| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Marries rich girl and sends her away cause she embarrasses him. Dick. |
| Some nice backstory and ending! Lets see what's next, I do wonder what Emma will do. |
 |
| William's dad is all about rising as much as he can in society, family be damned. William's mum was such a sweet and beautiful girl who was lost in her husbands insatiable ambition. How sad. I feel kind of sorry for Eleanor though. |

| I think he cares for Aurelia that is why he sent her away. |

| A) Will's dad really cares for Aurelia so he sent her away to protect her B) He's a giant d-bag. She embarrasses him so he sent her away. I'm more inclined to believe it's B. I'd like to believe he did it to protect her then why did he have to separate her with her kids? The way Grace spoke, it's like ages since she last saw her mother. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| I think his dad cares about Aurelia. I might be wrong though. |
 |
| So now we know why Aurelia is living away, it seems that William's dad really likes her, I believe he did it all to her, he knows she would end up tired and depressed. |
 |
| A much-needed explanation/backstory about William’s mother & her family past, she didn’t abandon them like I tough, it was William's dad call to send her far away from the gossip home, he even created a cause for her departure. The dad is a douchebag! Choosing business/social life before his wife & children wellbeing. You can clearly see the contrast between the Jones & the Molders both are business oriented family but the Molders share an equal time in the happiness of their family as opposed as the Jones showed to us via the flashback for the Jones and the Christmas scene for the Molders.

| An interesting backstory, but I think some are too harsh on Richard. Sure work means a lot to him, otherwise he wouldn't have made it that far, but I don't doubt that he also acted in interest of Aurelia who seemed trouble. Nothing wrong with taken the burden of interacting with the high class from her. Also, it's not like he can simply go with her and abandon his business and prestige on which he has spent most of his life to build them up. Well, this all gives Richard's stance towards William's potential relationship with Emma and the stain he would put on his families name for breaking an engagement even more weight. Not to mention how tough it was for him when he was still an upstart. I'm also interested in the development between Emma and Hans, they keep teasing with it. |

| Was very nice to see Richard and Aurelia's backstory. I like this couple. Aurelia is too good for all those fake nobles who mocked her, also her husband at first. I am still rooting for Hans and Emma. This show's atmosphere is as masterfully done as always, feels very natural. |

| It’s nice to see William for once to get his sh*t together. Although i feel a bit sorry for Eleanor. |
| I wonder if the flashback showed differences in styles between the 1870s and '80s and the "present" of the 1890s. I certainly don't know enough to be able to tell. I thought it was made clear that Aurelia was having a nervious breakdown (foreshadowed by her being an oddball to begin with; no wonder she had having trouble fitting in) and Richard was showing kindness by hoaxing a reason to relieve her of the burden. The idea that she's never(?) seen her children since then just doesn't make sense, though. There's no reason anyone should wish it and there's no other reason for it; surely visiting their "sick" mother would be perfectly normal. |
| First of all young Richard was a looker. He was so much better looking than William now lol. Loved hearing their backstory finally. I really like Aurelia as a character! I feel like Richard did care about her and probably knew Aurelia needed to get away from all the socializing, but I also believe he did it to save face and did it for selfish reasons that he probably justified for himself by convincing it was all for her. I feel like maybe he didn't send the kids to see her at all, might have been because he thought she could be bad influence on the kids? As he is all about being super proper and wants to climb up the social ranks and solidify their family position, and Aurelia doesn't fit into that at all. I feel bad for her. Richard was definitely a douchebag for separating her from their kids. |
