- Things look very bad for Wickham as Hardcastle learns that he fathered Louisa's baby under a false name with the same initials as Fitzwilliam Darcy. Meanwhile Louisa tells Elizabeth that Denny was arranging for her to have the baby adopted by the woman seen in the woods - although Louisa refused - and that Fitzwilliam was listening to them. Wickham goes for trial, defended by Alveston - who will later marry Georgina. To the horror of snobbish patroness Lady Catherine De Bourgh Darcy goes to give evidence for Wickham, seeing the woman from the woods, who he recognizes as Mrs Younge, the old governess of Georgiana who turned out to be an accomplice of Wickham. Now she turns out to be Wickham's sister. The jury return a guilty verdict but Elizabeth is not convinced and conducts her own investigation to find out who really killed Martin Denny.—don @ minifie-1
- With Wickham in jail awaiting trial, he admits to Darcy that he is the father of Louisa Bidwell's child. Louisa tells Elizabeth that on the morning of the murder she had met Captain Denny and a woman - the same woman Elizabeth and some of the housemaids had seen in the woods - who would adopt the baby. Louisa changed her mind at the last moment however. She also saw Colonel Fitzwilliam at the abbey that morning. Sir Selwyn Hardcastle becomes aware that Wickham is the father of Louisa Bidwell's child and seems intent on using that information at the trial. Fitzwilliam soon falls out of favor and after Wickham is found guilty and sentenced to hang, it's left to Elizabeth to uncover the identity of the true killer.—garykmcd
