The Best Revenge is Dressing Well! What can I say? The absolute genius of the two complimentary plot lines which come together in the end, and the multiple levels on which the story is working!!
Without giving away too much, this episode deals with the topics of identity, race, sexuality and class as our main characters attempt to "mingle" with white aristocracy in the 1700s.
There is a LOT going on, and the layers of meaning and commentary that is present in such a rollicking comedic episode blows me away.
This episode is also the start of the main romance of the series, which is gentle and sweet, and wholly unexpected.
