Rural fiance Ralph Starling -picked by their fathers- accompanies Charlotte Heywood to Sanditon, where everyone look forward to the grand party for Georgiana Lambe's 21st -majority- birthday, when she gets control of her vast heritage, her mother remaining unfound. Lady Montrose arrives, desperate to find her son and heir Harry, the duke of Buckinghamshire, a fiancee seeking a title with a sufficient income to cover their dire financial needs, and a fiance for daughter Lydia (turning 30), but Lord Montrose is of the Greek persuasion, as Georgiana accidentally finds out, so they agree to pretend being a couple to stop matchmaking. Poor Sir Edward Denham seeks to regain some favor from Lady Denham through 'water therapy' from Dr. Fuchs and 'spiritual guidance' from vicar Hankins, who rudely rival claiming his progress, while his aunt remains skeptical. Tom Parker nudges key investor Rowleigh Pryce to attend the party to agree with Lady Denham on financing a hotel.
