Summary
There was another pop-up scam that rocked the fans of Bridgerton when they showed up for what they thought was a Victorian-era dance, but got flourescent lighting, an exotic dancer, and absolutely nothing Victorian. These are a treat. Sarah demoans a marble art installation that was smashed to bits by a "performance artist" for the hell of it and ancient sketches in the dessert were destroyed by off-roaders. People are the worst. But we learn about an art concept that involves counting rice that Sarah can't quit thinking about, and we decided it is a great metaphor for so many aspects of life. Sarah turns the tables and teaches Susie about a religious phenomenon involving remote islands that experienced WWII soldiers bringing rations and other resources, but mistook them for divine beings. We learn why these groups have built a religious framework around them that still persists today.
