SO YOUNG PRINCESS VICTORIA

WAS KEPT AWAY
FROM OTHER CHILDREN.

AND THIS LITTLE
KING CHARLES SPANIEL

WAS HER FAVORITE.

HIS NAME WAS DASH,

AND SHE WROTE IN HER JOURNAL

ABOUT HOW MUCH
HE MEANT TO HER...

IMAGINE GROWING UP
IN A BIG CASTLE,

ALONE MOST OF THE TIME,

AND THEN, SUDDENLY,
AT ONLY 18 YEARS OLD,

YOU'RE CROWNED
THE NEXT QUEEN OF ENGLAND.

BECAUSE THAT IS
YOUR HOMEWORK FOR TONIGHT.

YOU WILL WRITE
A 300-WORD JOURNAL ENTRY

FROM THE POINT OF VIEW
OF QUEEN VICTORIA

IN 1837.

OKAY, AND EXTRA CREDIT

IF YOU INCLUDE DASH
IN YOUR ENTRY!

UH-UH, JOE?

SIT BACK DOWN, PLEASE.

I HAVE
LACROSSE PRACTICE.

WE TALKED ABOUT THIS.

YOU NEED A PASSING GRADE

IN ORDER TO STAY ON THE TEAM.

GO ON TO PRACTICE NOW, SON.

OH, I'M SORRY MR. MARKHAM,
BUT HE WASN'T DISMISSED YET.

OH, I THINK THE ADULTS
SHOULD BE ABLE TO WORK THIS OUT,

NOW, DON'T YOU?

JOE SEEMS TO
HAVE THIS IDEA

THAT YOU THREATENED

TO HAVE HIM BANNED
FROM THE LACROSSE TEAM.

OH, OF COURSE,
I NEVER SAID THAT.

I OFFERED EXTRA HELP

SO HE WON'T GET SUSPENDED
FROM THE TEAM.

YOU KNOW
THEY WOULDN'T SUSPEND HIM.

HE'S THE BEST PLAYER
ON THE TEAM.

WELL, SCHOOL RULES SAY

THAT A STUDENT NEEDS
A PASSING GRADE

IN ORDER
TO PLAY SPORTS.

WELL, MISS SCOTT,

THEN YOU OBVIOUSLY
NEED TO PASS HIM.

JOE NEEDS TO EARN HIS GRADE.

HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT?

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.

PEOPLE LIKE YOU
ALWAYS HAVE A PRICE.

HOW MUCH IS YOURS?

THE GRADES AT THIS SCHOOL
ARE NOT FOR SALE.

DO I NEED TO REMIND YOU

THAT MY WIFE SITS ON THE BOARD
OF THIS SCHOOL?

AND I'M SURE
SHE WOULD LIKE THE STUDENTS

TO RECEIVE THE EDUCATION
THEY'VE PAID FOR--

ESPECIALLY HER OWN SON.

YOU SEEM TO BE CONFUSED
ABOUT HOW THINGS WORK HERE.

BUT YOU'RE
GOING TO LEARN.

I PROMISE YOU.

BLISS?

OH, I'M HAPPY TO SEE YOU, TOO!

M'WAH.

OH...

IT'S BEEN QUITE THE DAY,
BLISS-Y.

HOW ABOUT YOU TAKE ME
FOR A WALK?

GOOD GIRL.

WE ARE GONNA DO SO WELL
AT THAT SHOW, YOUNG LADY.

SO, I DON'T KNOW

IF JOE'S DAD WAS TRYING
TO RATTLE ME, OR WHAT.

OH, I'M SURE HE WAS JUST
PUFFING OUT HIS CHEST.

WHAT DID YOU SAY
HIS NAME WAS AGAIN?

GRANT MARKHAM.

I'LL LOOK HIM UP.

MOM, THESE
INVOICES ARE READY.

LIZZIE...

WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE
YOU DOING TO BLISS?

HAND STACKING.

I HAVE TO TEACH HER
TO HOLD THIS POSITION

IN DIFFERENT PLACES,
AROUND DIFFERENT PEOPLE,

SO WE'RE READY FOR
OUR BIG SHOW ON SATURDAY.

A DOG SHOW IS NO PLACE
TO SPEND YOUR BIRTHDAY.

BUT THE SHOW IS
SO MUCH FUN,

AND IT'S...

LIKE A PARTY.

I WANT TO INVITE
THE BEST MAN

FROM THE SMITH WEDDING.

HE'S AN INVESTMENT BANKER.

HE IS SO--

MOM.

YOU PROMISED.

NO MORE TRYING TO FIX ME UP.

I'M HAPPY

ON MY OWN.

OKAY, HERE HE IS.

GRANT MARKHAM.

HE IS A LOBBYIST
FOR WALL STREET.

OH...

THOSE GUYS REALLY DO

LIKE TO GET
THEIR OWN WAY.

HE WON'T GET
HIS WAY THIS TIME.

I'M SUSPENDED?

BECAUSE GRANT MARKHAM
COMPLAINED ABOUT ME?

THAT DOESN'T SEEM
REASONABLE.

IT'S A FORMALITY.

MANY PRIVATE SCHOOLS
DO THE SAME.

IT PROTECTS THE STUDENTS,

AND GIVES THE BOARD THE CHANCE
TO INVESTIGATE THE COMPLAINT.

DON'T YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?

I DON'T WANT TO GET
IN THE MIDDLE

-OF A HE SAID/
-SHE SAID.

THAT'S WHAT
THE INVESTIGATION IS FOR.

DR. THURSTON,
DOESN'T THE TRUTH MATTER?

OF COURSE, IT MATTERS.

AND YOU'RE A GOOD TEACHER,
ELIZABETH.

THE STUDENTS LIKE YOU.

TRY TO TRUST THE PROCESS.

ALL I KNOW IS,

IF I'D JUST BEEN
PRACTICALLY LAID OFF,

I'D BE AT HOME IN BED
WITH A GALLON OF ICE CREAM.

THIS IS WHERE
I WANT TO BE--

WITH SWEET,
UNCOMPLICATED CANINES.

DOGS DON'T CARE
ABOUT MONEY.

THEY DON'T TRY TO
MANIPULATE PEOPLE.

THEY'RE JUST PURE SOULS.

HEY?

AND YOU CAN BRUSH THEM
AND MAKE THEM ALL PRETTY...

I'M GOING TO GO
TO THE COFFEE PLACE

AROUND THE CORNER.

I WILL GET YOU
A BIRTHDAY LATTE.

AH...

OKAY, WELL, MY GROUP
IS IN 20 MINUTES.

I WON'T MISS IT,
I PROMISE.

GOOD LUCK, BLISS.

YOU DON'T NEED LUCK, DO YOU?

YOU ARE GONNA MELT THEIR HEARTS.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

A NEW JUDGE.

WE HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM HIM.

DONOVAN DARCY.

YOU HAVEN'T
HEARD OF HIM?

GABRIELLE?

LIZZIE!

OH, MY GOSH.

WHAT HAS IT BEEN,
THREE OR FOUR YEARS NOW?

DOES MY MOTHER KNOW
YOU'RE IN TOWN?

NOT YET.

I'M SHOWING MY TERRIER,
ROSE, TODAY.

I WOULD HAVE BEEN
SHOWING BLOSSOM,

BUT MY HANDLER BROKE HER LEG,

POOR THING.

OH, I'M SO SORRY.

SO, YOU KNOW THIS JUDGE?

YES,

AND YOU'RE LUCKY
TO GET HIM.

HE'S ONE OF THE BEST JUDGES
IN NEW YORK--

WHEN HE HAS TIME, THAT IS.

HE RUNS HIS OWN FOUNDATION.

THEY GIVE AWAY
MILLIONS

EVERY YEAR.

OH!

THERE HE IS NOW.

INTERESTING THAT HE'S
JUDGING YOUR GROUP TODAY.

HE ALMOST ALWAYS JUDGES
THE TERRIERS AT HOME.

A SIGHT TO BEHOLD,
ISN'T HE?

LIZ?

I'M GOOD.

HE'S ALMOST TOO PRETTY.

NUMBER EIGHT...

LOOK HOW HE'S TALKING
TO THOSE PEOPLE.

UP AND BACK, PLEASE.

HE LOOKS
A LITTLE ARROGANT TO ME.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT HE'S SAYING.

NUMBER EIGHT...

GIVE HIM A CHANCE.
MAYBE HE'S SUPER NICE.

WHERE IS EIGHT?

NUMBER EIGHT.

ELIZABETH!

AREN'T YOU
NUMBER EIGHT?

THEY'VE BEEN
CALLING YOU.

OH.

OH!

NUMBER EIGHT?

YOU'RE LATE.

GUILTY.

DOES THAT MEAN
YOU TAKE OFF POINTS?

IS THERE SOMETHING
THAT IS PREVENTING YOU

FROM ENTERING THE RING NOW,

OR DO I NEED TO HAVE
AN INVITATION ENGRAVED FOR YOU?

SORRY.

ON THE PLATFORM, PLEASE.

YOU'RE JUST SO SERIOUS.

I DO TAKE THESE
RESPONSIBILITIES SERIOUSLY.

MOST HANDLERS APPRECIATE THAT.

MOST JUDGES CRACK A SMILE
NOW AND THEN.

I ASSUME THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT YOU LOVE.

UP AND BACK, PLEASE.

FINE EYES.

A SHAME ABOUT THE FRECKLES.

I WAS REFERRING TO THE DOG.

THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING.

IF YOU ARE CONFUSED

ABOUT THE WAY THINGS
ARE DONE IN THE RING,

I PROMISE YOU'LL LEARN.

YOU DID AWESOME,

OR AT LEAST BLISS DID.

YOU LOOKED LIKE YOU WERE
YELLING AT THE JUDGE.

YOU SHOULD HAVE HEARD
HOW HE WAS TALKING TO ME.

HE SOUNDED LIKE GRANT MARKHAM.

I'VE ALWAYS
FOUND DONOVAN RATHER CHARMING.

YOU MUST HAVE A DIFFERENT
DEFINITION OF "CHARMING".

WELL, A COOL,
CRISP CHARM, I ADMIT.

FINAL JUDGING.

OH! TIME FOR THE VERDICT.

OUR WINNER.

OUR RESERVE WINNER.

-OUR RESERVE WINNER.
-YOU DID IT, GIRL!

