Pip goes back to the village where he finds Miss Havisham again. This time alone. Although she looks different. A little afraid and lonely. Pip requests for £900 for Herbert’s career. Miss Havisham is willing to hand over the money and is also willing to do whatever Pip requires her to do. Pip then says he doesn’t want money. Miss Havisham begs for Pip’s forgiveness and Pip exclaims that he has already. Pip tells her that he is unable to hold a grudge against anybody. Miss Havisham continues to tell him how she did not realise the things she had done. She says she did not realise until Pip expressed his love to Estella. She says that she relates to Pip. Pip tells Miss Havisham that she should try and heal Estella’s emotionless self. Pip asks how Miss Havisham found Estella and she tells him that she asked Jaggers to find him a daughter and he did. He brought Estella to Miss Havisham. Pip leaves the house and decides to walk in the ruined garden. He goes to the old brewery and hallucinates seeing Miss Havisham hanging like a witch. Pip decides to go and check on Miss Havisham once more. He peeks into the room and sees her wedding dress had caught fire. Pip runs and tries to put out the fire by wrapping her in a table cloth on the wedding table. Everything falls over and Pip holds the tablecloth on her until the fire is out. They call a doctor and one shows up while Miss Havisham lies on the wedding table. Pip realises that his arm had been burned but Miss Havisham’s injuries are a lot worse.The next morning Pip says goodbye to Miss Havisham as he leaves and kisses her on the lips.

One day after rowing for ages on end, Pip feels a little depressed. Pip runs into Jaggers on the street and Jaggers invites him out to dinner. Pip accepts the invitation. At Jaggers house, Wemmick finally contacts him and passes a message from Miss Havisham which tells him to come and visit. Jaggers reveals that Estella had been married to Drummle and that he may start hurting her. Pip gets very surprised and heartbroken. Pip notices Molly the housekeeper and notices that her gestures are very similar to Estella’s. Pip decides to ignore it for now. As Pip walks home with Wemmick, Pip asks for Molly’s story. Wemmick goes ahead and tells him that Molly was one of Jagger’s clients back a long time ago. She was extremely attractive. She was also accused of murdering another woman out of jealousy. This woman was found dead in a barn. Jaggers helped her and dressed her up in a childish outfit to use the argument that she is too small and weak to murder someone at court. It was also suspected that Molly had killed her child so this was used against her. In the end, Jaggers managed to free Molly and prove her innocent, by telling the court of the real murder and not one she was suspected for. Due to this, she went and worked as Jagger’s housekeeper. Pip asks the gender of the child and Wemmick replies that she is a girl. Pip is extremely confused.

As a month passes, Pip does not receive any word from Wemmick. Herbert is in need of money and Pip hands over his wallet as he would feel bad if he asked Magwitch. In addition, Pip asks Herbert not to mention the name Estella again. Meanwhile, Pip is also rowing and rowing while waiting for the command from Wemmick.

Clara is very attractive and it is noticeable that her and Herbert love each other. Pip gets closer with Magwitch but tells him that they won’t be able to communicate often. Although he tells him that they can communicate through Herbert. Magwitch gives himself a new name; Mr Campbell to avoid trouble. Pip and Herbert think of a plan to get Magwitch out of the country. The plan is; Pip will make rowing a hobby and one day he will pick Magwitch up and row away to another country. Pip is fond of the idea but keeps having a feeling where he feels he is being watched.

After the warning note, Pip goes to a close by roach motel where he spends the night mostly awake. In the morning, Pip heads for Wemmick’s castle.
