Anne with an “E” Recap: Episode 4
An Inward Treasure Born directed by David Evans
(Or: Feminism 101)
Honesty is the best not-actually-a-policy, Anne
The whole quote that the title came from goes: I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give.
Every title is a Jane Eyre quote that Anne must have memorized before she turned to fire safety manuals for reading.
Right from the get go we have to put our thinking caps on! We both agreed that this quote is about doing what you think is right but we disagreed about what it meant specifically in this episode.
Here is the humor article Susan was talking about answering questions with Jane Eyre quotes. Washington Post article about Jane Eyre quotes.
Today’s snack: Susan (‘s daughter) made shortbread and Beckett made Poetical Egg Salad Sandwiches with an “E” because the recipe was only an inspiration for the final product.
We’re cooking our way through this.
If you click just one link from these shownotes (it’s cool, you won’t hurt our feelings– we put this stuff up because people’s interests vary) it should be this delightful look into the creation of the credit sequence–Buzzfeed Here’s How They Made The Stunning “Anne with an E” opening credits.
Here is more work by the artists–Brad Kunkle, and here is more analysis at Exploring Anne Tumblr (May 31st entry has the credit sequence analysis.)

What’s a road apple? Uuuuummm, probably not this, but this is pretty….and smells nice.

Justification for the scatterbrained set. Elite Daily based on a Time article.
Yeah, that’s a pretty cool light fixture. Three cheers for the design department!
Anne was being strong and bold and questionably smart…the ladies on the Gillis yard freak out because of it. (As they should!)
I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy asking him if he wants a biscuit. (“Have a biscuit, Potter.”)
I’m just a boy, standing in front of a girl trying to get the other girl to notice me. Also, I’m flipping adorable…and chivalrous.
