was his older brother, his protector against the governess and perhaps his father too. I think he inherited from his older brother’s death. I think Alexander stayed at Hayrick Park to grieve his brother but to probably manage any and all problems with the estate. If his older brother was his protector then maybe his older brother had some demons of his own. I don’t think Lucy was mature enough of a wife for what Alexander was going through. 💔💔💔😔

Mr. Colbourne was holding Charlotte’s hand at the camp!? That is not an employer/ employee relationship… I am getting confused a bit- what next?!

Another thot about this... It seems that Lennox had no idea he had a child by Lucy. There was a look in his eyes, after Alexander left his tent for good, that it dawned on him why A was so angry. Perhaps even regretful, of the way he had taunted A, now knowing he had left A a constant reminder of his selfish evil. Did he think Leo was Alexander’s? Did he not know that she had a child, then died? Now this is seeming like a story inconsistency. He didn’t know Lucy had a child? Then did he know Lucy had died? Hummm. Not adding up.

🤣🤣🤣😂

From what Lennox said does anyone else think Colbourne may be impotent? just maybe because I have been in the medical field for so long sorry if i crossed the line