THANK YOU.

YES!

I CAN'T BELIEVE

YOU'RE MAKING ME
WEAR THIS THING.

THAT HAT WAS MY IDEA.
I PICKED IT OUT MYSELF.

YOU DESERVE
A LOT OF THE CREDIT

FOR THAT RIBBON, LIZZIE.

YOU HANDLED BLISS BEAUTIFULLY.

SHE MAKES IT EASY.

MM...

I WANT YOU TO BE MY HANDLER,

IN NEW YORK.

YOUR SISTER TOLD ME ABOUT
YOUR SUSPENSION.

YOU TOLD HER?

OH, PLEASE.

YOUR MOTHER IS ONE OF
MY CLOSEST FRIENDS.

YOU USED TO CALL ME "AUNTIE."

YOU'LL GET NO JUDGMENT FROM ME.

NOW, MY HANDLER WILL BE
OUT FOR MONTHS,

AND ROSE IS ON TRACK
TO MAKE CHAMPION THIS YEAR.

IF YOU COME WORK FOR ME,

YOU COULD HAVE
EXPERIENCE

HANDLING AT BIG SHOWS,

AND YOU COULD COME
AND STAY WITH ME

IN MY BROWNSTONE.

THANK YOU--

TRULY--

BUT I EXPECT TO
GO BACK TO WORK VERY SOON.

LET'S DRINK TO THAT.

OOPS. EMPTY.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

IT IS SO GOOD
TO SEE HER.

MOM IS GONNA FLIP.

TOTALLY.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

AW, YOU'RE WELCOME.

YOU'RE THE BEST.

-HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
-THANK YOU...

NUMBER EIGHT?

UH... IT'S ELIZABETH.

ELIZABETH SCOTT.

I SEE BIRTHDAY WISHES
ARE IN ORDER.

YUP. SHE'S
THE BIG 3-0 TODAY.

AND SHE LOOKS LIKE
SHE'S HAVING SUCH FUN.

YOU WERE SUPPOSED
TO WAIT FOR ME.

ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE
MY SISTER,

ZARA.

THIS IS MY SISTER, JENNA.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
SPEND ALL DAY

TALKING AGAIN, ARE YOU?

IT'S LIKE HE'S THE KING,

AND I'M THE TINY
LITTLE MINION.

I'M SURE THAT'S
EXACTLY HOW HE IS.

WE WILL LEAVE YOU
TO YOUR CELEBRATION, THEN.

YOU SAID THAT
HE WAS BEING RUDE,

BUT YOU WERE THE ONE WHO
WAS BEING RUDE JUST NOW.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

HIS OWN SISTER
THINKS HE'S ARROGANT.

SHE WAS TEASING HIM.

GABRIELLE,
YOU LOOK FABULOUS!

SO DO YOU!

DIVORCE SUITS YOU!

CAN YOU BELIEVE

MY BABY IS TURNING
30 YEARS OLD,

AND NO ONE TO TAKE HER OUT
ON HER BIRTHDAY!

I MEAN, SHE WON'T
LET ME SET HER UP,

MAYBE SHE'LL LET YOU
SET HER UP--

MOM, NOT SO LOUD.

LOOK AT THIS FACE.

SHE IS GORGEOUS!

LOOK.

I WAS GLAD
TO GET YOUR CALL.

I DIDN'T THINK
THE INVESTIGATION

WOULD GO SO FAST.

YES, THEY MOVED
QUICKLY ON THIS.

SO, WILL I BE ABLE TO
START BACK THIS AFTERNOON?

I'M SORRY, ELIZABETH.

YOU WON'T BE RETURNING
TO YOUR CLASSROOM.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

ACCORDING TO GRANT MARKHAM,

YOU TRIED TO EXTORT MONEY
FROM HIM

FOR A PASSING
GRADE FOR JOE.

WHAT?

THAT'S NOT TRUE--

IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHETHER I BELIEVE IT.

MRS. MARKHAM SITS ON THE BOARD,

AND SHE BELIEVES IT.

THE BOARD'S VOTED

TO LET YOU GO

FOR VIOLATING THE ETHICS CODE
OF YOUR CONTRACT.

THAT'S NOT RIGHT.

NOT JUST FOR ME,
BUT FOR MY STUDENTS.

I THINK THE MEDIA
SHOULD HEAR ABOUT THIS.

ELIZABETH,
THIS ISN'T A PUBLIC SCHOOL.

IT'S PRIVATE.

WHICH MEANS IT'S THEIR WORLD.

RIGHT OR NOT,

THEY'RE ALLOWED
TO SHOW YOU THE DOOR.

CAN I AT LEAST
SAY GOODBYE TO MY STUDENTS.

GABRIELLE?

IT'S ELIZABETH.

IS THAT JOB OFFER
AS YOUR HANDLER STILL OPEN?

WE'RE HERE, BLISS.

COME ON.

HERE YOU GO, SIR.

THANK YOU.

COME ON.

HERE WE GO, BLISS.

HI!

LIZZIE!
WELCOME TO NEW YORK.

COME ON IN.

I FORGOT MY BAGS.

ANOTHER CAVALIER!

HI!

OH, AREN'T YOU ADORABLE!

OH, YES...

YES, YOU ARE.

MISS SCOTT.

WHAT A SURPRISE.

YOU.

MR. DARCY,
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

YOU ACT AS IF
I'VE INVADED YOUR TERRITORY,

WHEN YOU'RE
INVADING MINE.

THIS IS MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

CAN I HELP YOU WITH--

I'M FINE.

I THOUGHT YOU LIVED
IN AN ESTATE SOMEWHERE...

NOT HERE.

WELL, MY OFFICIAL
ADDRESS

IS IN CONNECTICUT,

WHERE I GREW UP,

BUT THIS IS WHERE I STAY
WHEN I'M IN THE CITY.

OH.

OF COURSE,
YOU HAVE VACATION HOMES,

UH, PROBABLY IN HAWAII,
OR EUROPE?

DO YOU EVER GET CONFUSED
ABOUT WHERE YOU ARE

WHEN YOU WAKE UP?

ARE YOU ALWAYS THIS HOSTILE?

I'M SORRY.

WE SEEM TO RUB EACH OTHER
IN THE WRONG WAY.

YEAH, I SUPPOSE
I CAN BE ABRASIVE.

MY GOOD OPINION ONCE LOST
IS LOST FOREVER.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN EXACTLY?

NOTHING.

WELL, WE HAVE
THE SAME TASTE IN DOGS.

YES, THIS IS
PHINNEUS.

AND I HAVE ANOTHER
NAMED FIGGY

JUST INSIDE OVER THERE,

WHO JUST GAVE US
A NEW LITTER OF PUPS.

WAIT...

YOU LIVE ACROSS THE STREET?

WHEN I'M NOT CONFUSED ABOUT
WHERE I AM WHEN I WAKE UP, YES.

I WONDER WHY GABRIELLE
DIDN'T TELL ME.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD
ASK HER THAT.

SO THIS WEEKEND
IS THE MAYFAIR SHOW.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL VENUE,

AND WE EXPECT ROSE
TO DO VERY WELL,

DON'T WE, DARLING?

YES, WE DO.

NOW, WE NEED TO DECIDE ON
WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO WEAR.

LIZZIE?

EARTH TO ELIZABETH.?

SORRY.

YOU WERE SAYING?

IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

WHY YOU DIDN'T TELL ME

THAT DONOVAN DARCY

LIVES ACROSS THE STREET?

OH... SO, YOU'VE RUN
INTO HIM ALREADY.

I WONDER,

DID SPARKS FLY
BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU AGAIN?

IF YOU MEAN

DID WE RUN INTO THE WALL
OF OUR MUTUAL DISLIKE?

YES.

DONOVAN DOESN'T DISLIKE YOU.

I SAW THE WAY HE LOOKED AT YOU
AT THE SHOW IN D.C.

YEAH, HE LOOKED SO FAR
DOWN HIS NOSE AT ME,

IT MUST HAVE GIVEN HIM VERTIGO.

BELIEVE ME,

THIS MAN WANTS
NOTHING TO DO WITH ME.

EXCUSE ME.

ZARA, HELLO!

HI!

DONOVAN SAID

I SHOULD INVITE YOU OVER
TO SEE THE NEW PUPPIES.

OH, THAT'S RIGHT!

FIGGY'S HAD HER NEW BABIES!

YEAH, SO HE SAID
TO COME OVER

AT 3:00 TOMORROW,

AND THAT YOU SHOULD BRING
YOUR HOUSEGUEST, TOO?

HE INVITED ME?

UM, I'M SORRY,
YOU LOOK FAMILIAR.

I MET YOU
IN WASHINGTON D.C.

RIGHT, YOU WERE THE ONE
WITH NO MANNERS--

OR AT LEAST THAT'S
WHAT MY BROTHER SAID.

SORRY, EVERYONE TELLS ME
I HAVE NO FILTER.

ONE OF THE REASONS

WHY I LOVE TEENAGERS.

I TEACH HIGH SCHOOL.

I LIKE IT WHEN MY STUDENTS
ALWAYS LET ME KNOW

WHERE I STAND WITH THEM.

A HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER.

WOW.

YOU MUST BE BRAVE

OR CRAZY.

SO I'LL SEE
YOU TOMORROW?

WE'LL BE THERE.

BYE.

YOU SEE?

I TOLD YOU DONOVAN WAS
INTERESTED IN SEEING YOU AGAIN.

WELL, I HAVE NO DESIRE
TO SEE HIM.

BUT I WILL GO
FOR THE CAVALIER PUPPIES?

WHATEVER YOU SAY.

THERE.

OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND.

COME HERE.

COME HERE...

OH, THAT'S A GOOD GIRL.

HI, ROSIE!

ARE YOU READY TO BE
PART OF THE TEAM?

OH, THAT'S A GOOD GIRL.

HELLO, LINUS.

MS. BARROW,

ALWAYS A PLEASURE.

MR. DARCY OFFERS HIS APOLOGY
HE COULDN'T BE HERE,

HE HAD AN UNEXPECTED
MEETING,

BUT HE TOLD ME
TO MAKE SURE YOU COME IN

AND VISIT WITH THE PUPPIES.

HE'S VERY PROUD OF THEM.

COME IN.

PLEASE, THIS WAY.

OH, THERE ARE FIGGY
AND HER PUPS.

