'Miss Scarlet & The Duke' Season 1, Episode 4 Recap: "Memento Mori"
This week's Miss Scarlet & The Duke kicks off a mere day or so after the events of "Deeds Not Words" and Eliza's successful bringing down of a bomb plot to take out Parliament. It's also the moment when she realizes that Duke is no help to her. When the story reaches the papers, he's the one taking all the credit for her work, driving home the accusation that she's just letting men use her. It's a blow to Rupert too, who was hoping his investment might pay dividends or at least upset his mother.
Eliza is so frustrated she blows off the kindly Herr Hildegard (Richard Evans) instead of her usual impatiently polite stance. But the wily old undertaker has an ace up his sleeve, mentioning a case that's right up her alley.
Eliza: Oh, you're facing prejudice in your chosen career? What must that be like?
