Becky has moved in with Matilda Crawley and seems to have a bright future ahead of her. However, war is brewing which threatens the fortunes of the scheming social climber and everyone she knows.
Becky takes an unimpressed Matilda to meet the Sedleys, unaware that they have fallen on hard times with Mr Sedley forbidding Amelia to marry George Osborne though the young couple rebel and are wed. Meanwhile Becky falls foul of Matilda and Sir Pitt when they learn that she has secretly married Rawdon. However news that Napoleon Bonaparte is waging war in Europe overtakes everybody with Becky proposing to Amelia that they accompany their soldier husbands to the continent.—don @ minifie-1
