Now may I kill George please?
By the way, re the Gig story - she never explained the hottub.
Takes on a new meaning now ...
Also, Wickham made a comment in an earlier Lydia vlog that they "hadn't done anything yet" (this was after the post which ends with them kissing) ... so that theory lol linked to above might have some merit ...
I read the theory by Courtney Milan and I'm really hoping it doesn't end that way. Poor Lydia. I really want the sisters to patch things up (dang, I want happy endings!!).
On the other hand, Lizzie seems to have warmed to Darcy a lot. ;D
I wanted to say one more thing (before I stop talking about the LBD for a bit). If it turns out, in the next video, that Lizzie has not watched Lydia's recent vlog posts, despite apparently having free time on her hands to film her video, I will be sad and very disappointed in her.
Also (Ok, two things), please, please have Gigi help out with solving the Wickham situation rather than getting into trouble! You've been awesome so far, LBD, don't stop now!
... And Lydia finds out ... poor lydia ...
By the way, Mrs Bennet hinting to Lizzie to move out - I thought that was a bit ... unnecessary ...

Wow, she's amazing, isn't she, Mary Kate Wiles? I had assumed Lydia knew, because was in silent in social media on thursday and friday. Having her find out in front of the camera, though... wow.
Also, it's hard to tell for certain because of how upset she was, but I think her words implied the sex tape is real.
ETA - or, having watched it again, maybe not. I mean, the first thing she says is 'this is a joke' and variations on that. Gah. Impossible to tell. Will we have to wait till friday to find out, almost a whole week since this episode was filmed? I'm guessing (and hoping!) that a lot more of the story will appear on social media before then.
What I want to know is what did Wickham say?
I'm thinking maybe it did happen, but Wickham probably said something along the lines of "let's capture this moment forever" and that he'd never show it to anyone. If it wasn't real, I'd probably expect Lydia to be more angry than devastated.
That's IF they even slept together - go back, there is an episode where he complains that they haven't (it's a throwaway line ...).
Can't wait to see Gigi's next video. She tweeted that she's going to make it!
Nef, I remember that throwaway line, but I reckon after he confessed his "love" for her, she probably was tricked into sleeping with him.
I don't think it crossed my mind that the sex tape is fake - I think it was pretty real based on her reaction and I assumed that Lizzie showed her the site... And how he managed to trick her into allowing him to record, well smart people do stupid things. I know of a friend who let someone she was sleeping with take video footage... I guess when one likes someone or yearns to be wanted and liked and noticed, they don't consider their danger or consequences of doing silly things such as recording themselves doing such things. We can all say we would NEVER allow someone to do what Wickham did - record any intimate moments, but when you are caught up in the moment, and he is oh so persuasive and manipulative.. sigh
Poor Lydia!

I'm really curious to know what the next Lydia vlog will contain. My first thought was that perhaps we wont see one for a little while, going on the assumption that a person would lie low rather than put up a youtube vid while the sex tape site is running. Another reason why I thought that is because Gigi's Pemberly Digital vids began at what could be a very strategic time to keep Darcy/Fitz/herself in the story telling, and cover the absence of the Lydia vlogs.
Jing! Jing! Jing!
I have so much emotional investment in this ship. Aaaaaaah.
I hope we find out exactly what happened at/after the party. I'm assuming it was all Caroline's doing. Maybe she'll tell Lizzie the story when she takes over Lady C's scene.
It is nice to return to Jane and Bing after all the crazy drama. I'm looking forward to Lizzie's Mrs Bennet performance next time. Total nostalgia for the first third of the series.
Is Caroline taking over Lady C's scene???
Also, yays to Jane and Bing! Snickerdoodles! Though I don't remember Bing walking in with a bag (guess I need to rewatch). Actually it just occurred to me that Bing is a bit of a strange name...hmm :S
Well, they're not going to introduce Lady C now, so someone has to do it. I suppose it could be Mr Collins, but Caroline would be better.
New partners for Pemberley Digital apparently. I'm actually a tiny bit disappointed. I know it's the obvious equivalent to marriage for this show, but I was actually hoping Lizzie wouldn't end up working for Pemberley.
I don't think she will, because unlike with Mr Collins, they have been faithfully portraying the overall arc between Lizzie and Darcy as a romance. Suddenly turning away from that to reduce their relationship to a business partnership is very unlike the writers, and very unlike the book. While it made sense initially with Collins, it would not at all make sense with Lizzie and Darcy because their relationship has always been a romance.
Oh, there is definitely going to be a romance, but in the book Elizabeth marries Mr Darcy and moves to Pemberley. In this, I imagine she will still have the romance, but the move to Pemberley will also involve a business partnership.
Hmm, but what if Lady C wants to join Collins and Collins with Pemberly and hence has the scene with Lizzie to dissuade her from partnering with Darcy. I mean, Lady C was against the marriage idea and if marriage equals business partnership, I could see this happening.

Can I just take a moment to express how incredibly proud I am of Jane?
She doesn't just take Bing back after he walks back into her life, but she doesn't try to punish him either, just says 'we're friends only' and treats him civilly despite how much it hurts her.
But after that, she also listens to what she wants, leading her to give him a second chance with conditions. She sets fair boundaries that are clearly defined right from the begining. She gives a little, but doesn't let Bing off the hook. Like seriously, so proud.
Yeah, I loved that episode, Sian. I was a little worried about the Jane and Bing plot, as what Bing does in LBD is a whole lot worse than what Bingly does in P&P. I think I said here earlier that I didn't want them getting back together, but I am happy with the way show handled it. It doesn't let him down too lightly and it shows us strong, smart, career oriented Jane who sets boundaries and is honest about what she wants.
I wonder how many more episodes. At least four, probably more.
There are going to be 100 episodes in total according to Bernie and the last will be on March 28th (29th for us).
Noooooo. It's too soon. I'm really going to miss it. [act]*cries*[/act]
Was totally right about Caroline playing Lady C! Also, I'm glad we got the closure about the mysterious goings on at Bing's party. It would've bugged me if they're left it as it was. Darcy next, please!
That was a good episode - and actually a good resolution of the Caroline character - you don't hate her AS much, because you get that in her controlling fashion, she is trying to help.
But you still hate her.
