Gentleman Jack Historical Nightcap - Anniana: A Saga of Sapphic Ennui Part II
Good lord! Two hours in and we're still not done breaking down Sally's script. During part two of the Anniana Saga, we finally complete the segment after taking many tangents, and give a quick run through of what's to come in the Diary Entries segment. Along the way we discover a number of intriguing deleted lines including an alternate argument between Anne and Mariana, as well as a different ending to the confrontation between Christopher Rawson and Anne. Somehow the latter meeting is even jauntier than what we saw on screen!
