How long can Catherines boundless optimism continue?
And it wasnt even her idea!
Svenska is the worst, and I hope she buys a wig thats filled with bees.
Before all this, though, Catherine and Peter are having issues.
She wont admit that she loves him, instead calling him a violent person with a terrible French accent.
Orlo tries to talk her down from this because it is an impossible plan.
I mean, were more than a hundred years away from even the most basic form of the telephone!
What, is she going to send out carrier pigeons?
Catherine doesnt know how to make the nobles humanize the serfs.
Then she sees Marials new maid, Shaky, thus nicknamed for obvious reasons.
Since Peter has decided to impetuously (does he know any other way?)
give up on Catherine, whats going on with super couples Marial/Grigor and Orlo/Schoolteacher Katya?
Returning to the topic of Orlos sexuality, which was previously befuddling, it now appears he is sapiosexual?
She says shell free the serfs today, and they throw shoes at her because Velementov took their guns.
Okay, but honestly, why isnt Elizabeth empress?
I know shes eccentric, etc.
Arkady comes in to help Peter and Peter tells him to fuck off.
She asks if hes come to take it off her, and he says not today.
Catherine tells Velementov to call in the battalion.
The serfs will not be freed today (or probably ever).
Peter voluntarily goes back to his imprisonment.
Lingering Questions
Who will take on the title of The Worst now that Svenska is dead?
And can it be both?
