A previous episode implied that Simon’s father had long been a duke. There’s no mention of slavery - or anything specific, really - but he says that their people were previously seen as “novelties.” This raises a ton of questions. Regarding the white king (who we haven’t actually seen) and Black queen, Danbury says, “We were two separate societies, divided by color, until a king fell in love with one of us.” Simon points out that this might have allowed Black people to hold titles, but it doesn’t change everything. She also makes the first mention of race we get on the show. In a scene mirroring this, Lady Danbury tells Simon to propose to Daphne, if he loves her. And, please, someone get these girls an encyclopedia. At one point Eloise is shown smoking a cigarette and with her deep voice she’s reminiscent of Florence Pugh playing young Amy in Little Women. It doesn’t help that the actors playing Penelope and Eloise are 33 and 31, respectively.

Neither Penelope nor Eloise find out the truth about sex this episode, and… I’m sorry, how old are they supposed to be? Penelope is out for her first social season, so I was guessing about 16. Marina tells Penelope that pregnancy comes from “love” and shares that she’s in love with a guy named George who writes her letters and is fighting in a war in Spain. They thought pregnancy could only happen to married women and don’t want to become pregnant by mistake, so they need answers. She shares with Eloise that she knows someone who is pregnant, but doesn’t know how it happened. The other storyline of this episode starts when Penelope finds out about Marina’s pregnancy.