AH, YES, AND, UM...

UH...

MAY I ALSO PRESENT
MR. DARCY'S AUNT,

MS. VIOLET DARCY.

HELLO, VIOLET.

AND MS. FELICITY ROBSON,
A FRIEND OF THE FAMILY.

LADIES,

MRS. BARROW
AND MS...?

JUST ELIZABETH.

IT'S SO NICE TO MEET YOU.

IS IT?

SHALL I CALL LINUS BACK
TO FETCH YOU A LINT BRUSH?

OH, I WAS WORKING WITH
GABRIELLE'S TERRIER

ALL MORNING.

I THOUGHT WE WERE JUST
MEETING PUPPIES.

AND THEY ARE ADORABLE.

DONOVAN DOTES ON THEM.

IN ALL THE YEARS
I'VE KNOWN HIM,

HE'S NEVER GONE SO SILLY
OVER A LITTER.

THAT IS SAYING SOMETHING.

NOW, YOU HAVE KNOWN DONOVAN
SINCE HE WAS, WHAT, 16?

AND I WAS 14.

MY BROTHER, HENRY,
IS DONOVAN'S BEST FRIEND.

AND YOU ALWAYS MANAGE
TO FIND A WAY

TO TAG ALONG ON
ALL OF THEIR ESCAPADES.

YES, ANNOYING LITTLE
SISTERS TAG ALONG

WHETHER THEY'RE
WANTED OR NOT.

I KNOW, I HAVE TWO.

WHAT WERE YOU SAYING
ABOUT LITTLE SISTERS?

HOW AWESOME THEY ARE?

HEY, ZARA!

I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE
WITH YOUR PUPPIES.

AREN'T THEY JUST
THE CUTEST THINGS

IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD?

WHERE'S DONOVAN?

I NEED HIM TO HELP ME
WITH MY HISTORY PAPER.

OH, HE HAD
TO LEAVE, DARLING.

FOUNDATION BUSINESS.

I'D BE HAPPY TO HELP YOU, ZARA.

THIS IS NOT YOUR PLACE.

ZARA, FELICITY
WILL HELP YOU.

UH, BUT ELIZABETH
IS AN ACTUAL TEACHER.

I TOOK PLENTY OF
HISTORY CLASSES IN COLLEGE.

COME, SHOW ME
WHERE YOU'RE STUCK.

NICE TO MEET YOU,
ELIZABETH.

ISN'T SHE LOVELY?

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN
IMPRESSED WITH HER.

SHE TRIES HARD
TO BE THERE FOR ZARA.

AFTER ALL,

SHE'S GOING TO BE
ZARA'S SISTER-IN-LAW VERY SOON.

COME TO MAMA.

MY LITTLE
PRECIOUS BABY.

ADMIT IT,

DONOVAN DARCY WANTS
NOTHING TO DO WITH ME.

HE WASN'T EVEN THERE.

PLUS, HE'S PRACTICALLY
ENGAGED.

I'M SURE IF HE WANTED
TO MARRY FELICITY,

HE WOULD HAVE
PROPOSED AGES AGO.

YOU'RE JUST
LIKE MY MOTHER.

CAN'T ADMIT
WHEN YOU'RE WRONG.

ISN'T IT A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT?

YEAH.

M'WAH.

HUH.

LOOK AT THAT.

LOOK AT THAT, BLISS.

NUMBER EIGHT!

PLEASANT EVENING
FOR A WALK, ISN'T IT?

YOU SCRUNCH,
AND THEN YOU PLUCK.

WE STRIP IT

IN THE DIRECTION
THAT THE HAIR GROWS.

SHE LIKES IT.

YOU SHOULD SEE HER
AT THE SHOWS.

SHE LOVES
THE JUDGE'S ATTENTION--

WHICH TODAY WILL BE
DONOVAN DARCY.

YOU SURE HE CAN TAKE TIME
OUT OF HIS BUSY SCHEDULE?

I SAW THAT JEALOUS
GLINT IN YOUR EYE

WHEN YOU SAW THAT PICTURE
OF HIM WITH FELICITY.

I JUST FELT BAD
FOR THE TREES THAT DIED

TO PRINT A PHOTO OF HIM
ARRIVING AT A PARTY.

IT WAS A CHARITY GALA.

HE HAD TO GO.

OF COURSE.

AND HE HAD TO BE
IN THE GOSSIP PAGES

OF THE PAPER, TOO.

MUSEUMS AND HOSPITALS
ALL OVER NEW YORK

HAVE DARCY WINGS.

HE'S BEEN TO THE WHITE HOUSE

TO ADVISE THE PRESIDENT
ON PHILANTHROPY.

OF COURSE THE PAPERS
HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH HIM.

THE WHITE HOUSE?

MM-HMM.

THAT'S FOR YOU.

JENNA!

SURPRISE!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

THE BRIDAL MARKET
DOESN'T START UNTIL NEXT WEEK.

I THOUGHT I'D COME EARLY,
HANG OUT WITH YOU.

OOH! I'M SO GLAD!

BUT YOU KNOW WHERE
WE'LL BE HANGING OUT, DON'T YOU?

THIS IS IT.
THIS IS THE BIG SHOW.

THERE'S A LOT
OF PEOPLE HERE.

I WISH I'D BROUGHT POM POMS.

I COULD BE HEAD CHEERLEADER
FOR TEAM ROSE AND BLOSSOM.

HELLO.

I JUST SAW A WOMAN
PUTTING A WIG ON A DOG.

THAT'S CHEATING.

HAIRPIECES ARE
AGAINST THE RULES.

YOU'RE WORRIED
ABOUT CHEATING?

IT WAS A DOG
WITH A WIG.

SERIOUSLY, THIS DOG SHOW STUFF
IS NOT NORMAL.

SEE?

THEY'RE ALMOST HEADED
TO THE ALTAR.

FELICITY STICKS
TO DONOVAN DARCY LIKE GLUE.

FELICITY IS HERE
AT MY INVITATION.

NOT THAT MY NEPHEW,
OR OUR GUESTS,

ARE ANY OF YOUR CONCERN.

SHE GETS TO ME.

SHE OWNS FIVE DOGS
SHOWING HERE TODAY,

AND SHE SEEMS TO THINK

THAT SHE'S
QUEEN OF THE CIRCUIT.

THAT'S THE WOMAN
YOU SHOWED ME

IN THE PAPER
WITH DONOVAN?

YEAH, THAT'S
FELICITY.

THEN WHY IS HE LOOKING
AT ELIZABETH

INSTEAD OF HIS
SUPPOSED GIRLFRIEND?

WHY TWO JUDGES?

THE OTHER ONE IS
A PROVISIONAL JUDGE.

DONOVAN IS
TRAINING HIM.

I KNOW WHY DONOVAN
WASN'T THERE

WHEN YOU CAME
TO SEE THE PUPPIES.

AUNT VIOLET
SHOWED UP

AND TOLD DONOVAN

THERE WAS
SOME BIG EMERGENCY

AT THE FOUNDATION.

SHE KNEW
YOU WERE COMING.

HOW WOULD SHE KNOW THAT?

OH, SHE KNOWS
ALL KINDS OF STUFF

SHE SHOULDN'T KNOW.

DONOVAN THINKS
SHE HAS A SPY IN THE HOUSE.

SHE'S LOOKING AT ME!

I-I BETTER GO.

OH, I STILL NEED HELP
WITH MY HISTORY PAPER.

COULD I COME OVER
TOMORROW?

OF COURSE.

NUMBER THREE, PLEASE.

GOOD LUCK.

NUMBER THREE.

MR. DARCY.

MISS SCOTT.

MEET MR. BINGLEY.

MAY WE SEE YOUR DOG
ON THE PLATFORM, PLEASE?

HER BACK SHOULD BE
SLENDER AND AGILE

AND HER BODY THE BREADTH
OF A MAN'S HANDS.

SHE SHOULD ALSO POSSESS EYES
FULL OF FIRE AND INTELLIGENCE.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE DOING--

HE'S QUOTING THE BREED STANDARD
OF BORDER TERRIERS.

I LOOK FORWARD
TO HEARING MORE.

MR. BINGLEY,
WHAT DOES THE STANDARD SAY

ABOUT A BORDER'S TEMPERAMENT?

I BELIEVE IT SAYS
THE DOG SHOULD BE SWEET

AND AFFECTIONATE.

SWEET AND AFFECTIONATE.

VALUABLE QUALITIES.

OH, I ALMOST
FORGOT THE PART

ABOUT "GAME FOR ANYTHING."

MISS SCOTT, MAY WE SEE YOUR DOG
ON THE DOWN-AND-BACK?

YOU MAY, MR. DARCY.

NUMBER 19.

THANK YOU, MISS SCOTT.

GOOD LUCK!

NOW, THAT WAS ENTERTAINING.

CAN I ASSUME
THIS ISN'T TAKEN?

HENRY.

HI.

NICE TO MEET YOU.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

UH, JENNA.

JENNA.

LIZZIE,
COME MEET HENRY.

THIS IS MY SISTER,
ELIZABETH.

AH. HENRY.
NICE TO MEET YOU.

YOU'RE DONOVAN DARCY'S
BEST FRIEND.

YES.

I COULD TELL YOU
ALL KINDS OF STORIES

OF OUR TEENAGED
HIJINKS.

HIJINKS?

DONOVAN DARCY?

SO, I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND

IF I ASK YOUR SISTER
FOR HER NUMBER.

I'M
PLANNING TO ASK HER OUT.

OR YOU COULD ASK ME
RIGHT NOW.

-HOW ABOUT TONIGHT?
-I WOULD LOVE TO.

GREAT.

I'M STILL GOING TO
NEED YOUR NUMBER, SO...

WOULD YOU
PUT IT IN MY PHONE?

DARLING BROTHER,
THERE YOU ARE.

HI.

WELL, HELLO,
ELIZABETH.

NICE TO SEE
YOU AGAIN.

YOU KNOW EACH OTHER?

OH, YES,
ELIZABETH SCOTT.

THE ONE I MET AT
DONOVAN'S HOUSE.

REMEMBER?

YES, I DO.

WELL, IT'S A PLEASURE MEETING
BOTH THE LOVELY SCOTT SISTERS.

I'LL SEE YOU TONIGHT, JENNA.

I SUPPOSE WE'RE...

