This second episode has a couple focuses. The first is the effort by Matthew Cuthbert to find Anne and bring her back home, risking life and limb in the process. She has been sent away, accused of a theft she did not commit. She has hardened herself. When she gets to the orphanage, she feels the ghost of the mistreatment she suffered there. The second has to do with her dealing with Marilla, who refuses to apologize for her part in this intense situation. When she is finally back, she realizes quickly that her social status is questionable. She has befriended a little girl from a rich family, and while the girl has no prejudice toward her, the mother, a virago, is sure her little girl will be contaminated. The other kids at a picnic are equally cruel to her. This leads to an extremely emotional scene. I'm curious to see where the next actions take us.
