 | The Sloper home on Washington Square. The head servant Mary O'Connor (Rayah Martin) opens the curtains. |
|  |
| Dr. Austin Sloper (Konrad Rogowski) gives Mary last-minute instructions before the guests arrive. | Austin's sister Lavinia Penniman (Karen Balaska) delights in all she has seen so far on her trip to visit her brother. Austin invites her to spend the winter. |
| Dr. Sloper's daughter Catherine (Brianna Stronk) shows her aunt her new dress. Lavinia praises it, but the doctor thinks that whereas her mother could pull off wearing a dress of that color, Catherine cannot. |
 | |
| Lavinia and Austin frame the next generation: Arthur Townsend (Joshua Guenter), betrothed to Austin's niece Marian Almond (Ashley Graham), Catherine, and Arthur's cousin Morris Townsend (Mark Ohanesian) who, it seems, is very taken with Catherine. | |
 |
 |
| With Lavinia and the young folk in the parlor, Dr. Sloper tells his other sister Elizabeth Almond (Laura Randall) that he is extremely disappointed that Catherine is so un-like her mother. | Dr. Sloper disapproves of the amount of time Morris spends with Catherine. He considers Morris a fortune-hunter and is not shy about saying so. |
|
 |
| Morris is undetered and overwhelms Catherine by asking her to marry him. | Catherine shares the good news with her aunt Lavinia. |
|
 |
| Lavinia is thrilled by this announcement. The doctor is not. | He tries to dissuade his daughter, saying he is only looking out for her interests. |
| |
| In order to confirm his suspicions, Dr. Sloper requests the presence of Morris' sister Mrs. Montgomery (Kelly Seip) to learn how Morris conducts his financial affairs. | |
