Spoilers for 'Dickinson'

In Season 2 Episode 4 titled 'The Daisy Follows Soft the Sun' we saw Emily Dickinson (Hailee Steinfeld) suffer from a bit of writer's block. While birdwatching with Edward Dickinson (Toby Huss), she meets landscape artist Frederick Law Olmsted (Timothy Simons) and is impressed with his creative process. We also saw her not completely loving the fact that Sam Bowles (Finn Jones) loves her poem and is going to publish it in his newspaper. The reason behind this we all know is that she isn't too keen on becoming famous as of yet, and she doesn't know how that will affect her writing. She is being too hard on herself and is also very nervous that Sam won't like her poem. The next episode though might show a different side to Emily's attitude as Season 2 Episode 5 is titled 'Forbidden Fruit A Flavor Has'.

'Forbidden Fruit A Flavor Has' airs on Friday, January 22, 2021, at 12 am PT on Apple TV+. You can catch up on the first four episodes of Season 2 — 'Before I got my eye put out', 'Fame is a Fickle Food', 'The Only Ghost I Ever Saw' and 'The Daisy Follows Soft The Sun' — on the same platform.

What is 'Forbidden Fruit A Flavor Has' about?

The synopsis of the episode reads: "When she learns that Sam plans to publish her poem, Emily embraces being his latest discovery while attending one of Sue’s salons." So far Emily has been struggling with the idea of fame, so this upcoming episode may bring a different aspect to how she perceived it. With the synopsis saying that the poet will "embrace" being Sam's latest discovery, we wonder if she's made a decision on fame, and if so, how is she going to deal with it? We're also waiting on the Sue storyline, she was not keen with Austin offering to adopt the Newman girls as he's ready to be the greatest cousin/stepdad.

Catch 'Dickinson' Season 2 Episode 5 'Forbidden Fruit A Flavor Has' on Friday, January 22, 2021, at 12 am PT, on Apple TV+.
