23. Ain’t It Shocking What Love Can Do
In Episode Two: Shock and Delight, we are both shocked and delighted by the antics of our favourite alphabetically named siblings and their aristocratic co-hort. There are balls, picnics, drawing rooms, and bedrooms. There are punches, threats, ultimatums, and desperate plans. There are big life questions and small moments of pleasure. All in all, just another day in the Season in Regency London.