LEAVING NOW.

SHE TALKED TO ME
AS IF SHE LIKED ME.

MAYBE SHE DOES.

FINAL JUDGING.

OH, FINAL JUDGING!

GOOD LUCK!

OUR WINNER.

OUR RESERVE WINNER.

MY GIRLS TOOK IT ALL!

WELL DONE.

THANK YOU, MR. DARCY.

CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU.

SO THIS IS WHAT
WINNING FEELS LIKE.

IT'S SO VERY SWEET.

I TOLD YOU THIS
WAS ROSE'S YEAR.

I KEEP FORGETTING.
I BROUGHT YOUR MAIL.

OH.

THERE YOU GO.

I AM OFF.

DON'T WAIT UP.

I'M SO GLAD JENNA'S
HIT IT OFF WITH HENRY.

HE'S A CATCH, YOU KNOW,

A CORPORATE LAWYER,
ALL THAT ROBSON MONEY.

OF COURSE, IT'S NOT
THE SAME LEVEL

AS THE DARCY MONEY,
BUT STILL...

YOU ALL RIGHT?

IT'S A LETTER
FROM GRANT MARKHAM'S LAWYER.

HE'S THREATENING
TO SUE ME

FOR FRAUDULENT
ACCUSATIONS AGAINST HIM.

I SAID THE TRUTH
ABOUT HIM,

AND NOW HE'S
GOING TO RUIN ME?

THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

I'M GOING TO GO
TAKE A WALK.

LIZZIE...

MISS SCOTT.

I'M GLAD I RAN INTO YOU.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY THINGS
THAT AREN'T TRUE.

NO, BUT I DID
WANT TO APOLOGIZE

FOR NOT BEING HOME

WHEN YOU CAME TO SEE
FIGGY'S PUPPIES.

MY AUNT SHOWED UP
WITH SOME EXAGGERATED STORY.

WELL, SOMETIMES,
IT'S A CHALLENGE

TO STAY AHEAD OF
HER HIDDEN AGENDAS.

I'M CURIOUS.

IS THAT SOMETHING YOU CONSIDER
A "REAL" PROBLEM?

WELL, I SUPPOSE THAT DEPENDS ON
HOW YOU DEFINE "PROBLEM."

HOW ABOUT "POOR," "SICK,"
"OPPRESSED," "HUNGRY"?

JUST BECAUSE THOSE THINGS

ARE NOT ON
MY LIST OF PROBLEMS,

DOES NOT MEAN MY LIST IS EMPTY.

I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT
MIGHT BE ON YOUR LIST.

I TAUGHT
PRIVILEGED CHILDREN,

AND AT ANY HINT
OF AN ISSUE,

A PARENT WOULD SHOW UP
AND MAKE IT GO AWAY,

EVEN IF HE MADE
THE TEACHER GO AWAY.

ARE YOU...
ARE YOU CRYING?

NO, I'M NOT CRYING!

I DON'T CRY!

WHY WOULD YOU THINK
I WAS CRYING?

I'M NOT CRYING...

OH, I LOVE
SAYING HIS NAME.

HENRY...

HE'S JUST SO AMAZING.

I THINK HE MIGHT BE THE ONE.

YOU'VE ONLY
KNOWN HIM FOR A WEEK.

I KNEW AFTER THE FIRST NIGHT.

WHEN YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW.

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN
SO EASY FOR YOU

TO FALL FOR SOMEONE.

I WISH I COULD BE
MORE LIKE YOU.

OH, I THINK YOU FALL.

I THINK YOU JUST
DENY IT TO YOURSELF,

LIKE WITH DONOVAN?

I HAVE NOT FALLEN
FOR DONOVAN DARCY.

QUITE THE OPPOSITE.

WE BRING OUT
THE WORST IN EACH OTHER.

NOT TRUE.

YOU'VE HAD A DIFFERENT
KIND OF ENERGY

SINCE YOU MET HIM.

YOU MEAN DARK AND STORMY?

MORE LIKE ELECTRIFIED.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST
GO FOR IT?

JUST LET GO.

IT'S AN AMAZING THING
TO FALL.

VIOLET?

CAN YOU TELL US
WHAT YOU'RE DOING HERE?

I'M READY TO
TAKE THE PLUNGE,

SO I'M LOOKING FOR
THE RIGHT DRESS.

ACTUALLY, I'M HERE WITH
THE LOVELY FELICITY ROBSON.

SHE'S ON THE LOOKOUT FOR
THE PERFECT WEDDING DRESS.

WOULD IT BE RUDE

IF I JUST WALKED UP
TO FELICITY

AND ASKED IF SHE WAS
ENGAGED TO DONOVAN?

OR MAYBE I COULD JUST ASK HENRY.

SHE IS WELCOME TO HIM,

ALTHOUGH SHE'S
MUCH TOO NICE FOR HIM.

SHE'S WARM, AND HE'S NOT.

YES, I HEARD WHAT
YOU SAID ABOUT DONOVAN,

AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT
HE'S A WONDERFUL PERSON.

HE'S BEEN A WONDERFUL
FRIEND TO ME

FOR MORE YEARS
THAN I CAN COUNT.

ARE YOU ENGAGED?

THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN

AN UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN OUR FAMILIES

THAT ONE DAY
WE'LL BE MARRIED.

I TRUST DONOVAN
TO KNOW THE RIGHT MOMENT,

AND I PLAN TO BE READY
WHEN THAT MOMENT COMES.

FELICITY...

THEY'RE NOT ENGAGED.

I DON'T CARE.

OKAY, YEAH.

YEAH, I THINK I GET IT.

HEY, YOU'RE AWESOME.

WAY BETTER AT HOMEWORK HELP
THAN FELICITY.

AT LEAST SHE TRIED.

YEAH,

IF YOU CALL HER IGNORING ME
WHILE SHE'S ON HER PHONE TRYING.

WELL, WHY NOT GIVE HER
THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT?

YOUR AUNT SAYS SHE MIGHT
BE YOUR SISTER-IN-LAW SOON.

YEAH, SHE WISHES.

DONOVAN'S NOT
GOING TO MARRY HER.

HE YAWNS
WHEN HE TALKS TO HER.

NOT LIKE WHEN HE TALKS TO YOU.

HE'S WIDE AWAKE.

SORT OF...

ELECTRIFIED.

SO, WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED
YOUR ROUGH DRAFT,

I'LL HELP YOU EDIT IT.

JUST WATCH,
IT IS GOING TO BE

THE BEST PAPER
I HAVE EVER WRITTEN.

THANKS, LIZZIE.

SERIOUSLY.

DO YOU THINK IT'S TRUE?

I DON'T KNOW.

HELLO?

LADIES?

HEY!

HI.

HOW DID
THE HOMEWORK HELP GO?

GOOD.

ZARA IS VERY BRIGHT.

I KNOW.

THANK GOODNESS
SHE HAS DONOVAN.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, HE'S RAISED HER

SINCE THEIR PARENTS DIED
IN A BOATING ACCIDENT.

YOU DIDN'T KNOW?

NO, I...

I WAS WONDERING WHY SHE WAS
LIVING WITH HER BROTHER, BUT--

HE INSISTED
UPON RAISING HER.

HE WAS ONLY 21,
AND ZARA WAS FIVE.

HENRY SAID

HE COULD'VE HAD HER
SHIPPED HER OFF TO RELATIVES.

VIOLET WANTED TO TAKE HER.

BUT DARCY WANTED HER
TO STAY WITH HIM.

HE GAVE UP

ALL THE ORDINARY
THINGS GUYS DO

JUST SO HE COULD
BE THERE FOR HER.

THAT'S RIGHT.

I HAD NO IDEA..

AND I TOLD HIM
HE HAD NO PROBLEMS.

VIOLET MADE THIS HAPPEN.

I'LL BET YOU ANYTHING

SHE CALLED THE PAPERS,

AND THEY SENT THE PHOTOGRAPHERS.

MAYBE I SHOULD
FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE, HMM?

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING!

I MADE AN APPOINTMENT
FOR ROSE AND BLOSSOM

AT THE PET SPA THIS MORNING.

WE WANT THEM
ALL NICE AND PRETTY

FOR THE DOG SHOW
THIS WEEKEND--

AND THAT IS
YOUR MISSION FOR THE DAY.

BUT GROOMING THEM IS MY JOB.

OH, THEY LIKE A TRIP TO THE SPA
EVERY NOW AND THEN.

NOW, GO ON,
OR YOU'LL BE LATE.

THERE SHE IS.

I'LL JUST BE A MINUTE.

MISS SCOTT.

HELLO.

YOU CAN CALL ME ELIZABETH.

OR LIZZIE.

I TOLD ZARA
TO CALL ME LIZZIE.

ELIZABETH WILL BE FINE.

IT'S MORE...

NEVER MIND.

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

OH, UH, GABRIELLE
ASKED ME TO BRING THE DOGS.

AT THE SAME TIME SHE KNOWS
I COME TO TAKE FIGGY EVERY WEEK?

GABRIELLE IS TRYING
TO THROW US TOGETHER.

I'M SORRY,

I WOULDN'T HAVE COME
HAD I KNOWN.

IT'S FINE.

I'M GOING TO BE
LEAVING SOON ANYWAYS.

I WAS...

PLEASE, GO AHEAD.

I WANTED TO APOLOGIZE ABOUT
WHAT I SAID THE OTHER DAY--

ABOUT YOU HAVING
NO REAL PROBLEMS.

I WAS UPSET ABOUT OTHER REASONS.

I DIDN'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY.

I WANTED TO THANK YOU
FOR HELPING ZARA.

SHE SAYS YOU'RE A GOOD TEACHER.

SHE'S A GOOD STUDENT,

WHO OBVIOUSLY THINKS
YOU'RE THE SUN AND THE MOON.

I ADMIRE YOU,

FOR RAISING HER,

EVEN THOUGH
YOU WERE YOUNG YOURSELF.

YOU SHOULD ADMIRE HER.

SHE...

SHE CARRIED ME THROUGH
SOME DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES.

I DON'T KNOW WHY

I THINK MONEY
PROTECTS PEOPLE FROM PAIN,

OR THE NEED TO WORK.

YOU IMAGINED I DON'T WORK?

WELL, I MEAN,
OTHER THAN COUNTING YOUR MONEY?

