This is one of Dickinson's best episodes as it really establishes the relationship between Emily and Sue or Emisue, as those who have seen the show call them. The episode starts with Emily and Sue sharing a bed, and it is clear that they are more than just friends. Emily is feeling sad knowing that Sue is now engaged to her brother Austin. However, now that the family has a maid, Emily has more time to herself to think and work on her poetry. When the girls learn that a volcano expert is going to lecture at the boy's school, Emily suggests that they dress up as boys and sneak in, as you would see in a Shakespeare play. And even though their disguises aren't very convincing, the girls seem to go unnoticed. However, things get out of hand when Emily realizes her feelings for Sue. This is Dickinson at its best. Hailee Steinfeld is once again perfect, like Emily, as she illustrates Emily's love and passion for knowledge. She also makes you appreciate the world we live in today, as it is crazy to think there was a time when women weren't allowed to go to school or study. Hailee and Ella Hunt also have amazing chemistry. The scene where they are dressing up as boys is so cute. And even in their male outfits, they looked amazing. It was also super funny that they weren't convincing at all. You read all these old plays when you are in school and see them in old cartoons where girls dress like boys, and you think that would never work in real life. So it was funny to see on screen. After all, you can dress her up however you want, but Hailee Steinfeld is Hailee Steinfeld. Also, the ending is one of the hottest scenes in the entire show. Overall, this is one of my favorite episodes because of Emisue.
