Ep 6. The Silk Dress and the Ragged Dress

Oscar is settling into her new role as Commander of the Royal Guard, but her childhood friend André is struggling to accept the changes in their relationship. Meanwhile, at the palace, tensions are rising as the nobility prepare for an upcoming ball.

When the seamstresses tasked with creating dresses for the ball present the queen with two vastly different designs - one luxurious and the other simple - she is torn between her desire for opulence and her sympathy for those suffering in the ongoing famine.

As the ball approaches, Oscar must navigate the complex politics of court while dealing with the fallout of her romantic entanglements. Meanwhile, tensions between the poor and the wealthy come to a head when a group of beggars storm the palace gates, demanding justice for their suffering.

In the end, the contrast between the Silk Dress and the Ragged Dress serves as a poignant reminder of the growing divide between the nobility and the common people of France. Can Oscar find a way to bridge the gap before it's too late?