WELL, CLEARLY, YOU HAVE NO IDEA
HOW HARD IT IS COUNT MONEY.

IT TAKES DAYS
TO GET TO A MILLION,

AND BY THE TIME YOU DO,

YOU'RE SO EXHAUSTED,
YOU LOSE COUNT,

GOT TO START ALL OVER AGAIN.

IT'S GRUELING WORK.

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES,
YOU'RE ALMOST CHARMING.

I MUST NOT HAVE
HEARD YOU RIGHT.

IT SOUNDED TO ME LIKE YOU SAID
YOU FIND ME CHARMING.

ALMOST.

NOT QUITE.

OH!

YOU'RE A MESS.

YOU SHOULD SEE YOURSELF.

DON'T YOU
LOOK PRETTY, FIGGY?

SHE REFUSES TO WEAR
HER RIBBON TODAY.

WELL, THAT'S BECAUSE
RIBBONS ARE FOR LITTLE GIRLS,

AND FIGGY IS A MOTHER.

SHE'S ALL GROWN-UP NOW.

HMM?

WELL, IT WAS
ALMOST A PLEASURE

SPEAKING WITH YOU,
ELIZABETH.

ALMOST.

NOT QUITE.

COME ON. FIGGY.

WE'RE BACK.

OOH!

THE DOGS LOOK GREAT,

BUT YOU DIDN'T
REALLY WANT ME

TO TAKE THEM THERE FOR THAT,

DID YOU?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

YOU WANTED ME
TO RUN INTO DARCY.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU MEAN.

HUH.

HMM!

I DON'T KNOW
WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE,

COMING IN MY HOUSE
WITH THAT TRASH--

NO, NO-- TRASH?

--ACCUSING ME--
--SHE'S LIVING IN--

YOU NEED TO LEAVE.

YOU NEED
TO APOLOGIZE!

I HAVE
NO INTENTION.

I'LL DO NO SUCH THING.

OH!

HERE SHE IS.

MAYBE SHE CAN EXPLAIN HERSELF.

EXPLAIN WHAT?

THIS!

HERE.

LET ME READ
THE HEADLINE.

"DONOVAN DARCY
WAS SPOTTED YESTERDAY

"CANOODLING WITH AN UNIDENTIFIED
FEMALE COMPANION.

IS HIS ENGAGEMENT
TO FELICITY ROBSON OFF?"

WE WEREN'T CANOODLING.

OH, YES,

-THIS IS THE 21
-ST CENTURY,

BUT I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN

THAT A WOMAN WHO TRIES TO SEDUCE
ANOTHER WOMAN'S MAN

IS STILL A LOATHSOME CREATURE.

OH, STEP DOWN

OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE.

DONOVAN HASN'T PUT A RING
ON FELICITY'S FINGER.

THAT WASN'T A SEDUCTION.

IF YOU DON'T STAY AWAY
FROM MY NEPHEW,

I WILL PERSONALLY
MAKE SURE YOU REGRET IT.

ARE YOU SURE YOU KNOW
-IT'S THE 21
-ST CENTURY?

ISN'T A GROWN MAN

ALLOWED TO CHOOSE
WHO HE SPENDS TIME WITH?

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA

WHAT AN IMPORTANT ROLE
DONOVAN PLAYS

AS HEAD OF
THE FAMILY FOUNDATION?

PLEASE...

HOW MANY PEOPLE
HE IMPACTS,

HOW SIGNIFICANT
HIS EVERY CHOICE?

THE RIGHT WIFE

WILL MAKE HIM EVEN MORE
EFFECTIVE IN THE WORLD.

BUT THE WRONG ONE...?

I SEE NO REASON
TO CONTINUE THIS CONVERSATION.

PLEASE GO.

I'VE SAID
WHAT NEEDED TO BE SAID.

THIS IS A DISASTER.

IF THE PRESS TRIES TO FIND OUT
WHO I AM,

THEN THIS WHOLE HORRIBLE MESS
WITH GRANT MARKHAM

COULD BE SPLASHED
ALL OVER THE PAPER TOMORROW,

AND I MIGHT NEVER BE HIRED
AS A TEACHER AGAIN.

NO.

IF CAMERAS FOLLOW
DONOVAN DARCY AROUND,

I HAVE TO STAY
FAR, FAR AWAY FROM HIM.

THAT MIGHT TO BE HARD TO DO.

THE WESTERN COUNTRY SHOW
IS THIS WEEKEND,

AND DONOVAN IS SCHEDULED
TO JUDGE THE TERRIERS.

I FEEL LIKE THERE'S
CAMERAS EVERYWHERE,

WAITING TO POUNCE.

FIRST, WE'RE TOO FAR AWAY
FROM THE CITY.

SECOND, THAT PHOTO
FROM THE OTHER DAY

IT'S OLD NEWS.

EVERYONE'S ONTO
THE NEXT BIT OF GOSSIP.

THERE'S FELICITY.

I HAVE TO TALK TO HER.

BUT IT'S ALMOST TIME TO...

EXCUSE ME.

FELICITY...

I WANT TO EXPLAIN.

THAT PHOTO IN THE PAPER
OF ME AND YOUR...

DONOVAN.

IT GAVE THE WRONG IMPRESSION.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

I KNOW DONOVAN.
I KNOW HE'S VERY LOYAL.

I'M SURE IT WAS
AN INNOCENT MEETING.

IT WAS.

I WISH IT HADN'T
HAPPENED.

I WISH

I NEVER HAD TO BE ANYWHERE
NEAR DONOVAN DARCY.

MISS SCOTT?

I BELIEVE YOU'RE
NUMBER ONE TODAY?

I AM...

I GUESS I'LL, UH...

GO.

HOW YOU CAN SHOW YOUR FACE HERE
IS BEYOND ME.

AUNT, PLEASE.

DON'T LET THAT
OLD DRAGON GET TO YOU.

IT'S NOT JUST HER.

I DON'T BELONG
IN THIS WORLD.

THE PUBLIC ATTENTION,
THE PLOTS, THE INTRIGUE.

NUMBER ONE...

THAT'S ME.
HERE I GO.

YOU ACT AS IF
I'VE OFFENDED YOU.

DIDN'T YOU SEE THAT PICTURE
OF US IN THE PAPER?

I'D ADVISE YOU TO IGNORE
THOSE GOSSIP RAGS.

WELL, MAYBE YOU CAN IGNORE
WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF YOU,

BUT THAT IS NOT
A LUXURY I CAN AFFORD.

IT'S NOT A LUXURY,
IT'S A CHOICE.

A CHOICE YOU CAN MAKE
BECAUSE YOU'RE WEALTHY.

AGAIN ABOUT MY MONEY.

YOU, ELIZABETH,
ARE A SNOB.

DO YOU WANT ME TO TELL YOU
WHAT I THINK YOU ARE?

MAY I SEE YOUR DOG
ON THE DOWN AND BACK, PLEASE?

I HAVE NEVER MET
A MORE MADDENING HUMAN BEING

THAN DONOVAN DARCY.

YOU TWO ARE LIKE
ELIZABETH TAYLOR

AND RICHARD BURTON,

ARGUING SO PASSIONATELY.

FINAL JUDGING.

OUR WINNER!

OUR RESERVE WINNER.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

PEOPLE ARE WHISPERING
AND STARING.

YOU MAKING A FUSS

WILL ONLY MAKE THEM
WHISPER MORE.

HA HA!

JUST ONE MORE WIN,

AND ROSE WILL HAVE
ENOUGH POINTS

TO BE AN OFFICIAL
CHAMPION.

IT'S THE CIRCUIT DIRECTOR.

MS. BARROW,
I'VE BEEN INFORMED

OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST
IN TODAY'S DECISION

FOR ROSE
IN THE TERRIER GROUP.

THAT WOULD BE
MY AUNT'S DOING.

IT APPEARS

OUR JUDGE HAS BEEN
INTIMATE WITH THE HANDLER.

I'VE INFORMED HIM

THAT THERE'S BEEN
NO INTIMACY.

NOT EVEN A LITTLE.

LOOK, I'LL ALLOW
TODAY'S DECISION TO STAND

UNDER ONE CONDITION.

THAT MISS SCOTT
NO LONGER HANDLES YOUR DOGS

WHEN MR. DARCY
IS JUDGING TERRIERS.

BUT HE'S SCHEDULED TO JUDGE
THE NEXT THREE SHOWS.

I'LL RECUSE MYSELF.

I'M AFRAID
THAT WOULD PUT US IN A BIND.

THERE'S NO USE
ARGUING, GABRIELLE.

THIS IS WESTON HIGH SCHOOL
ALL OVER AGAIN.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM ARGUING
AGAINST A BAD DECISION.

THIS IS HIS WORLD,

AND HE HAS THE RIGHT
TO SHOW ME THE DOOR,

AND I WOULD RATHER LEAVE

IF THE TRUTH
IS BESIDES THE POINT.

THAT WENT WELL.

YOU'LL HAVE TO FIND
YOURSELF ANOTHER HANDLER.

I'VE LET YOU DOWN,

AND I DON'T WANT TO
IMPOSE ON YOU ANY LONGER.

I'M GOING TO PACK
WHEN I--

NO, THIS IS MY FAULT.

I DIDN'T JUST SEND YOU
TO THE DOG SPA

SO THAT YOU WOULD
RUN INTO DONOVAN.

I...

I ALSO CALLED THE PAPER
TO TIP THEM OFF.

I WAS TRYING TO ONE-UP
VIOLET AT HER OWN GAME,

AND IT BACKFIRED.

SO YOU CAN'T GO.

THANK YOU.

I MEAN IT.

I AM SO GRATEFUL

FOR EVERYTHING
YOU'VE DONE FOR ME,

AND ALL
YOU'VE TAUGHT ME.

AND I'LL USE IT

THE NEXT TIME I SHOW BLISS
WHEN I'M BACK HOME AGAIN.

BUT YOU DON'T HAVE A JOB THERE.

I ALWAYS HAVE A JOB
AT MY MOTHER'S BRIDAL SHOP.

AH.

THAT'S WHY NO ONE
WAS ANSWERING MY KNOCK.

I WANTED TO APOLOGIZE

FOR THE SNAFU
AT THE DOG SHOW LAST NIGHT.

I'D LOVE TO BLAME YOU,

BUT I CAN'T, NOT REALLY.

