Benjamin unexpectedly finds himself tasked with helping Edward, and he looks quite dapper in his new uniform. While he’s managed to stay sober thanks to Potter’s support, he’s still a bit awkward socially. Potter guides Benjamin to approach Adelaide with the goal of paving the way for Edward, but Benjamin is hesitant. Adelaide, however, is very direct, immediately approaching him as Christine watches. Like Olivia, she gets straight to the point, playfully asking if his wealth means he’s looking for a wife, referencing *Pride and Prejudice*. Once she quickly realizes he isn’t rich – something she likely already knew – she lays all her cards on the table. He’s there representing Edward, who has a list of potential brides. And Olivia wants no part of it. She’s not interested in getting married, and she doesn’t even like Guinness. That’s a tough break.
