Olga Timeline and Summary

  • After grading papers, Olga hosts Irina's birthday party. She's got to look out for her baby sis, after all.
  • During the party, she kind of hangs out but isn't the life of the party or anything. Her drama certainly isn't at the center of the party.
  • An act later, Olga comes home late on carnival night, exhausted from filling in for the headmistress. Guess she doesn't like her job much, either.
  • Andrey lost a lot of money gambling. Olga is concerned about this.
  • After the fire, Olga helps organize clothes and other help for the victims. She may be a schoolmarm, but this lady's compassionate.
  • She gets into it with Natasha over whether to care for Anfisa (the old servant) or to get rid of her. Olga is all about keeping her on.
  • Olga advises Irina to marry the baron. It's okay that she doesn't love him, because that's just how the cookie crumbles.
  • Now headmistress, Olga takes Anfisa to live with her. She's not thrilled about it, but that's what you get.
  • As her own expression of regret during the moment the sisters share at the end, she cries, "If only we knew!" Which means that the audience automatically thinks the same.
