- Mrs. Bennet's brother and his wife, the Gardiners, arrive at Longbourn for a visit.
- The Gardiners are awesome. Mrs. Gardiner talks to Lizzy about Jane, who isn't the type of girl to recover easily from the Mr. Bingley letdown. What about a change of scene? Would Jane like to come and stay with them in London for a while?
- Mrs. Gardiner also notices the attraction between Elizabeth and Wickham and thinks it's kind of a problem.
