Ep. 13 - Lydia Goes Down the Shore

Heads up: Content warning for sexual assult and predators…blame Wicham for all of these very serious discussions. Ugh, we hate him. As always feel free to skip this part if you’re not up for it. The discussion happens at the 35 minute mark and ends around minute 48. It’s not overly graphic or explicit but be aware and take care of yourself if you need to.
Back at home, Elizabeth confides in Jane about what happened at Rosings. Mrs. Bennet, Kitty, and Lydia are distraught that the regiment is leaving and want to follow them to Brighton. Lydia’s dreams come true when she gets an invite from the Colonel's wife Mrs. Forester to accompany her to Brighton. Elizabeth gives Wickham the cold shoulder. Elizabeth reflects on her parents' marriage and how it affects the family. Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner take Elizabeth on vacation to Derbyshire and contemplate visiting Pemberley.
We talk about loveless marriages and consult a law article on the patterns of sexual predators. Small tangent on the Jersey Shore (the beaches, not the show). Also how do you pronounce Derbyshire??
Next time: It’s a one chapter episode because  we’re going to Pemberley! Chapter 43
