In the aftermath of the dramatic events in the woods and Wickham's arrest, Elizabeth reassures the staff at Pemberley that all will be well, but it's becoming clear that Darcy feels everything is very far from well and he starts to retreat from his wife as he seeks to protect the household against the scandal.

The trial draws to a close and Wickham's fate looks sealed until a last-minute turn of events back at Pemberley reveal a surprising suspect much closer to home. It becomes a race against time to prove who is the real culprit and save an innocent man from death by hanging.
