Lady Penwood quickly begins questioning Violet about Benedict's marriage prospects, but during the tense conversation, several viewers' attention drifted to Araminta's jewelry. In addition to her earrings, fans noticed an adhesive bandage covering the corner of actor Katie Leung's left ear where a cartilage piercing might be. "Band-Aids in this era?! 👀 The ton want to know," one fan said on TikTok. As another commented, "Yeah, I wish they had covered it better - like put a fancy ear cuff up there or something."
But I wonder what happens next? History, that's what! But to explain the history that is about to happen we must first go back a bit to, a caption informs us, years earlier. This is a little after bygone times, a bit before days of yore and, as it appears that Edward the Confessor (Eddie Marsan, having the time of his life playing the last monarch of the house of Wessex as a religious fanatic) is about to be crowned, probably around 1043.
