Anthony and Violet push back against the plan as Sophie’s day spirals from a tense visit with the Penwood circle to fears of pregnancy, ultimately revealing she is not pregnant and choosing a professional path by interviewing at Penwood House. Sophie burns the Our Cottage drawing, and Benedict watches their dream unravel as she departs for a new life, underscoring the season’s ongoing critique of class and tradition with plenty of royal-society intrigue alongside.
