Anne Shirley episode 2 brief recap
Titled I Love Pretty Things, the episode began with a clarification - the Cuthberts informed Anne that they would be keeping her. To give her a little push, Marilla told her that she needed to be a good girl and help with the chores. Thus began Anne's new life at Green Gables with the Cuthberts. The next morning, after helping with the chores, Anne visited the brook with Marilla's permission.
Meanwhile, the Cuthberts' neighbour, Rachel, came across to catch a glimpse of the new arrival. In this instance, Marilla and the lady began conversing, and the former informed Rachel of their decision. Even so, the lady was skeptical, and her interest grew when Anne returned. Upon getting a look at her, she called the little girl skinny, homely, and a regular patch carrot, given her red hair.
This seemed to anger Anne quite a bit, who lashed out with tears in her eyes. Before things got worse, Marilla sent the girl to her room while she told off Rachel as well. Later, she reprimanded Anne, asking her to apologize to Rachel.
However, Anne was against doing so. The next morning, Matthew visited Anne's room and encouraged her to have it done. The old man's request was enough to change her mind.
As they arrived, Rachel was sitting on the porch knitting. With a deep breath, Anne put up a very dramatic apology, to say the least. The embarrassment was visible on Marilla's face as Anne continued to voice her apology. Likely amused but hiding it, Rachel forgave the girl and spoke of how she had known a redhead whose red hair turned auburn, making Anne's face light up with hope.
On the way home, Anne expressed how happy she was to live at Green Gables and finally have a home. Things were softening between the old woman and the little redhead. The next morning, Marilla had Anne visit their church on her own. On the way, the latter picked out flowers and decked her hat. But upon returning home, Marilla was unhappy because she made herself seem ridiculous.
A little discussion later, Marilla and Anne were off to meet the Barrys. Anne was nervous about the kind of person Diana Barry, her to-be best friend, would be. Needless to mention, the girls loved each other the moment they met. They even pledged to be each other's bosom friends, with an oath and all. The episode ended with a happy Anne and Marilla stating that she was glad to have kept her.
What to expect from Anne Shirley episode 3 (speculative)
Anne Shirley episode 3 will be titled "Looking Forward To Things Is Only Half The Pleasure Of Them" and should introduce one more character to complete the trio in the series. This third individual will be Gilbert Blythe, a handsome and smart young boy who is extremely popular at the school.
With Anne and Diana's friendship now established, it is Gilbert's turn to be added to the mix. He, too, may start out by going after Anne's red hair and her appearance. All this will soon mean nothing, meaning the pair bond and in turn the trio, with Anne being the crucial link that keeps them together.
