I never thought I'd see a well-done recap episode. But lo, it stands before me. Hakim, while talking to Vivi and Arthur about/comparing William and Emma to Romeo and Juliet (which Vivi's reading), recaps the entire first season in under a half hour. He frequently breaks the fourth wall, much to Vivi and Arthur's confusion and my fangirly happiness, and Arthur explains things we may not be familiar with to Colin and a class of puppies and kitties. And apparently, a chance meeting that Emma had with a Lady Dorothea in Episode 12 at King's Cross is going to be the vehicle for Emma (who's now amaid in some other household) and William meeting again.

Nice recap, and sets up the second season nicely.