WELL, I'D LIKE TO
DISCUSS THE SITUATION,

IF YOU HAVE TIME.

WELL, LET'S GO INSIDE.

I'D RATHER TALK
ABOUT IT SOMEPLACE ELSE.

I'D RATHER NOT BE

ALL OVER THE PAPER TOMORROW.

WELL, I HAVE
AN ART COLLECTOR FRIEND

WITH A ROOM
FULL OF PAINTINGS,

INCLUDING AN ORIGINAL
KING CHARLES

OWNED BY QUEEN VICTORIA.

YOU MEAN DASH?

YEAH, YOU KNOW HIM?

YEAH, I TAUGHT
MY CLASS ABOUT HIM.

I DEFINITELY
WANT TO SEE THAT.

GIVE ME A MINUTE.

YEAH.

I, UH...

I REALIZE NOW THAT
I WAS TOO...

CAVALIER ABOUT
THE PHOTO IN THE PAPER.

I'M SORRY.

I DIDN'T SEE HOW
IT WOULD IMPACT YOU.

GABRIELLE TELLS ME
YOU PLAN TO GO BACK TO D.C.

I'VE SPOKEN WITH
THE CIRCUIT DIRECTOR,

PERSUADED HIM
TO RECONSIDER HIS DECISION

TO BAR YOU FROM MY RING.

PERHAPS YOU SHOULD WAIT
TO FIND OUT WHAT HE SAYS?

I KNOW HOW
THESE THINGS WORK.

THE OUTCOME IS USUALLY RIGGED,

AND I'M IMPOSING ON GABRIELLE.

WELL THEN, IMPOSE ON ME.

ARE YOU ASKING ME
TO STAY WITH YOU?

NO.

I AM OFFERING YOU
A TEMPORARY POSITION

LOOKING AFTER MY DOGS.

ZARA AND I HAVE TO
GO OUT OF TOWN

FOR THE NEXT WEEK

ON FAMILY BUSINESS,

AND LINUS IS
COMING WITH US.

OF COURSE.

YOU COULDN'T GO A WEEK
WITHOUT YOUR BUTLER.

I WILL IGNORE THAT.

THE PROBLEM IS
I CAN'T TAKE FIGGY WITH ME.

OF COURSE NOT.

HER PUPPIES ARE MUCH TOO YOUNG
FOR THE STRESS OF TRAVEL.

GABRIELLE'S AGREED
TO KEEP AN EYE ON THEM.

SHE USUALLY DOES
WHEN I GO OUT OF TOWN.

THEN YOU DON'T REALLY NEED ME.

WELL, FIGGY DOESN'T,
BUT HER PUPPIES DO.

THEY'RE AT AN AGE

WHEN THEY NEED
TO BECOME ACCUSTOMED

TO PEOPLE HANDLING THEM.

NOW, I CAN'T EXPECT GABRIELLE
TO COME OVER

AND INTERACT WITH THEM FOR
TWO TO THREE HOURS EVERY DAY,

SO I'D LIKE
TO HIRE YOU TO DO IT.

I APPRECIATE THE OFFER,

BUT THE LAST THING I WANT
IS TO BE INDEBTED TO YOU.

THERE YOU GO AGAIN
WITH THAT SNOBBISH PRIDE.

NO, NO, PLEASE,

I WOULD HATE FOR YOU
TO FEEL INDEBTED TO ME.

DONOVAN.

YOU CAN'T BLACKMAIL ME

INTO WORKING FOR YOU.

FINE.

IF I GET TO EAT THE CAKE,

I'LL LOOK AFTER YOUR PUPPIES.

PEOPLE SAY I'M RUTHLESS
IN MY BUSINESS DEALINGS,

I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY.

THOSE ARE
YOUR PARENTS?

YEAH.

AND ZARA, TOO,
WHEN SHE WAS LITTLE.

YOU ALL LOOK SO HAPPY

IN THIS PICTURE.

SO...

WELL, NORMAL.

WELL, WE ARE EATING
OFF GOLD PLATES THERE.

THOSE ARE PAPER PLATES.

YOU KEEP SURPRISING ME.

YOU MEAN I SURPRISE
YOUR PRECONCEPTIONS OF ME.

I'M PRETTY SURE
I'VE ALREADY APOLOGIZED

FOR BEING TOO QUICK TO JUDGE.

MY CELL PHONE NUMBER,

KEYS TO THE HOUSE,

IN CASE YOU GET HERE
AT A DIFFERENT TIME

THAN GABRIELLE.

BUT I DON'T KNOW
HOW FELICITY MIGHT FEEL

ABOUT THAT.

WHY WOULD FELICITY CARE?

I DID SEE HER
SHOPPING FOR A WEDDING DRESS.

YOU THINK
I'M ENGAGED TO FELICITY?

IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME
ONE WAY OR THE OTHER--

I'M NOT.

I DON'T REALLY CARE.

NOT THAT I HAVEN'T
THOUGHT ABOUT IT.

SO THEN,

YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH HER?

SORRY, IT'S NONE
OF MY BUSINESS.

DOES LOVE REALLY MATTER
WHEN IT COMES TO MARRIAGE?

PERHAPS IT'S BEST
TO MARRY SOMEONE

WITH WHOM ONE IS WELL-SUITED.

PERHAPS ONLY FOOLS

WAIT FOR PASSION TO COME
AND KICK THEM IN THE CHEST,

STEAL THEIR WITS.

I THINK YOU AND FELICITY
ARE VERY WELL-SUITED.

AND YOU WOULD BE A FOOL
NOT TO MARRY HER.

BLISS IS PROBABLY WONDERING

WHY I HAVEN'T TAKEN HER
OUT FOR A WALK YET,

SO I SHOULD GO.

ELIZABETH...

I HOPE YOU HAVE
A GOOD TRIP.

THERE'S THAT SIGH AGAIN.

YOU'VE BEEN VERY MOONY
THE LAST FEW DAYS.

I'M JUST BORED
WITH THIS BOOK.

I THINK I'LL GO
CHECK ON THE PUPPIES.

LIZZIE, THERE YOU ARE.

I NEED TO ASK YOU
A BIG FAVOR.

WELL THEN, YOU'LL HAVE TO
COME WITH ME.

I'M GOING ACROSS THE STREET.

I'M COMING, TOO.

HENRY INVITED ME TO
THIS CHARITY EVENT ON SATURDAY.

IT'S A TENNIS TOURNAMENT
SLASH BALL.

I AM SO NERVOUS
I CAN BARELY STAND IT.

WELL, THAT WOULDN'T BE
MY IDEA OF A GOOD TIME.

WELL, THAT'S TOO BAD,

BECAUSE I WAS
JUST ABOUT TO ASK YOU

TO COME WITH ME.

WELL, DON'T ASK ME.

I AM BEING PAID
TO PLAY WITH PUPPIES.

OH, COME ON,
IT'S JUST ONE NIGHT.

WE'LL LEAVE
THAT AFTERNOON,

AND WE'LL COME BACK
THE NEXT MORNING.

YOU SAID

DONOVAN ONLY NEEDED YOU
TO HANDLE THE PUPPIES

A FEW HOURS A DAY.

RIGHT, AND YOU'LL BE BACK
IN PLENTY OF TIME FOR THAT.

JENNA, COME ON.

YOU DON'T WANT ME
AS A THIRD WHEEL

ON YOUR ROMANTIC DATE.

IT WOULDN'T BE LIKE THAT.

THIS PLACE IS SUPPOSEDLY
AS BIG AS A HOTEL.

HENRY ALREADY SAID
IT WAS FINE.

QUOTE, "THE MORE THE MERRIER."

PRETTY PLEASE?

THANKS.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

I HOPE YOU TWO
BROUGHT SOMETHING TO WEAR

TO THE BALL TONIGHT.

OUR MOTHER OWNS A BRIDAL SHOP.

WE HAVE DRESSES
FOR EVERY OCCASION.

ARE YOU SURE WE'RE READY
FOR THIS OCCASION?

THANK YOU.

UH, HENRY?

ARE YOU ALLOWED
TO JUST GO RIGHT IN?

I SPENT MORE TIME HERE
AS A TEENAGER

THAN I DID AT MY OWN HOUSE.

YOU CAN JUST
DROP IT HERE.

I FEEL LIKE WE JUST
WALKED INTO A MOVIE.

OR A MUSEUM.

AH, THERE HE IS.

HE'S ON THE PATIO WITH ZARA.

I'LL GO LET HIM KNOW WE'RE HERE.

DID HE JUST SAY ZARA?

JENNA, ARE WE AT
DONOVAN DARCY'S ESTATE?

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T REMEMBER
HENRY SAYING THAT.

MISS SCOTT!

DO YOU HAVE
ANY BETTER OCCUPATION

OTHER THAN SHOWING UP
WHERE YOU'RE NOT WANTED?

MY SISTER HAS
A VERY USEFUL OCCUPATION.

SHE'S A TEACHER.

SHE TAUGHT AT
THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS SCHOOL

IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

HMM, REALLY?

AND WHAT SCHOOL
MIGHT THAT BE?

WESTON HIGH SCHOOL.

MY TURN?

YUP.

WELL...

ONLY TOOK US TWO HOURS
TO GET HERE.

THOUGHT THERE'D BE
MORE TRAFFIC.

LIZZIE!

I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU WERE COMING.

NOR DID I.

I TOLD YOU I WAS BRINGING
A COUPLE OF PEOPLE.

I'M SORRY.

I DIDN'T KNOW HENRY
WAS BRINGING US HERE.

YOU DIDN'T?

HUH.

OTHERWISE

I WOULDN'T HAVE
TAGGED ALONG.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE SHOULD
BELIEVE HER, DONOVAN.

WELL,
I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

I WAS JUST ABOUT
TO CHECKMATE MY BROTHER

IF YOU WANT THE NEXT GAME.

I, UM...

THANK YOU, ZARA,

BUT I CAN'T STAY.

I HAVE TO GO BACK
TO NEW YORK

I'LL GO CALL A CAB.

I DON'T KNOW
WHY YOU'RE LEAVING.

NO ONE SAID
YOU HAVE TO GO.

DID YOU SEE HOW DONOVAN
WAS LOOKING AT ME?

HOW WAS I
LOOKING AT YOU?

I'LL JUST
LET YOU TWO TALK.

YOU DON'T
HAVE TO LEAVE.

