His Grace's Favorite Gentleman: Season 2 - Episode 2

After learning Morgan is actually a girl and alive, Mr. Payne, the Everlasting Duke, reels with embarrassment about past encounters while companions whisper that Shane "ruined her name." Servants overhear and mock, increasing pressure on the duke who insists he did nothing wrong. The mood shifts when Marge Gale bursts in requesting an audience. She tells His Grace she believes Morgan did not vanish by accident and may have eloped. That claim overturns the episode's gossip, giving the duke a concrete lead. The episode ends with him facing a decision to pursue Marge's allegation or let the matter rest.
