Miss Austen episode 2 spoilers: What lies ahead on PBS?

Following the premiere tonight on PBS, do you want to know a little bit more about Miss Austen episode 2? Of course, we are beyond curious for what is ahead.

First and foremost here, let’s just note that we understand fully that the name Jane Austen is one that is well-known to so many people out there. Yet, here is what is interesting: The miniseries is actually set after her passing, and it revolves around a number of other people who were a part of her life. This is a story about legacy and impact as much as the famed author.

To get some more details about the series itself, just check out the logline below for the premiere:

The year is 1830 and a letter arrives for Cassandra Austen, relaying that her dearest friend Eliza’s husband, Fulwar Fowle, now lies on his deathbed at Kintbury. Arriving unannounced, Cassandra is met with a cool reception at first but soon forms a bond with Fulwar’s daughter Isabella. In the days after Fulwar’s death, Cassandra finally finds an opportunity to search the house, and the object of her search is revealed: the letters Jane wrote to Eliza throughout their friendship. Cassandra is keen that her sister’s private correspondence should not fall into the wrong hands.

Meanwhile, the synopsis below gives you a sense of what is in episode 2:

Cassandra’s determination to keep Jane’s letters private is stronger than ever and is joined by a second objective: to secure a home for Isabella. Following a trip to town in hopes of helping Isabella, Cassandra begins to feel unwell, and the past comes crashing in with her recollections of the difficult years after her fiancé Tom’s death and the uncomfortable turn of events that followed at her brother’s grand estate in Kent.

There are only four episodes this season; by virtue of that, you have to prepare for things to move forward rather quickly in general!