ZARA WANTS YOU TO STAY.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I ALSO WANT YOU TO STAY.

AND WHAT WILL
YOUR AUNT VIOLET SAY?

YOU'RE AFRAID OF MY AUNT?

SHE'S TERRIFYING.

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU A SECRET.

SHE'S MORE AFRAID OF YOU
THAN YOU ARE OF HER,

AND I LIKE TO
WATCH HER SQUIRM,

SO STAY FOR THAT,
IF FOR NO OTHER REASON.

OR DON'T STAY,
IF YOU'D RATHER GO.

BUT AS FAR AS ZARA AND I
ARE CONCERNED,

YOU'RE WELCOME HERE.

WELL, I...

DID BRING A FABULOUS DRESS
FOR TONIGHT, SO--

GOOD.

I'M GLAD.

NOW I HAVE
A TENNIS MATCH TO WIN.

WHAT DID I JUST DO?

YOUR BROTHER CERTAINLY
LIKES TO PLAY TO WIN,

DOESN'T HE?

WELL, HIS OPPONENTS,

THEY PLEDGE DOUBLE
IF HE WINS.

HE RAISES MORE MONEY
FOR THE FOUNDATION THAT WAY.

THANK YOU.

HE'S KIND OF A HUNK,
ISN'T HE?

I THINK I'LL KEEP
MY OPINION OF YOUR BROTHER

TO MYSELF.

WELL, THAT'S DIFFERENT.

MOST WOMEN,

THEY FAWN ALL OVER HIM.

LIKE FELICITY.

"OH, DONOVAN,

"YOU HAVE SUCH
PATRICIAN FEATURES,

"DARE I SAY,

"YOU WOULD FATHER
THE MOST ATTRACTIVE CHILDREN

THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN."

OH, HERE IT COMES,
DONOVAN'S ABOUT TO WIN.

HE ALWAYS WINS,

AND I ALWAYS
HAND HIM THE TROPHY.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT,

I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD
HAND HIM THE TROPHY TODAY,

SO I'M GONNA GO.

ZARA, COME BACK HERE!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I'M...

SUPPOSED TO
GIVE YOU THIS?

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE WIN.

I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING
THAT FABULOUS DRESS OF YOURS

TONIGHT.

WOW.

HEY, FELICITY.

I SAW THAT TOUCHING SCENE
OF THE TWO OF YOU

ON THE TENNIS COURTS.

YOU MUST THINK HE'S YOUR
KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR.

YOU'RE NOT HERE BY ACCIDENT.

YOU'RE AFTER DONOVAN.

I'M NOT INTERESTED IN DONOVAN.

THEN WHY ARE YOU
TRYING SO HARD

TO GET HIS ATTENTION?

EVEN STOOPING SO LOW
AS TO USE POOR ZARA.

I'M THE ONE
WHO'S PUT THE TIME IN

WITH THAT SPOILED GIRL,

NOT YOU.

AND I ACTUALLY
DEFENDED YOU TO ZARA.

OH, STOP.

YOU HAVE NO RESPECT FOR
WHO I AM TO THE DARCY FAMILY.

NOT ANYMORE, I DON'T.

AND YOU DESERVE EVERYTHING
THAT'S COMING TO YOU.

WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

YOU'LL SEE.

OH, MY GOSH,
I LOVE THIS PLACE.

WHAT IS IT?

WHAT HAPPENED?

LIZZIE!

I FEEL LIKE EVERYONE
IS LOOKING AT ME,

LIKE I DON'T BELONG HERE.

I CAN'T TELL
WHO'S REAL OR FAKE,

WHO'S FRIEND OR FOE.

THIS IS A CHARITY PARTY,
AND THEY'RE ALL FRIENDS.

EXCEPT FOR FELICITY,
OF COURSE.

I DON'T KNOW IF
I SHOULD TELL DONOVAN

WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT ZARA.

OF COURSE YOU SHOULD.

JUST NOT TONIGHT.

THIS IS SUCH
A GORGEOUS PARTY.

LET'S JUST ENJOY IT
FOR ONE NIGHT, OKAY?

THERE'S HENRY.

HE WANTS TO INTRODUCE ME
TO SOME OF HIS FRIENDS.

I HOPE THEY LIKE ME.

YOU...

NEED A SPARKLING
GLASS IN YOUR HAND.

SO IT SHOWS?

HOW NERVOUS I AM?

DON'T KNOW WHY
YOU'D BE NERVOUS.

YOU LOOK....

YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAY.

YOU SAID IT LIKE YOU MEANT IT.

I MEANT IT.

AND IT'S IRRITATING TO ME,
HOW ATTRACTIVE I FIND YOU.

IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT
TO THINK STRAIGHT AROUND YOU.

I DON'T LIKE IT.

WELL, IT IS ANNOYING

WHEN THE PERSON
YOU CAN'T STAND

IS SO... ALMOST CHARMING.

WE DO HAVE A DILEMMA,

AND I THINK THERE'S ONLY
ONE WAY TO ADDRESS IT.

WHAT'S THAT?

DANCE...

SHALL WE?

I THINK IT'S TIME.

KNOW WHAT ELSE IS ANNOYING?

HMM?

HOW WELL YOU DO EVERYTHING.

TENNIS CHAMPION,

AND NOW,

DIVINE DANCER.

IT TAKES TWO TO DANCE.

I FEEL LIKE I'M...

LIVING SOMEONE ELSE'S
CHARMED LIFE.

MAY I CUT IN?

GRANT MARKHAM?

AREN'T YOU HAPPY TO SEE ME?

THIS IS MY DANCE
AND I INTEND TO FINISH IT.

BE SURE TO MIND
YOUR WALLET WITH HER.

SHE ONCE TRIED
TO PICK MINE.

NO...

WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT?
YOU KNOW HIM?

YES.

I'M SORRY,

BUT I HAVE TO GO.

THINK YOU CAN
RUN AWAY FROM ME?

DO NOT TOUCH ME!

YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM THIS.

YOU TRIED TO MESS
WITH MY SON

AND HIS FUTURE.

I TOLD YOU THERE'D BE
A PRICE TO PAY, DIDN'T I?

NOW I'M CUTTING IN.

THE LADY ASKED YOU
TO LEAVE HER ALONE.

SOMEONE FORGET
HIS MANNERS,

DONNY?

YEAH.

I THINK IT'S TIME
FOR HIM TO GO.

EXCUSE ME,

COULD YOU PLEASE
SEE THIS GENTLEMAN

TO HIS CAR?

HE'S BOTHERING OUR HOST.

YOU CAN'T TREAT ME LIKE THIS.

I THINK WE JUST DID.

YOU CAN'T TREAT ME
LIKE THIS!

GET HOME SAFE.

LET'S GET YOU
SOMETHING TO DRINK,

SHALL WE?

I'VE RUINED
YOUR PARTY.

I'D SAY
YOU'VE MADE THE PARTY.

THESE PEOPLE
THRIVE ON GOSSIP.

I DON'T BELONG HERE.

YOUR AUNT AND FELICITY
INVITED MARKHAM

'CAUSE THEY WANT ME GONE.

WELL, THEN LET'S SHUT HER UP.

LET'S SHUT THEM ALL UP.

ANYONE WHO ENJOYS THE GAME

OF "WILL HE OR WON'T HE PROPOSE
TO FELICITY ROBSON?"

HAS THEIR ANSWER.

HE WON'T.

HOW COULD YOU HUMILIATE ME
LIKE THIS, DONOVAN?

HOW?

I CONSIDERED YOU
A FRIEND, FELICITY,

AND A FRIEND WOULDN'T BRING
A SNAKE INTO MY HOUSE,

LIKE WHAT'S HIS NAME.

GRANT MARKHAM.

A FRIEND WOULDN'T BRING
A SNAKE LIKE GRANT MARKHAM

INTO MY HOUSE,

AND I SEE NO REASON

FOR YOU TO BE HERE
ANY LONGER.

OR YOU EITHER, AUNT VIOLET.

HOW DARE YOU?

SHOW SOME RESPECT.

YOU WILL GET MY RESPECT

THE MOMENT YOU START
RESPECTING ME.

NOW, WHERE WERE WE?

THANK YOU FOR A LOVELY EVENING,

BUT IT'S TIME FOR ME
TO SAY GOOD NIGHT.

LIZZIE...

ARE YOU AWAKE?

JENNA...

YOU DON'T HAVE TO KEEP
CHECKING UP ON ME.

JUST GO HAVE FUN.

I'VE HAD SO MUCH FUN.

HENRY AND I DANCED AND DANCED...

AND SO MANY PEOPLE
WERE ASKING ME ABOUT YOU,

AND WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE
DONOVAN'S NEW GIRLFRIEND...

I'M NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND.

THAT KISS SAID OTHERWISE.

THAT KISS DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING.

OH, COME ON.

WE ALL SAW THE SPARKS FLYING.

YOU CAN'T TELL ME

THAT YOU DIDN'T
FEEL SOMETHING.

ALL I FEEL NOW IS HUNGRY.

OH, YOU POOR THING,
YOU DIDN'T EAT.

I'LL GO MAKE YOU A PLATE, OKAY?

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

DONNY, I GOTTA TELL YOU,

THAT KISS THAT YOU LAID
ON JENNA'S SISTER,

THAT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT
OF THE NIGHT, MY FRIEND.

OH, THE KISS...

THE KISS WAS TO...

THE KISS WAS
TO SHUT AUNT VIOLET UP.

THE KISS WAS BECAUSE
YOU LIKE THE GIRL.

WHY WOULD I LIKE
ELIZABETH--

OH, WHY?

WHY WOULD I LIKE
ELIZABETH SCOTT?

SHE'S OVERPROUD--

-BEAUTIFUL--
-AND CRASS--

--INTELLIGENT,
KILLS IT IN A BALL GOWN,

BRINGS YOU TROPHIES,
ALL THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

YEAH, YEAH,
ALL THOSE--

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY
FASCINATED BY HER,

THAT'S A FACT.

ADMIT IT.

MM-HMM.

WE HAVE TO GO.

WE HAVE TO LEAVE,
COME ON.

-WHAT HAPPENED?
-COME ON!

WHAT HAPPENED?

JENNA!

WHAT'S GOING ON?

YOU'RE CALLING A CAB
AT THIS HOUR?

