- [Narrator] The love plot from "Enola Holmes".
In "Enola Holmes",
she's got a lot on her plate,
but she finds time to squeeze in a love interest
with Lord Tewkesbury.
Let's break down the love plot between this couple.
- Now where to begin?
- [Narrator] Point 1, let's get to know Enola.
- Enola!
- [Narrator] Having just run away from home,
Enola wants to find her missing mother and get away
from the stuffy life her family is planning for her.
While doing this,
she definitely doesn't want to waste her time with some boy.
- I don't want a husband!
- [Narrator] Point two, the meet cute.
You know how some love interests come with baggage?
In "Enola Holmes",
baggage comes with love interest when Enola meets Tewkesbury
for the first time.
- Hello
- [Narrator] Sure, that's pretty unusual on its own,
but just wait until the harrowing getaway.
- [Enola] This one!
- [Narrator] It may be a little higher stakes
than your average romcom,
but they still meet and it's still cute.
Point three, budding love.
Now that our lovebirds have met,
let's see how they get along.
- [Enola] We have nothing to eat.
- Of course we do, Arctium lappa,
which you'll know as burdock.
Very tasty.
Then there's Trifolium, clover
and is that, yes, I knew it!
Mushrooms!
Agaricus lanipes.
The princess.
Delicious.
If you can get a fire started, I can make us a feast.
- [Narrator] Sure, Enola's first take on Tewkesbury
was that he's goofy and a little on the pompous side,
but after hanging out with him,
she realizes that he's not the worst company in the world.
I mean, come on, the boy can cook.
Point four, they meet again.
Enola sends Tewkesbury on his way.
- He'll be fine.
- [Narrator] Now she can purely focus
on finding her mother, right?
Enola may think she's rid of him,
but fate brought these kids together for a reason.
And there's a good chance it happens again.
- I will ask you this only once,
where is the Marquess?
- Now, who would that be?
- [Narrator] After finding out Tewkesbury's life is
in danger, Enola goes off to save him.
- There are those that want to hurt him.
And he has not the strength to stop them.
I do have that strength.
- [Narrator] And get this,
she even admits to maybe kinda sorta missing the boy.
Just a little.
- Oh, you tickle me, Viscount Tewkesbury.
- [Narrator] This doesn't mean Enola is
in love with Tewkesbury,
but she doesn't not love him either.
Point five, the setback.
Wouldn't you know it,
just when our couple are about to fall in love,
something gets in the way.
- [Detective] Come back here.
- Who's he?
- [Narrator] After Enola finds Tewkesbury,
a detective catches up with them.
She has to sacrifice her freedom
so that Tewkesbury can escape.
- If he catches you, your life will be in danger.
If he catches me, it's simply a life I do not want.
Now go!
- I don't want to leave you, Enola.
- Go!
(door rattling)
- [Narrator] Love is still in the air,
but it's gonna have to wait.
Point six, the lowest of lows.
Sadly, our two lovebirds couldn't be any further apart.
Sure, Tewkesbury's safe, but it came with a price.
- Welcome.
- [Narrator] Not only is Enola separated from him,
she's now trapped in a stuffy finishing school
and won't be able to find her mother, nor have independence.
- You are here to be made into young ladies.
How would we laugh?
We laugh politely.
(women laughing)
- I would say this is going quite well, wouldn't you?
- [Narrator] Point seven, reunited.
Time for our love birds to get back together,
for good this time.
- Tewkesbury!
- [Narrator] Just like the first time they met,
Tewkesbury sneaks into Enola's finishing school
and the two escape.
- My automobile!
- [Tewkesbury] All right, watch out, Enola, Enola,
not the (indistinct). (Enola whoops)
- [Narrator] Not only does she gain independence
and find her mother,
it's kind of obvious that Holmes and Tewkesbury
should start working on a couple's name.
Holmesbury?
So the love plot of "Enola Holmes" goes like this.
One, we meet Enola.
Two, Enola meets Tewkesbury.
Three, they find out they're somewhat compatible.
Four, they part ways, but then get back together.
Five, something tears them apart.
