I'm guessing on what episodes correspond to "Part Two," but this sounds right, even if the ending feels a bit abrupt.  We see Jane and Rochester getting to know each other, and learn that Jane might have a rival.  It's unusual to have long scenes of dialogue like here, and I'll admit to getting more fidgety than I do reading the same exchanges, although kudos on the fidelity.  (It's the other characters who are shortchanged.)  I believe that Damien Thomas would return as Richard Mason.
