The audience is left wondering how Higginson will respond to this pressure.
“We can’t wait any longer,” he announces at the end of the episode. The Wall mentions how scared he is by what awaits them if they can’t protect themselves, but Henry refuses to be trapped in this cycle. Higginson isn’t a bad person, nevertheless, he represents those who have their hands tied by power structures and don’t act beyond the flowery language and empty promises. It doesn’t matter, because even though the battle is heading in their direction the weapons they long to hold are still out of reach. Cue the makeover montage and when Higginson performs the routine inspection he is surprised and touched by their efforts. Henry's sewing skills can’t mend a broken community or heart, but he believes he can fix their garments.
Henry is told “one inspection could make all the difference,” and he passes this good news onto the men.Ĭhinaza Uche and Gabriel Ebert in 'Dickinson' season 3 (Image credit: Apple TV+) Higginson (Gabriel Ebert) uses his customary cringe greeting - he can’t stop saying “brother” - and asks Henry to postpone class so he can get the troops ready for a vital uniform check. The First South Carolina Volunteers has been tasked with repeating the same pointless drills and uniform inspections, and even when they do break the cycle it isn’t enough. In this third season, Henry (Chinaza Uche) has found himself stuck between those in power making promises they can’t keep and men who want a fighting chance at freedom. Mental health is central to “A Little Madness in the Spring” in that patented Dickinson fashion, which reflects practices from the past while shining a light on modern maladies.
The idea that doing something over and over again and expecting different results is a definition of insanity is often misattributed to Albert Einstein, but truth can still be found within this sentiment.
