Willingly at Your Mercy - Episode 6

At the Yale household a young woman stepping in for Nina is berated by the matriarch for abandoning eighteen years of training and told her fate is to serve a powerful man. Another person denounces the family's hypocrisy, accuses them of using women's lives to preserve prestige, and vows to "crush this decaying century-old dream." The argument escalates into a dress confrontation: servants are ordered to strip her and change her into the conservative outfit Mr. Lowe prefers, but she insists on doing it herself. She complies—"Thank you, Mother"—while the vow promises further conflict.
