We are five episodes into Season 2 of The Buccaneers, and things are getting messy with all the love entanglements between the main characters. Not only are Lizzy (Aubri Ibrag) and Theo (Guy Remmers) falling for each other despite the latter being married to Nan (Kristine Froseth), but it also seems like Guy (Matthew Broome) is moving on with someone new. And to be honest, maybe it’s for the better. Although Nan sacrificed her happiness to protect her sister, she’s second-guessed her decision since the beginning of Season 2, and that has been affecting everyone in her midst. At Nan’s request, Guy left everything behind to be with Jinny (Imogen Waterhouse) and keep her safe from Lord Seadown (Barney Fishwick), including relocating to Italy, pretending to be married to her, and helping to take care of her baby.
While it hasn’t been easy for either of them to let go of friends and family, they’ve found some solace in the company of a local named Paloma (Grace Ambrose). Since their arrival, she has helped the characters to adjust to their new setting and life in hiding, becoming a friend that they can rely on. In Episode 5, there is a notable shift between Guy and Paloma, when she finds out that he isn’t actually married to Jinny and that he has seemingly moved on from waiting for Nan. As the two spend the day drinking and kissing, the series hints at them becoming romantically involved rather than just having a platonic relationship.
Nan’s Visit to Italy Showed That She Can’t Be With Guy Right Now
Before the events that led Guy and Paloma to grow closer than ever before, Nan traveled to Italy on a whim. Hurt by the fact that the Dowager Duchess would only grant her a divorce from Theo if they were to welcome an heir, the protagonist flees and meets with Jinny and Guy at Porto Salvo. Although she and Guy initially struggle to get to where they left off, they slowly find their way back to each other by sneaking into a wedding reception and then spending the afternoon making up for the lost time. By the next morning, it really feels like they’ve reignited the spark that they had prior to Nan’s wedding to Theo, raising the hopes for them to finally be together.
Still, what ends up happening is that Nan sees that she can’t live out her happy ending with the person that she loves if she can’t secure Jinny’s well-being. Once again, she tears Guy’s heart apart by telling him that she has to leave and finish what she’d started by helping to pass a law that could secure Jinny’s safe return to London. Although it makes sense for Nan to put her sister first, her impulsive behavior and at times spoiled attitude have affected some of the people she cares for the most, especially Guy. Her short-lived visit to Italy only goes to show that maybe there will never be a right time for her and Guy to be together, and that it might be best for him to move on.
In ‘The Buccaneers’ Season 2, Episode 5, Paloma and Guy Are Closer Than Ever
In Season 2, Episode 5, Nan goes back home while Guy drinks his sorrows away at the apartment he shares with Jinny. Paloma pays him a visit with the sole intention of calling him out for being unfaithful to Jinny, given that she saw him and Nan together the day prior. Yet, it is then that Guy reveals to her that he is not actually married and is only pretending to be to protect Jinny from her abusive husband. Knowing now that Guy is single and that he is ready to forget Nan, Paloma proves that she’s there for him and helps him to numb the pain with laughter and a constant pouring of liquor.
They eventually kiss, and their palpable chemistry makes it hard to deny that Guy can have a much simpler and fulfilling life with Paloma at his side. Yes, they were both drunk when they hooked up, but the next day they didn’t seem to regret their decision to cross the line from friendship to being romantically linked. One of the last scenes we see in Episode 5 features Paloma leaving Guy’s apartment and noticing that she has a wedding band, which could indicate that she and Guy might’ve eloped the night before when they weren’t completely aware of what they were doing. As messy as this revelation might be, maybe this is the opportunity for Guy and Nan to part ways and for him to carry on with someone who has been a close friend since he and Jinny relocated to Italy.

‘The Buccaneers’ Biggest Problem Involves This Character — and It Makes the Show Hard To Watch Now
It’s time to bring this storyline to an end.
The Episode Ends With Paloma Potentially Married to Guy
Guy renounced his home and a future with Nan to watch over her sister. While he doesn’t regret doing so, he’s been living miserably ever since. Nan’s latest visit only showed that they might love each other, but there are a lot of obstacles preventing them from being officially together. In the same way that Theo told Lizzy that she deserved better than forever being known as his mistress, it’s fair to say that Guy doesn’t deserve to settle for being with a woman that is already married. If the circumstances were different, maybe Nan and Guy could have the happy ending they’ve always wanted, but that doesn’t seem to be the case so far.
With Guy potentially married to Paloma, this might be the unexpected ticket for him to start over. Paloma has been nothing but a kind, considerate, and friendly presence for both Guy and Jinny since their move to Italy, and even though it was clear that she had harbored feelings for him since they met, she respected the fact that Jinny was his wife. It was only after she became aware that Guy was single and trying to forget Nan that she pursued something more with him. Although it might be unpopular to root for Nan and Guy to not end up together, Episode 5’s surprising turn convinced me that Guy should move on and Paloma seems to be the ideal person for him to end up with.
