"Close Companions" is a modern take on queer romance in the Regency era. Charlotte and Willa are young women on the cusp of being presented to society, yet neither is particularly interested in the life that’s expected of them. When they’re paired for painting lessons, they find kinship in their shared independent streak and pay more attention to each other than the feminine arts. As they grow closer, they get bolder in the risks they’ll take to be together…

In this episode, friendship blossoms between Charlotte and Willa during their spring painting lessons. Their instructor is ornery and distracted, giving them many stolen moments to laugh and grow closer. Charlotte isn’t convinced that Willa is feeling what she’s feeling until a welcome inconvenience forces them to share a bedroom.
