Mr. Elton leaves for Bath, Emma comes clean to Harriet about Elton's true feelings and Knightley and Emma discuss Frank Churchill's circumstances. Plus, the intro of our new segment, There Are Always Dogs: A Doc Update.

Study questions: Topics discussed include Elton's departure and Harriet and Emma's reactions to it, whether or not Frank will visit, who's right: Emma or Knightley, why Knightley hates Franks, class status and power, love, and the institution of marriage.

Questions moving forward: Is Elton coming back? Is Frank Churchill coming? Will Martin come back? Is Emma going to continue matchmaking?
