00:00It's so fun to watch Ada kind of really assert her power this season, even in the smallest of
00:05ways, be it the curtains, become the sticking point. What do things like the curtains and
00:09changing them mean for Ada? You have no experience of hiring staff. I'll follow my own instincts.
00:17The same instincts that plan to replace my curtains? They don't even make tassels like
00:22that anymore. I'm well aware. I mean, I think that if you think back to Ada in the first season,
00:28or second season, I think this is a woman who had to, in order to survive, had to stay on
00:37her
00:37sister's good side and have to always be deferential and always play the long game and never antagonize,
00:44never go so far as to antagonize. And so now she's feeling herself a little more. She's feeling her
00:53wealth. She's feeling her power. And she is experimenting, as you say, in small ways and in
00:58bigger ways with her own, listening to her own opinion, even if it contradicts what those around
01:06her with more experience are telling her. And I think she was good. The drapes, that was a win.
01:11I think hiring the new, somewhat incompetent, talkative footman, perhaps not the wisest,
01:18but she saw something in him that she liked and believed in. And I think she saw a version of
01:25herself, someone with great potential who wasn't there yet, but was going to get there.
