The girls are introduced to the hunkalicious George Wickham. OMG he is so hot! The girls can’t get enough of him and amazingly he can’t get enough of our Elizabeth. They have a super awkward interaction with Mr. Darcy and it is evident that Darcy hates Wickham’s guts. At a dinner party, George explains to Elizabeth what went down with Darcy. Here is a summary of that:
- Wickham grew up around the Darcy household.
- The late Mr. Darcy (our Darcy’s daddy) was very fond of Wickham and wanted to help him out with money.
- When he died, he left Wickham a giant chunk of bills but Darcy swooped in and took it all away.
- Poor Wickham was forced to join the army rather than live lavishly with all that inherited cash.
Elizabeth tells Jane all this and the two of them start wondering how someone as awesome as Bingley could tolerate a wicked dude like Darcy. Elizabeth and the Bennets attend a ball where Wickham also was supposed to be. Elizabeth was looking forward to seeing Wickham there but he was a no show (obviously because snarky pants Darcy was there). It is revealed that Darcy is somehow related to Lady Catherine de Bourgh and knows her as an aunty. There is a little twinge of jealously between Darcy as Elizabeth is forced into dancing the first two dances with Collins. But, Mr. Collins is too wrapped up in the environment to notice Darcy’s grudging attitude.
