After hearing about the snippet in the papers, Ann was left feeling humiliated and upset. In an attempt to uplift her wife, Anne recalled an incident from earlier in their relationship: "Do you remember at Crow Nest when Mrs Priestly walked in on us and you laughed," she said. "I was mortified and you laughed. I think in that moment, I saw for the first time the real you. It was as brave as anyone."
Viewers took to Twitter to express their emotion over the tender scene, with one person writing: "I'm not crying….. Honest. This was so beautiful and emotional #GentlemanJack," while another added: "Crying over this scene."
