A slip with a document lets her discover that Lydia, James's sister, is in a secret relationship with teacher Graham Sutton. Fearing Ruby will reveal it, Lydia asks her brother for help, and he decides to silence her. From there, the season follows the clash between their two worlds, with a charity gala, pressure from the Beaufort family and a rivalry that grows more intense.
