Season 2 of the period drama picks up on Easter morning 1883, during a time of great economic change and conflict between the old ways and new systems as the American class system is tested. With Bertha Russell’s bid for a box at the Academy of Music has been rejected, she challenges Mrs. Astor and the old system — not only securing her place in Society, but setting herself up to potentially take a leading role in it. As George Russell takes on his own battle with a growing union at his steel plant in Pittsburgh, Marian continues her journey to find her way in the world in the Brook House while secretly teaching at a girls school. Ada begins a new courtship and unsurprisingly, Agnes approves of none of it. The Scott family begins to heal from a shocking discovery in Brooklyn, and Peggy taps into her activist spirit through her work with T. Thomas Fortune at the NY Globe, according to the official logline. The season finale aired on Dec. 17.
