With her sister Jane laid up in bed with a cold, Lizzy becomes better acquainted with Mr Darcy, pushing back at his unrealistic expectations of the accomplishments a young woman should have mastered. But the more she resists him, the more Darcy seems to admire her - much to the irritation of Bingley's sister Caroline.
The next morning, it's a full house of Bennets at Netherfield, as the girls' mother appears with her remaining three daughters in tow. Lizzy cringes at the impression her embarrassing family must be making on Bingley... and, perhaps more to the point, on Darcy too.
