Emma points out similarities between General Tilney and the Thorpes, we discuss what constitutes public triumph and how we're being set up for Northanger Abbey.

The third Tilney sibling appears and makes Catherine doubt her dear Isabella

Emma and I discuss the screwed up family dynamics of the Thorpes and the time of reasonable expectationWe did look for "One Wedding Brings on Another" but the only reference was to this book

Amme schools us on linguistics (descriptivism over prescriptivisim) and I prove how very old and out of touch I am with modern language usageI introduce Amme to Jane Austen’s History of England and mention Blackadder beating up Shakespeare

Emma and I cheer Catherine as she grows a spine and stands up for herself

Amme thinks General Tilney is too smart to fall for John Thorpe’s shit and suggests that John Thorpe is a gambler 

Emma and I discuss how Mrs Allen has failed as a chaperone and enjoy hating on the Thorpes

Amme and I discuss how Catherine reveals her crush to both Tilney's while the Thorpe's continue to talk too much

Emma and I discuss the hyperbole of the Thorpe siblings.
