There were some big reveals this week on The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. Get all of the details in our (brand new) weekly review, and then let us know – what did you think?
Lizzie’s video: “Consequences”
On Monday’s episode of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, we saw Lizzie (Ashley Clements) trying to deal with the revelation from last episode – that there is a website advertising a sex-tape between her sister Lydia (Mary Kate Wiles) and her ex George Wickham (Wes Aderhold). Scandal! Not only that, but the website design features the supreme horror of glitter text. Uh oh. The big reveal of this episode was, of course, that Lydia had no idea about the website’s existence until now.
Gigi’s video: “Tracking”
On Tuesday we saw the third video promoting Pemberley Digital’s new application ‘Domino’ (don’t get too excited, it’s a fictional device). The videos are supposedly to show off the various features of the app, but really they’re just a way to showcase The Real Housewives Darcys of Pemberley Digital. Yes it’s unlikely an actual company would upload these kinds of videos, but just go with it.
This video gave us more of Team Figi, the Gigi (Allison Paige) and Fitz (Craig Frank) team who are shipping Dizzie like crazt. Fitz rang in to check on Gigi, was he out tracking Wickham with Darcy (Daniel Gordh)? And speaking of the hipster in question, we caught a glimpse of him looking exhausted in a carpark and forbidding Gigi from becoming involved. Too bad Gigi knows Wickham well enough to suggest some places to start the search – maybe Darcy will have to listen to his sister after all.
Lydia tweets George
In the transmedia follow-up from Monday’s episode, it looks like Lydia lost a follower (a certain @TheGWickham), leading to several desperate tweets from her twitter account.
Lizzie’s video: “Sisterly Support”
On Episode 86, Jane (Laura Spencer) was back, bringing some much needed perspective. Since last video, it seems like everyone knows about the scandal thanks to Lizzie, who has told Jane and (the unseen) Mr Bennet. More than anything, this video seemed to be a response to those fans asking “Why would Lizzie put all of this stuff online if she wants to keep it secret?” We’re glad to see Jane back, and having lost her job, it looks like the gang is all back together again, minus Charlotte. We miss Charlotte.
Gigi’s video: “Query”
Finally, we have another Gigi/Pemberley video, which by now seem to have lost all pretence of being about showing off the application, aside from the occasional ‘Domino’ cues. Whatever, we’re here for the drama anyway. Darcy and Fitz have got their hands on a possible phone number for Wickham, which Gigi (successfully) demands to have. She texts him, the recording ends – will he bite?
