Recap

Emily’s eyes are bothering her, and she goes to see specialist.

Edward is upset over bill and reveals the family is having financial troubles, which leads to Dickinson taking in a border named Henry 'Ship' Shipley, an old classmate of Austin's.

Ship and Lavinia are revealed to have been romantically involved in the past, and Ship proposed to Lavinia, believing she is a prim and proper woman.

Lavinia sets out to prove him wrong, and they hookup.

Over the past few months, Emily has been writing many poems and sends them to Sue for feedback.

Emily goes over to Austin and Sue's house during a party they're hosting and asks Sue what she thinks of her poems.

Sue says she loves Emily’s poems but doesn’t like what they make her feel.

It is then revealed Sue suffered a miscarriage but hasn't told Austin about it.

Dickinson Season 2 Episode 1 Quotes

Edward: You really are a poet. You write all the time these days. Well, what do you with all these poems? You never show them to me.
Emily: I couldn’t show them to you.
Edward: Why not?
Emily: You wouldn’t understand them.
Edward: Oh, well, you’re probably right. I just hope you find someone who can understand them.
Emily: Well, don’t worry. I have someone. I do.

Ship: I’m glad you asked. I came here for you.
Lavinia: I’m surprised you even remember me.
Ship: Of course I remember you. You’re the most pure, simple, quiet, traditional girl I ever knew, and that is why I want to make you my wife.
Lavinia: Ship, Ship, we hooked up once. Then you hooked up with someone else the same night.
Ship: That wasn’t very chivalrous of me. You’ll see I’ve changed, Lavinia. I’m not that college dropout that got drunk and tobogganed into a lake. I’m a serious adult man with entrepreneurial instincts and a profound respect for women who embody traditional values such as submissiveness, chastity, and willingness to do household chores.
Lavinia: I’m not even like that.
Ship: You’re Lavinia Dickinson. You have tea parties for your cats.
Lavinia: Well, yes, but I’ve changed too.
Ship: Oh, and how have you changed?
Lavinia: I’ll show you.
Ship: Whoa, whoa, whoa, don’t you think we should wait until marriage?
Lavinia: Henry ‘Ship’ Shipley, I don’t think you have any idea who you’re dealing with.
