Flirtation Beneath Family Smiles - Episode 6

At a Hopkin family dinner, a woman who hasn't returned in years endures relatives' scorn and gossip that she took an older lover and ruined the Trump family's reputation. The youngest Hopkin chairman sits nearby; she notices the eldest grandson's favor toward Shirley and wonders if Shirley meant Charon when she asked for love. Her family orders her to return, marry properly, and bring dowry. An uncle sends two bottles of homemade plum wine for the Master's birthday. Mr. Hopkin tells a servant, "Make her a bowl of ginger soup." The episode ends with her unsure what the kindness means.
