The roller-coaster romance of Ruby Bell and James Beaufort is racing toward another heartbreaking turning point. With Maxton Hall Season 2 nearing its finale, fans are bracing for the emotional chaos teased in Episode 5 — and if the series follows the book Save You, we’re in for a devastating cliffhanger. Before we look ahead, here’s a quick look at what Episode 5 set in motion and what the finale is almost guaranteed to deliver.
Ruby and James Face Mortimer’s Manipulation Again
A fragile peace that didn’t last long
Episode 5 opened with Ruby and James sneaking back into the Beaufort home after their date, only to nearly get caught by Mortimer. Though he surprisingly stayed calm, the peace didn’t last.
Mortimer’s emotional outburst
When Ruby talked about Oxford, Mortimer unexpectedly got emotional, even breaking down over Cordelia. It seemed like progress, but fans knew better — Mortimer doesn’t change overnight.
The scholarship sabotage
Ruby’s Oxford dreams collapsed when the Alice Campbell Foundation revoked her scholarship. One look at Mortimer’s guilty face confirmed it: he sabotaged her future again.
Key fallout:
- Ruby rushed to submit the scholarship exam form before the deadline
- James tried to fix things by contacting the Foundation
- Ruby pulled away emotionally, overwhelmed by Mortimer’s constant interference
The Lydia–Graham Scandal Blows Up
Lydia rejected Sirill’s kiss, only for Graham to show up and kiss her himself. She then revealed she is pregnant with his twins. Unbeknownst to them, Sirill and Elaine secretly recorded the entire moment. Mr. Lexington receiving the footage at the end signaled a huge school scandal coming in the finale.
What the Finale Will Bring (Based on the Book Ending)
If the series follows the book Save You, the finale will be devastating.
Ruby and James finally reconcile… briefly
Despite the chaos, Ruby and James find their way back to each other. They promise to fight for their love and, for a moment, it feels like things may finally settle. But peace never lasts long in Maxton Hall.
The devastating twist
In the book’s ending, Ruby’s father gets into a serious car accident and is left in critical condition. This tragedy completely shatters Ruby and forces her to prioritize her family over everything else. Unable to cope with more instability, she emotionally shuts James out. Their relationship is left uncertain and fragile.

- Lydia and Graham’s scandal going public