WE'RE GOING BACK
TO NEW YORK.

WE'RE NOT STICKING AROUND
SO YOU CAN USE MY SISTER.

PLEASE, WAIT.
PLEASE, WAIT.

PLEASE, LET ME EXPLAIN.

DON'T TRY TO PRETEND
JENNA MISUNDERSTOOD YOU.

OKAY, I SAID
SOME UNFLATTERING THINGS,

BUT IF SHE HAD JUST
WAITED TWO MINUTES LONGER,

SHE WOULD HAVE
HEARD ME TELL HENRY

THAT I WAS JUST
PRETENDING

WHEN I SAID I DIDN'T FEEL
ANYTHING FOR YOU

WHEN I KISSED YOU,
BECAUSE I DID.

I HAVE SPENT
MY WHOLE LIFE

GUARDING MYSELF

AGAINST THE HIDDEN AGENDAS
OF VARIOUS WOMEN,

MY AUNT INCLUDED,

BUT YOU MADE IT PAST
MY DEFENSES,

AND YOU MADE IT INTO MY HEART,

AND I'VE DECIDED
THAT WE BELONG TOGETHER.

YOU'VE DECIDED?

YOU DON'T GET TO DECIDE
WHO I BELONG WITH!

AND I KNOW THAT.

AND I KNOW THAT I'M...

I'M BUMBLING THIS APOLOGY,

AND IT'S HARD TO DO
WITH YOU STANDING HERE

WITH YOUR BAGS
IN YOUR HAND.

I'VE ONLY JUST
REALIZED

THAT ALL OF MY OBSESSIVE
THINKING OF YOU THESE PAST WEEKS

IS BECAUSE
I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH YOU.

AN UNFORTUNATE FACT
FOR YOU, I SEE.

BUT ONLY BECAUSE
YOU'RE SO OBSTINATE--

AND, CLEARLY,
I ENJOY AN OBSTINATE WOMAN.

PLEASE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.

YOU LOOK FURIOUS.

WHAT DID HE SAY?

HE HAD THE NERVE
TO TELL ME

THAT HE'S
IN LOVE WITH ME.

I REALLY WISH
YOU WOULDN'T GO.

DON'T THINK
WE AREN'T GRATEFUL.

WE ARE SO,
SO GRATEFUL.

BUT IT'S TIME.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

DARCY WOULDN'T
WANT YOU TO GO.

LOOK...

HE SENT YOU A LETTER--

IT CAME BY MESSENGER
THIS MORNING.

I DON'T WANT IT.

I'LL MAKE SURE SHE READS IT.

THEN I'M GOING
TO READ IT.

I DON'T WANT TO KNOW
WHAT IT SAYS.

SO I WON'T TELL YOU.

OKAY...

TELL ME WHAT IT SAYS.

HE THANKS YOU

FOR NEVER BEING ANYTHING
OTHER THAN HONEST WITH HIM.

HE SAYS THAT YOU'RE
THE FIRST WOMAN HE'S EVER MET

THAT DOESN'T TREAT HIM
DIFFERENTLY

'CAUSE OF HIS MONEY.

YOU DON'T EVEN SEEM
TO CARE ABOUT HIS MONEY.

HE LIKES THAT YOU'RE
WILLING TO CHALLENGE HIM

AT EVERY TURN.

HE TALKS ABOUT

HOW HE SEES SO MANY THINGS
DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE OF YOU.

HE SAYS THAT LOVE
CHANGES PEOPLE...

LIZZIE, HE REALLY
LOVES YOU.

I THINK
YOU SHOULD STAY.

HE ONCE TOLD ME

THAT HE'S KNOWN FOR
BEING RUTHLESS IN BUSINESS.

THAT LETTER IS JUST
FROM A WEALTHY MAN

WHO'S FOUND SOMETHING
HE CAN'T HAVE,

AND NOW HE WANTS IT.

I DON'T WANT TO
STAY HERE.

I WANT TO GO HOME.

OKAY, NO MORE AVOIDING ME,

ELIZABETH ANNE.

I TALKED TO GABRIELLE,

AND SHE SAID YOU HAD SOME KIND
OF A ROMANTIC DISASTER.

IT WASN'T ROMANTIC
AND THERE WAS NO DISASTER.

OH?

WELL, IT CERTAINLY
LOOKED LIKE ROMANCE

FROM THIS PICTURE I SAW ONLINE--

WHAT?

AND I LOOKED HIM UP.

HIS NAME IS DONOVAN DARCY.

HE'S HANDSOME,

HE'S RICH,

HE'S FAMOUS--

HE'S ALSO ARROGANT
AND ENTITLED.

EXCEPT WHEN HE'S NOT.

YOU'RE NOT BEING HELPFUL.

WELL, DID YOU KNOW THIS SAYS

THAT HE GIVES AWAY
ALL SORTS OF MONEY

TO FUND
ALL KINDS OF SCHOOLS

AND HEALTH CLINICS
IN POOR AREAS?

WHY, THIS ONE SAYS

THAT HE GIVES AWAY
MORE MONEY TO CHARITY

THAN ANYONE ELSE
IN ALL OF NEW YORK.

LET ME SEE THOSE.

ISN'T THAT A MAN
WHO CHANGES LIVES?

IT'S WESTON HIGH SCHOOL.

...AND ALONG WITH
YOUR REINSTATEMENT,

THE BOARD HAS ALSO VOTED
TO FAST-TRACK THE RAISE

YOU'D NORMALLY GET
AFTER FIVE YEARS.

THAT'S ALMOST
A 20% INCREASE

IN YOUR SALARY.

WOW.

THAT'S SURPRISING.

WHAT HAPPENED?

THIS IS OFF THE RECORD,

BUT WE'VE RECEIVED
SOME INFORMATION

ABOUT GRANT MARKHAM--

INFORMATION THAT PUTS

HIS ASSERTIONS
AGAINST YOU

IN...

A DIFFERENT LIGHT.

MRS. MARKHAM HAS
ALSO APPARENTLY

BEEN PRIVY TO THIS INFORMATION.

SHE'S RESIGNED FROM THE BOARD

AND WITHDRAWN HER SON
FROM THIS SCHOOL.

AND THIS INFORMATION...

WOULD IT HAVE COME
FROM DONOVAN DARCY?

I'M NOT AT LIBERTY TO SAY.

WELL, THEN I WON'T SAY
WHAT I THINK

OF THE BOARD'S PRIORITIES,

AND HOW THIS SCHOOL IS RUN--

ELIZABETH...

SO I'LL JUST LEAVE IT

AT "THANK YOU,
BUT NO THANK YOU."

OH, LIZZIE,
YOU JUST MISSED IT!

THE SWEETEST REUNION!

HE LITERALLY
SWEPT HER OFF HER FEET.

HE PICKED HER UP,

AND HE TWIRLED HER
IN HIS ARMS.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

ISN'T IT AMAZING?

HENRY SAID THAT
HE'S RENTED A PLACE NEAR HERE

SO HE CAN COME DOWN
ON THE WEEKENDS

TO BE CLOSE TO ME.

I SHOULD HAVE RENTED
A PLACE SOONER.

DONNY ACTUALLY
SAID AS MUCH.

HE SAID THAT IF I DIDN'T
FOLLOW MY HEART,

HE WOULD, UH, BEAT
THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME.

DONOVAN SAID THAT?

RIGHT BEFORE HE FELL OFF
THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

HE'S GONE MISSING.

HE AND ZARA BOTH,
ACTUALLY.

THAT IS, NO ONE KNOWS
WHERE THEY'VE GONE.

I'M HAPPY

THAT THE TWO OF YOU ARE
GOING TO BE TOGETHER.

THANK YOU.

IS IT TOO SOON

TO LOOK AT
WEDDING DRESSES?

MOM!

LET'S GO HUMOR HER.

HI, DONOVAN?

IT'S ME, ELIZABETH.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT
THAT I TALK TO YOU,

APOLOGIZE TO YOU...

SAY HOW SORRY I AM
FOR THE WAY THAT I LEFT.

IT WAS WRONG OF ME TO DO THAT.

I READ YOUR LETTER.

I READ IT OVER
AND OVER AGAIN, AND...

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

AND I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU, TOO.

I LEFT DONOVAN
ANOTHER MESSAGE,

TOLD HIM I MOVED BACK,

THAT I'LL BE LOOKING FOR
A TEACHING JOB HERE,

AND THAT I'LL BE STAYING
WITH YOU IN THE MEANTIME...

TOLD HIM I'M PRETTY MUCH
WAITING ON HIS DOORSTEP

FOR HIM TO COME BACK.

HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING TO YOU
ABOUT WHERE HE MIGHT BE GOING?

NO.

I THINK YOU BROKE HIS HEART.

I BROKE MY OWN HEART, TOO.

IF ONLY HE'D COME HOME.

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE,
THERE'S A DOG SHOW THIS WEEKEND.

YOU COULD
ENTER BLISS.

NO, DONOVAN'S NOT
ON THE SCHEDULE AS A JUDGE.

WELL...

I'LL DO IT ANYWAY.

YOU LOOK VERY PRETTY

TODAY, BLISS.

OH...

BUT I DON'T KNOW
IF MY HEART IS IN IT.

OOH!

OKAY, FINE, I'LL STICK IT OUT.

NUMBER ONE...

NOW CALLING NUMBER ONE.

HEY, ARE YOU NUMBER ONE?

THEY'RE CALLING YOU,

AND THE JUDGE DOESN'T
LOOK TOO HAPPY ABOUT IT.

ALWAYS LATE.

YOU'RE HERE.

MISS SCOTT.

I, UH, I LISTENED
TO YOUR MESSAGES.

YOUR VERY SATISFYINGLY
CONTRITE MESSAGES.

YES.

CONTRITE.

SO CONTRITE.

I WAS ESPECIALLY SATISFIED
TO HEAR YOUR CONFESSION OF LOVE.

DOES THAT MEAN YOU STILL....?

AM I STILL
IN LOVE WITH YOU?

YES.

EVEN MORE THAN I KNEW.

AND I'M...

I'M STILL VERY FIRM
IN MY DECISION...

THAT YOU AND I BELONG TOGETHER.

ALTHOUGH...

YOU ARE A DIFFICULT WOMAN
TO SWEEP OFF HER FEET.

CONSIDER ME SWEPT.

YES!
