The Amateur Austenite

It's an awkward meeting between Lucy, Elinor and Edward

Elinor and Lucy get to meet their future mother in law

A very important toothpick case and an overly important brother who continues to shirk responsibility

Willoughby leaves, the Miss Steeles arrive and the Dashwood girls want to go home

Mrs Jennings goes forth to spread the news while Colonel Brandon has news of his own to share

Mrs Jennings has the goss on Willoughby's intended, Colonel Brandon isn't happy about it like she thinks he should be

A distraught Marianne writes to Willoughby, he finally writes back but it's not right

Willoughby reappears to reveal himself to have been a deceitful cad the entire time

The Middletons arrive in London, as does Willoughby, and Colonel Brandon has something to conceal

Marianne's in London, desperate to hear from Willoughby. Elinor's there too. We wish Mrs Jennings were a witch so she could curse people and use modern dating terms to refer to Willoughby's behaviour: toxic, ghosting, love bombing

Mrs Jennings invites the Dashwood girls to London, Elinor accepts to save Mrs Jennings from Marianne (and Marianne from herself)

Elinor and Lucy politely argue over Edward

Elinor reels with the news of Edward's engagement to Lucy and is determined to learn more

It's the one you've been waiting for! The first showdown between Elinor and Lucy. Rachel reckons Lucy won this round.

The Miss Steeles burst onto the Barton scene and make waves. Want to join a private one-on-one book club with Frances?
