Dickinson 1x03 felt like it was half an episode, in that its only purpose was to reveal Emily and Sue’s feelings to Austin and drive Sue away as Emily and Austin fought, suffocating her with their discord.
While in the first episode I thought perhaps Austin didn’t have true romantic feelings for Sue—that he only pursued her because she wasn’t interested in him—this episode began to disprove that. I do think there is some “male pride” driving his actions, but I believe he has genuine affection for her. See also the “muse” scene in 1x04, and his eager willingness to cover Sue’s debts and buy her dress when she suggested postponing the announcement of the wedding until she was no longer penniless.
Contrary to what Jane said, though, it feels like Emily is more in love with Sue than Sue is with Emily—that is, they are both in love with each other, as multiple events so far have shown, but it feels like a bigger part of Emily’s life, and a stronger pull, than for Sue. Likewise, it’s hard to get a bearing on Sue’s true feelings for Austin…she doesn’t appear to love him nearly as much as she does Emily—both Dickinson siblings are more enamored of Sue than Sue is with either of them!—but does she love him at all? Or has she only accepted his proposal, in a time of loss, to put an end to his pursuit of her and as something of a lifeline out of penniless orphanhood? And now she is trying every way to drag out the engagement and postpone the wedding, the true reasons for which only she knows. If Sue had a stable home like Emily, would she have continued to politely rebuff Austin just as Emily has done with George?
It was fascinating to see Emily suggest the party to Sue—who naturally agreed with Emily—and then Austin immediately give in to please Sue, when he had been dead-set against the idea coming from Emily and Lavinia!
Honorable mention: Lavinia’s crushing on the town bad boy, who seems hilariously the same as every television bad boy of the past half-century or so (also the local opium supplier!).
In 1x04, though, a full plot arc was back. We began and ended with the magnificent heirloom Dickinson oak—Emily’s favorite companion—and had many adventures in between!
I feel bad for George, because it’s clear to us that Emily is never going to choose him, no matter how loyal and useful he is…but I also get the sense that George genuinely likes Emily, so no matter the outcome—unless, by some strange series of events, she chooses someone else—he’s happy to spend time with her and to woo her, and, for a moment on the train, live the fantasy of a married couple.
Thoreau really is a piece of work! I almost wish George published the truth of his “interview”—and speaking of the college literary magazine, what happened to Emily’s poem that was to be published in it, already at the printer’s when she announced it, because she told Thoreau that she had never been published. Did Edward somehow force them to reprint the issue to save his reputation?
Another fun contrast between the two elder Dickinson siblings: both Emily and Austin have the same muse in Sue, yet Austin’s poem is no better than a trite schoolboy rhyme. I wonder whether Edward chose Austin to prepare a poem to spite Emily after her rude interruption, to test or spur on Austin, or both? (Or simply because it would cause him to lose face if he allowed his daughter to exhibit her intellectual and literary talents in public? I thought it seemed clear to him that he knew which child would be capable of producing a suitable poem for the occasion, and the results bore that out.)
On the Lavinia front, following her poor choice of men in the previous episode, and after wandering around town bizarrely in her “Indian headdress,” once Lavinia confesses the cause of her sadness, Mrs Dickinson’s “what makes you think the Indians would want you?” has got to set some sort of record for cruelty.
Once again, though, Emily is able to get her way; Edward undergoes an unexplained (Austin’s awful verse?) change of heart and decides to save the great tree. Somehow, in spite of Emily’s argument with him in front of Robert Picardo, she was the least-embarrassing Dickinson child this episode 😂

one of my favourite thing about Dickinson is the accurate portrayal of what it feels like to have your period. the drama, the scream, the "Life is an endless sea of pain.", the trying to see whether you got blood on your clothes, the overdramatic collapse on/by your bed, the sudden bursts of pain as a cramp hits...

I'll never get over this eye contact. Their body language is so sensual. And how does one NOT immediately fall in love with Hailee?
