What happened in 'A Gentleman in Moscow' Episode 2?
In 'A Gentleman in Moscow' Episode 2, Rostov meets with his old friend, Mikhail 'Mishka' Mindich (Fehinti Balogun), who has become a leader in the resistance against the Russian nobility in Moscow.
Before the revolution, Mishka expressed a desire to marry Rostov's sister, but Rostov objected because Mishka wasn’t from a Royal family.
In this episode, Rostov also parted ways from Nina Kulikova (Alexa Goodall) because she had to return to school after New Year's Eve.
