Chapter 16: Dinner party at Mrs. Philips' house. Wickham arrives, and Molly postulates that perhaps Lizzy might have a croosh. DARCY/WICKHAM DRAMA!!! We get into the depths of using the TITULAR WORDS. We find out Darcy is related to the de Bourghs, and there are wedding bells in his future with Baby DB. Highlights include: Sir Kenneth Branagh (and a shout out to Potterless), Lydia, Darcy and Wickham as Ross and Rachel, a burn tally for Darcy, the Shire, can we trust Downton Abbey?Chapter 17: Lizzy tells Jane what's happened, and Jane remains infuriatingly impartial. Bingley and his sisters invite everyone to a ball at Netherfield! Even Collins is excited and hopes that Lizzy will dance with him. OH NO. He wants to marry her. Highlights include: I Wanna Dance with Somebody, Mary as a lesbian in Williamsburg.Chapter 18: The day of the ball! Wickham is NOT there. Darcy asks Lizzy to dance and Molly, unfortunately, begins shipping Lizzy and Darcy. Lizzy brings up Wickham just to stir the pot. Caroline tries to get involved. Collins decides he MUST introduce himself to Darcy on account of his connections to Lady Katie DB. We have an Embarrass Lizzy Festival including a song from Mary and a speech from Collins. Highlights include: Colin Firth and Prejudice, dancing as a metaphor for bad sex, Harry and Hermione fanfiction, Collins as Peter the Great (Monument to Peter I at Peter and Paul Fortress in St. Petersburg), a very drunk Mrs. Bennet, and an in depth discussion of the Golden Shower (Danae and Zeus). Molly learns that nowadays golden shower means something very different from the sperm of the gods.Please note: Our audio producer Graham pointed out that it was neither American Idol nor the X-Factor that has the golden buzzer--it's America's Got Talent.Study Questions:Wickham vs. Darcy: Molly likes Wickham but doesn't trust him yet. Molly wants Lizzy to bang them both but she's now #prodizzy.Love triangles: Darcy and Wickham love Lizzy and loathe each other. Darcy has Baby DB and Caroline. Mr. Collins just really wants to be a part of it all. We will be posting a picture of this chart on our Instagram.Class struggles: Darcy is the most classist person in the book so far, and that colors his relationships with everyone, especially Wickham.Dancing: The first TOUCH. Molly compares the rules of courting in this time period to the thin walls of Chekhov's estate.Bennet family yikes: Lizzy is more concerned for Jane than she is for herself.The de BOURGHS: All of the plots converged on each other. Catherine de Bourgh is Darcy's aunt and Baby de Bourgh is his cousin. Becca points out that this prearranged marriage is intended to keep the fortune in the family. (Quick plug of Molly's poetry Instagram.) Molly notes that the de Bourgh's clergyman is Collins who's equally trying to marry his own cousin. At this point, Molly thinks Lizzy doesn't really have a choice but to marry Mr. Collins.We think maybe Wickham could be played by a young Christian Bale circa Midsummer Night's Dream directed by Kenneth Branagh, or maybe Heath Ledger circa 10 Things I Hate About You.Funniest quote: Jane: "It is difficult indeed. It is difficult indeed. It is distressing. One does not know what to think." Lizzy: "I beg your pardon. One knows exactly what to think." (Molly is Jane and Becca is Lizzy).Biggest question: Does Darcy know he's engaged to Baby DB?Who wins the chapters? DARCYYYYYY!!!!??????Support for Pod and Prejudices comes from Well Read Company.

