I have come to like this series very much. At first, I was expecting the story to follow the book. Instead, the writers have chosen to significantly change the plot, and why shouldn't they? Anne has been brought to the screen in other superb renditions.
Anne with an E has lovable characters and interesting plot twists. This episode is different. What makes the episode stick out like a sore thumb is the plot doesn't usually deviate from the era. It's like Anne walked into a 7-11 and got a slurpee. That party never would have happened that way. People were not openly gay then. You would have been publicly shunned for having or attending that event. Because it was so far fetched and didn't jive with the rest of the series, this episode was not as enjoyable for me.
