And two, I think it’s just another small detail that she has de-centered men from her life. ( or at least as much as a woman can in the 1800s). Men might like ‘loud, American’ girls now (which is debatable but eh whatever) but they still don’t like women who are BETTER than them. We can see the other girls, while trying to get married, put themselves down or play a meek, defenseless role to get attention. We even see it in Mabel in s1 when she is trying to get Miles to marry her to stay in London.

Theo…she should’ve told THEO she was pregnant??? The same man, that a few episodes ago, was down with using her as an incubator and then shipping her out. The same man that considered impregnating her and then separating her from that baby forever.

Even if we ignore the consent issue of the matter (because there IS an issue there). He knew Nan was separated from her own biological mother. He saw how she suffered from that. And, he still started to do it.

Sure, he stopped and realized it was a mistake. (Partly only after he couldn’t make himself believe that Nan actually wanted him, mind you… with that creepy ass ‘say you want me’ line) That doesn’t change that he still was going to do it in the first place.

She should’ve talked to that man? She should’ve felt safe enough with him to do that? She should have risked that his flimsy ass moral compass would hold up and she would have been able to see her baby? Even after he was willing to send her off? Really.
