I LOVE this bordeaux color on her.
Also her hair looks fantastic.
Hallucination Sam tells her she looks like someone who should be on the front page.
Novels and chill, Shipley says, as Vinnie burns silently beside him.
That is NOT how Sue or Austin was raised!
Hattie says if thats what shes going for, she nailed it.
Sue has perfect vision, but shes throwing on spectacles to make herself look smart for the night.
She wants credit for having matchmade one of the great literary partnerships in history.
Im very intrigued by how Sue is so into fame when Em is so wary of it.
Was she always like this underneath her sort of non-personality in season one?
The salon is just BUZZING with the news about Ems impending publication.
This is when Em learns that Sam Bowles sleeps with all the women he publishes.
Again, I ask, are Sam … and Sue …?!?
Or does Sue just wish they were?
There is some energy there.
I can FEEL it.
Sam and Em do a lap, on which they cross paths withSanford Giffordof Hudson River School fame.
(Hes a great painter, Sam says.
Em is very unsettled by all of this.
of money for his work as soon as they hear its about the light.
I mean, how would Sue know any of that?
Does Sue have ambition?
Sue is also still being quite inhospitable to her new cousin and nieces, much to Austins horror.
Sues response is that Austin is taking advantage of them.
So just a very happy marriage, and everything is working out great over here.
But Austin has other concerns: Hes helping Henry with the delivery of a printing press!
An ally for the ages!
Probably hard to have a sibling whos a genius, but Austin is doing his best, no?
He just wants to make a difference and wear cute hats.
I really hope the bratty teens dont barge into the barn and ruin this for everyone.
The other guests are enraptured by Henrys tale of escaping bondage (exaggerated for dramatic effect).
You know they check the boxes now?
Sam pulls Em aside for a little one-on-one in the library.
He shows her where shell go on the shelf, then says shell need a shelf all her own.
This is either a lovely gesture or he is seducing her, or both??
Sue walks in just as things are getting a little too cozy for comfort.
Shes obviously feeling rattled by the whole thing.
Back at home, Vinnie bursts in on Shipley, who is trying to get intoTheScarlet Letter.
(Shipley: not so smart, cant pronouncebodice, definitely cant keep up with Vinnie.)
People dont even realize this, but I am a lot like Emily!
Im wild and creative, and the truth is I am even more outrageous thanLola Montez.
Okay, I have been SAYING this!
Vinnie needs more from her married life than quiet nights in.
Vinnie needs …Scarlet Letterrole play?
WHAT ARE SAMS INTENTIONS?
I am VERY stressed and intrigued by all of this.
