![]() ![]() Fogg stands up to the gentleman this time. While Fogg is admired for his efforts, Bellamy calls out that the bet was never about money. The trio are certainly cutting it fine but as they charge up the street, with the obligatory snowfall that comes once in a blue moon in England, Fogg makes it back with 1 second left to go on the clock. Although he initially thinks he’s out of time, it turns out they’re actually still on Day 80, a day behind given they’ve been traveling eastward this whole time. Things seem bleak but as we reach Day 81 of the journey, Fogg is free to go. In his absence, Abigail and Passepartout make a promise to stay by each other’s side. Unfortunately, he’s arrested for his efforts. That would consequently mean Fogg fails… but he fails anyway when he tries to charge past the security onto the station. Fogg encourages him to send a telegram to explain this mix-up but the worker in question doesn’t arrive until 8am. Fogg is denied entry given there’s an outstanding arrest warrant for him from Hong Kong. Well, the boat makes it back to England but there’s another problem. What happens in England? Why can’t Fogg progress? ![]() Interestingly, he also holds a telegram from Bellamy, clearly stating his intent to stop Fogg no matter what. This crucial bit of deus ex machina allows Fogg to make it back to the Henrietta just in time, as the trio hop aboard and prepare to head back to England. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your perspective) Kneedling ends up stabbed in the skirmish and bleeds out right there. Together they work to thwart the threat, with Fogg’s unconventional fighting methods working well to force the gang to scarper. The thing is, several other thieves watch from afar as Fogg is taken into an abandoned warehouse.Ī whole gang of men show and surround Kneedling and Fogg. Passepartout and Abigail stick together, twiddling their thumbs and worrying whether Fogg will show up in time or not.Įn-route, Fogg is stopped by Kneedling who holds him up at knifepoint. This burst of courage and confidence is enough for Fogg to reconcile his differences with Estella and rush back to the Henrietta before it departs. The only way to prove him wrong is to win the bet. Estella stood up for him but unfortunately she was proven right when Fogg got cold feet and left.Įstella promises that Bellamy will always try and hit out and knock him down. The night before they were bound to leave for France, Bellamy actually approached Estella, telling her how useless Fogg was and dissuading her from leaving. When she learns Fogg has done nothing with his life, she exclaims “I knew it!” before admitting that she’s the one who sent the postcard back in episode 1. As she says herself, it’s not remarkable but it’s at least something. Although she’s settled down and had kids and a husband, it doesn’t compare to the grand adventure she promised herself with Fogg. Since leaving her in France, Estella admits that she’s had a mixed life. What happened to Estella? Did she send the postcard? With Estella by his side, she talks about her ordeal. And thankfully, Estella does show up.Īs fate would have it, Estella appears and immediately berates Fogg, slapping him for breaking her heart and leaving the woman in limbo. This explains why he’s been so distracted all this time. Minutes tick by and still he waits, hoping for Estella to show. Only, Fogg soon leaves the ship before it departs, hurrying back to the clock at the station. Their destination is the Henrietta, a grand vessel bound for England. ![]() Everyone is well aware of their antics, and as we roll round to Day 70, the trio prepare for their final leg of the journey. ![]() Episode 8 of Around the World in 80 Days begins this finale in New York with Fogg, Passepartout and Abigail all surrounded by reporters, wanting to talk to them. ![]()
