Side note: Hailee Steinfeld is incredibly charming as a lovestruck woman. While it helps to cheer Sue up, it comes back to bite her in the ass at the end of this episode. This is the resolution I was hoping to see more of after her Walt Whitman gay bar fever dream from last week’s episode.
What really happens? Emily finds Sue exhausted in her bedroom and tells her that she loves her, which mind you, she hasn’t done since before the Dickinson Season 2 finale. In the spirit of the celebration, Emily, ever the people-pleaser, decides that it’s the perfect opportunity to get Austin and Sue over to the house and set aside their issues for the greater good. This seems like a weird activity, but I guess maybe it was a thing in the 1800s when you couldn’t take your dad golfing or to a baseball game for his birthday? The back half of the episode takes place almost entirely in one location, at Mr. In the last few episodes, we’ve seen cuts of him attempting to write while Betty is at home looking wistfully off in the distance, but no clear answer on that front. It’s still very unclear to me why Henry isn’t writing home to his wife and daughter, reassuring him that he is okay. That’s quite appropriate for a show about a historical figure, set in a time of conflict, not unlike our very own 21st century. While explaining the benefit of learning the alphabet as opposed to just jumping into the war’s fighting, he reminds the regiment (and us), that “in order to get to the future, you must confront the past.” Henry often serves as the show’s voice of wisdom and often speaks truths that resonate both in the series’ time period and today’s. Higginson’s South Carolina regiment, Henry continues to have major “hip” teacher vibes, complete with an awkward ice breaker during this week’s “class.” “Dickinson” season three, now streaming on Apple TV+. Though Henry was missing from the first trilogy Dickinson episodes, he has a very active presence in the last two.

Dickinson is a slight Confederate apologist or if it’s just a plot point to continue reinforcing the line “Family is all we have.” I keep trying to figure out if it’s particularly relevant to the storyline that Mr. Dickinson is in conflict with some of his Amherst neighbors.

The last we saw of the Dickinsons, the family house had a case of the fleas, and Emily was entranced by Walt Whitman’s words, coming to terms with her feelings for her best friend/sister-in-law/lover, Sue. It’s one of the more interesting episodes of Dickinson thus far this season, venturing towards territory that could take us down a path drastically different from what the history books tell us of Emily Dickinson’s life. Stylistically different from last week’s Emily-centric speakeasy outing, this episode brings us back to the tried and true formula, focusing on all of the Dickinsons equally and throwing in an appearance from the townsfolks just for fun.

In hindsight, I think it will make a lot more sense that Dickinson Season 3 Episode 5, “Song from the Heart, Sire,” is the episode where a lot of shit hit the fan.
