Love's Icy Awakening - Episode 3

Mrs. Nixon waits anxiously as Diana arrives late and Sawyer’s attention shifts entirely to Diana. At a reception Mr. Nixon lavishes Milan couture on Diana; staff mock the used gift and Mrs. Nixon is sidelined, her former respect turning to pity. When Alaric fails to appear, Mrs. Nixon instructs a subordinate to fetch a rare vintage watch from storage and personally deliver it to Alaric in Ms. Beck's name. The episode ends with the watch dispatched while rumors that Alaric is cruel hang over the unresolved outcome.
