In these two chapters, Doctor Thorne learns that his niece's other uncle, Roger Scatcherd, has made him the executor of his estate. Inside of his will he has stipulated that if something should happen to his son, his only heir, then the bulk of his estate, which includes $200K, will go to his sister's first born child, which just so happens to be Doctor Thorne's niece Mary. Doctor Thorne spends the bulk of the remaining chapters going back and forth debating on whether he should tell Roger about this development.

The way Trollope continues to add dimension to the story through multiple plot lines always impresses me, but this one in particular I was surprised by. I knew that Mary would need to inherit in some way so that she could be with her obvious future man, Frank Gresham the younger, but I truly did not know how it was going to happen. I am curious to know if Roger Scatcherd, her unknown uncle, will come to be known to her or if he will die before she or Doctor Thorne can make him aware of the situation.

Doctor Thorne's internal struggle in regard to the future well-being of his niece and the seemingly underhanded way it might occur contributes to his upstanding character.

In these two chapters quite a lot happened. So Alex's girlfriend says "i love you" to her, and Alex doesnt know how to react b/c she's too scared to do it, so she doesn't respond, which obviously makes her girlfriend upset. Her girlfriend starts to second guess their entire relationship, saying that the whole time Alex has never been fully committed and doesnt know how to be in a relationship. And this makes Alex realize that was never fully committed to their relationship but she really does love this girl, and wants to prove it to her. The next chapter is in Molly's perspective, and it's about how nervous she is to leave for college because shes very introverted, she doesn't have friends. When she gets to college she gets put in a single, and in her mind that means she lost the one chance she had at making at least one friend. Her since the start of high school, Cora, also goes to that uni, and she's the complete opposite of Molly. Molly has literally been in love with this girl for many years and has never gotten the courage to speak to her, and she hopes to get over her fear. Essentially, both chapters are about Molly and Alex's incredibly different feelings about going to college and their goals.

In these chapters, Molly is trying to branch out and interact with people now that her hopes of bonding with her roommate are ruined. Someone from her high school invites her to a get together (which turns out to be a sex ed game party😂)
Alex looks for a job and tries to think of ways to show Natalie that she can be trusted and can be in a relationship.

I didn't think that Alex would have this reaction towards Natalie when she told her she loved her. But i understand that she has family trauma that keeps her from opening up and being intimate with someone. I honestly felt kinda bad for Molly when she realized her room was a single. She doesn't really know how to make friends so i can imagine her devastation when she realized her one chance at making a friend was ruined.

I thought it was so funny that Molly went to the sex ed party to make some friends. I was surprised that Alex wanted a job but then i remember that she has bills to pay and is sending her mom money.

Molly and Alex meet at a party that Cora invited them to. At first Alex is kind of a b word to Molly because she's so introverted and quiet, and she lowkey steals Cora from her. But Alex, thinking of her promise to Natalie, respectfully declines Coras' hookup invite. She realizes that Molly likes Cora, and she vows to help her get the girl. They start hatching a plan to get Molly to talk to Cora and possibly get her number, and Alex finally lands a job.

My reaction to Alex lowkey stealing Cora away at first, i was annoyed b/c shes supposed to be proving to herself and Natalie that she can be trusted and be in a stable relationship, but i was impressed that she didn't give into temptation and hookup w/ her. Im also really impressed that she wants to help Molly get with Cora but I'm starting to second guess if shes doing to because she genuinely cares or if its all for show, and if Natalie trusts her again will he just leave Molly?

In these chapters, Molly and Alex start their plan by teaching Molly how to get someone's number. They go to a coffee shop and she's actually successful at getting a random guy's number (lowkey super surprising). Alex starts her job with this creepy guy's food truck and is actually really good at it. Molly's mom calls her asking about the party and how' shes adjusting to college, and basically invites herself over. Alex tries to Molly ask out Cora during class, but she ends up inviting herself and Alex to get breakfast w/ Cora and her friend.

Molly's trial and error with trying to become more extroverted

I was so surprised that Molly was able to get a random person's number because she's an incredibly shy person. Im still wondering if Alex is doing this because she cares about Molly or if its just to get what she wants, and will Natalie feel the same way? Is this enough to get Natalie back?
