The Ton looks mighty different.

You could almost taste the signature Shonda Rhimes magic in its vibrancy, its tonality; in the intoxicating way it absorbed you into the drama.

"We had no choice," Charlotte's brother and guardian Adolphus almost shouts whilst simultaneously pleading for understanding in his tone."I know that no one who looks like you or me has ever married one of these people, ever, but I cannot question because I cannot make an enemy of the most powerful nation on earth."The echoes of enslavement that began with Charlotte questioning her betrothal now ring crisply with threatening power of the empire.

The symbolism is crystal clear: Charlotte is not Charlotte anymore, she is a slave at a chattel market. Augusta might as well have stretched apart her lips for further inspection."Hands," she orders and Charlotte turns them over under the princess' scrutiny. And just like that Charlotte has passed her MOT check. That is until Augusta crudely licks her own thumb and attempts to rub the Blackness from Charlotte's cheekbone.

However this one scene encapsulates the perception of non-whites in the wider community in this sector of the Bridgiverse world. It also sets the tone for what's to follow.
