Dickinson Season 2 Is Nearly Upon Us! Everything to Remember About Season 1

George is a friend of Emily's, and they frequently spend time together in Shakespeare Club. Immediately, George expresses his love for Emily and constantly asks her to marry him — with her rejecting each time. One day, George asks Edward for Emily's hand in marriage, which upsets Emily greatly. She sends George off, and he begins dating someone else.

In the last episode, George makes one last plea for Emily. He tells her that he's going to California in search of gold, and he wants Emily to come with him. Once again, Emily rejects him, knowing that she'll never be the wife he wants her to be.
