With Jane heartbroken and the family's fortunes looking shaky, Mrs. Bennet produces her masterstroke: a 'perfect match' for Lizzie in the form of Mr. Collins — a pompous, self-important suitor who works for the wealthy Ms. de Bourgh and treats courtship like a business arrangement. He installs himself in the Bennet home, name-drops his employer, and crowds Lizzie at every turn while her mother pushes relentlessly and her father openly enjoys the spectacle. When Collins finally corners Lizzie and delivers his proposal like a sales pitch — a 'sensible arrangement' — she turns him down flat, twice, and he mistakes it for playing hard to get before the truth lands. Mrs. Bennet erupts that Lizzie will be the ruin of them all; Mr. Bennet quietly sides with his daughter in his driest register. Days later, over coffee, Lizzie is still marveling that Collins proposed to HER — until Charlotte Lucas calmly reveals he called her next, and that she said yes. Charlotte isn't looking for butterflies; she's looking for a roof. The sensible match found a taker after all — just not the one anyone planned — and Charlotte's cool gospel from the week before becomes real.

Scene: The cozy, lived-in Bennet family living room at golden hour, warm amber light. Mrs. Bennet stands center, triumphant, holding up her phone (its back to the viewer). In the foreground Lizzie stands with her arms loosely crossed, wary and unconvinced. Jane sits calmly on the sofa behind them. Mrs. Bennet: 'I have found the perfect match for you, Lizzie.'

Scene: Two stacked panels. Top: Mr. Collins, a doughy, sweaty, over-eager man in a too-tight slate-grey suit and loud novelty tie, leans forward in the open front door with one hand pressed to his chest, beaming. Bottom: a tight close-up of Lizzie's deadpan, unimpressed face. Mr. Collins: 'The Bennets — even lovelier than advertised!' Lizzie (thinking): 'Advertised.'

Scene: The warm Bennet living room. Mr. Collins sits crowding the sofa, holding his phone up toward his own admiring face (the viewer sees only the back of the phone). Behind him, Mrs. Bennet clasps her hands, delighted. Mr. Collins: 'Ms. de Bourgh personally approved my shortlist.'
