I think it was!

I cant believe the number of things that happened.

Someone was hustling along some exciting plot this week, and I commend them for it.

Have to show thegildon theage, if you will.

Bertha is in Newport, preparing for the dinner in honor of the Duke of Buckingham.

Only she is at risk of beingfoiledby the crafty Mrs. Winterton.

1: Make the sauce taste gross!

2: Spill hot soup on the dukes pants!

Also, then hell have soup pants.

Come on, Winterton.

When you threw that newspaper in the fire, I expected better of you.

It is, however, hilarious to see these two ideas completely fail.

You cant even revenge correctly, Winterton!

I have looked upbothofthese, and they areworthwhatever she paid for them.

Good for you, Bertha, for learning all this information without the internet.

No, Im kidding.

In the barn, they, of course, kiss.

He is married, and I do not support this, but adrenaline will make people do things.

Now we come to Maud.

I had a theory about Maud based on a misremembering of history.

Jay Gould once had to flee to New Jersey to escape arrest due torailroad chicanery.

I dont know; hope springs eternal.

And he could marry her despite her conning him, like inThe Lady Eve!

Wow, this show that Ive imagined sounds great.

But it all seems fine?

Just a weirdly fast engagement and marriage?

When else are you going to hear that in daily life?

Ada tells Agnes not only that she is engaged but that the wedding is NEXT WEEK.

Theyre both in their 50s.

But it still seems SUSPICIOUS.

What dark secrets is the reverend hopefully hiding?

Oscar walks Ada down the aisle.

Everyone is together and happy.

This cannot last!

Lastly, lets quickly touch on the plots running just slightly behind the scenes.

This is not good!!

If its true, though, its beenverysubtle, so we shall see.

I heard a rumor that the duke almost had soup pants at Mrs. Russells.
