Accompanied by Peggy Scott, an accomplished African-American woman, Marian inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old money set, and her stupendously rich neighbors, a ruthless railroad tycoon and his ambitious wife, George and Bertha Russell.In this exciting new world that is on the brink of the modern age, will Marian follow the established rules of society, or forge her own path? Season 2 premiere, "You Don't Even Like Opera": Agnes shares news of her nephew Dashiell's imminent arrival in New York; Bertha decides to back the new Metropolitan Opera House. Aired on HBO.
