Sure, The Buccaneers Season 2 Episode 4 “Ice Cream” reunites the Apple TV+ show’s core couple — Nan St. George (Kristine Frøseth) and Guy Thwarte (Matthew Broome) — but it also introduces a whole new scandalous romance.

**Spoilers for The Buccaneers Season 2 Episode 4 “Ice Cream,” now streaming on Apple TV+**

Theo (Guy Remmers) and Lizzy (Aubri Ibrag) not only kiss halfway through The Buccaneers this week, but the episode ends with them in the throes of ecstasy together. It’s maybe not a surprise that the jilted Duke of Tintagel decides to shoot his shot with the gorgeous Lizzy Elmsworth, despite the fact that she’s engaged. However, it might shock Buccaneers fans that Lizzy would so quickly betray her best friend.

“Now I feel guilty for Lizzy!” Buccaneers star Aubri Ibrag exclaimed when DECIDER described the affair that way.

How did this happen? What is going on? Well, let’s track what’s happened so far this season on The Buccaneers.

The Buccaneers Season 2 opens with Nan accepting that she’s made the right decision to marry Theo in order to save her sister Jinny (Imogen Waterhouse) from her abusive husband Lord Seadown (Barney Fishwick). Best friend Lizzy fully supports this. So much so, when Lizzy receives a letter from Guy begging to connect him with Nan, she initially hides it. Nan has said she’s making a concerted effort to be the Duchess of Tintagel. Who is Lizzy to stop her?

Meanwhile, Lizzy finds herself noticed by not one, but two men. Handsome liberal politician Hector Robinson (Jacob Ifan) pulls out all the stops wooing the American heiress. However, even as this courtship is happening, there are all these quiet moments where Theo and Lizzy find themselves connecting. After Lizzy accepts Hector’s proposal, Theo makes a point to say that he kind of, sort of, doesn’t think the politician has the juice to marry her. He tells Lizzy she is “sensational.”

Around this time, Lizzy also learns that Nan is absolutely unhappy with her situation. Seeing how heartbroken Nan is, Lizzy encourages her to go to Guy, thus blowing up her marriage to Theo. Then, in The Buccaneers Season 2 Episode 4, Lizzy starts to feel disconnected from Hector, just as Theo is free to declare himself. By the end of the episode, Lizzy and Theo are in bed together. Aubri Ibrag explained to DECIDER just how this happened so quickly.

“I think with Hector, there was obviously a connection there,” Ibrag said. “She thought he was a very good guy. Like the way he played with the kids and the fundraising, and I think she really appreciated his kindness as a person.” 

“But I think with Theo, she felt a little butterfly in her stomach, if that makes sense?” she said. “That’s not something she’s experienced before. Obviously, she’s new to love and that stuff, so I almost think that it overpowered — it was unexpected and it was overpowering.”

The sensation is so overpowering that Lizzy goes to Tintagel to initiate a night of passion with Guy. Never mind the fact that Theo is still technically her best friend’s husband!

“Obviously, we’ve got Nan, but Nan is in love with Guy,” Ibrag said. “So in her mind, for the first time in her life, she’s kind of a little bit selfish and did what she actually wanted to do.”

“I think it’s a new side of Lizzy that we didn’t get to see before because she was kind of quiet and shy and a people pleaser, and be scared to step a foot wrong. I think it’s nice to see her come into her [own], actually be a little bit selfish.”

“Not even selfish,” Ibrag said, correcting herself. “Just following her heart.”

Will following her heart lead Lizzy down the right path? Is she blowing up a chance at happiness with Hector? Will Nan find out? The answers to these questions, and more, will be answered by the rest of The Buccaneers Season 2 on Apple TV+.