The chapters that break Molly's brain. We go with three chapters instead of four this week, as these are MEATY chapters.Chapter 13: Guess who's coming to dinner? It's Mr. Collins, the man to whom Longbourn is entailed. Check out some info on entails/fee-tails here. We also dig into the Anglican church. We don't love Collins's motices for coming to visit. Highlights include: filial scruples, Becca's Collins impersonation, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Simple Plan, women staying out of the kitchen, and full-hard incest.Chapter 14: Casual not-tense-at-all dinner conversation. Highlights include Mr. Collins as Tahani Al-Jamil, Baby de Bourgh's low Dungeons and Dragons score, Fordyce's Sermons, and Becca's career in audiobook narration.Chapter 15: Being in possession of a good fortune, Mr. Collins is now in want of a wife. We follow the girls to Meryton and meet TWO MORE new characters--Wickham and Mrs. Phillips. There's some tension between Wickham and Darcy that even Jane notices. Highlights include: Molly discovers Pride and Prejudice was written in 2013, Pompous Nothings and Civil Assents, Darcy and Bingley on a horse (together), Mary's bug collection, and Mulan.Study Questions:Collins, Wickham, and Mrs. Phillips: Wickham is full of potential, Collins is their annoying cousin, and Mrs. Phillips is Molly's new favorite character.Lady Catherine de Bourgh and her daughter: Molly guesses that Baby de Bourgh is going to be competition for the Bennet girls. She is currently shipping Collins and Baby de Bourgh. She thinks Catherine de Bourgh would be played by Gwenyth Paltrow.The face of the inheritance drama: We are STRESSED that one of the daughters may have to marry Collins to keep their estate. Molly does not hate him.Darcy and Wickham--what's UP? Is it a feud over a woman? Is it a feud over money? Molly starts by guessing that they're distant relatives whose families have been feuding for decades, then decides Wickham stole Darcy's girlfriend when they were in high school.What's gonna happen at dinner? Kydia will be in heaven with all the officers. Molly predicts that Wickham and Jane are gonna get it on while Bingley is away.Funniest quote: Collins says, "They arise chiefly from what is passing at the time, and though I sometimes amuse myself with suggesting and arranging such little elegant compliments as may be adapted to ordinary occasions, I always wish to give them as unstudied an air as possible."Biggest question: What the fuck happened between Darcy and Wickham???Who wins the chapters?

Chapter 9: Jane is feeling better. Mrs. Bennet and Kydia come to visit and determine that Jane isn't well enough to leave Netherfield. Mrs. Bennet and Darcy duke it out over the merits of country vs. town, among other things. Lydia requests a ball at Netherfield. Highlights include: we're still anti-Darcy, Lydia's age, dancing balls, and singing valentines.Chapter 10: Evening parlour time. DOES CAROLINE HAVE A CROOSH?? Bingley makes fun of Darcy for being a try hard. Darcy just stares at Lizzy. Caroline and Darcy go for a walk, and she tries to talk shit about Lizzy to him. Highlights include: Nathan Pyle, did you write Pride and Prejudice? Leanne, Molly's 7th grade history teacher, four-syllable words, the power of friendship, more Mean Girls references, and the danger of love.Chapter 11: Jane comes downstairs! Bingley attends only to her, while Caroline reads over Darcy's shoulder. They discuss the ball, and Caroline tries (and fails) to show off for Darcy. Lizzy wants to poke fun at him, but Darcy admits to his shortcomings. Highlights include: white soup, vanity vs. pride, and Fitzwilliam?!?Chapter 12: Lizzy begs her mom to let them come home, but Mrs. B won't have it. They plan instead to borrow Bingley's carriage the next day. Darcy changes tactics in a STUPID way. Mr. Bennet is happy his smart daughters are home. Highlights include: Waiting for you is like waiting for rain in this drought, useless and disappointing.Study Questions:Mrs. Bennet vs. Darcy: He's behaving like her punching bag. She's holding a grudge and not holding her tongue.Bingley and Jane: Lizzy approves. We've gotten a lot about how Bingley feels but not much about how Jane feels.Bingley's faults: He's soft, he's sweet, but he doesn't want to be affected by things. He doesn't want to feel too deeply or get attached to any place. He lacks a sense of self.Caroline's CROOSH: Maybe she thinks she's impressing him by being the worst.Darcy's CROOSH: Molly is prejudiced against Darcy because he's a rich, tall man who has trouble moving beyond social status.Funniest quote: "I wonder who first discovered the efficacy of poetry in driving away love."Question moving forward: The Bingley sisters are fucking shit up. How will Caroline and Lizzy's relationship develop? What's next now that they're home?Who wins the chapters? Caroline loses so hard she wins.Open invitation to Lizzo to come on the show!Support for Pod and Prejudices comes from Well Read Company.
