It’s an eventful day at Longbourn, as Lizzy's cousin Mr Collins finally makes his move. But despite Mrs Bennet's fulsome encouragement, his unromantic marriage proposal falls on deaf ears, and Lizzy turns him down - several times.   

Meanwhile, things aren’t looking so bright for Jane and Mr. Bingley. His scheming sister Caroline has whisked him away to London, where she's lined up a much richer potential bride-to-be... Mr Darcy's little sister Georgiana.
