One Sunday, while the two are taking a stroll and Pip confesses one of his deepest secrets to Biddy, that he wants to be a gentleman. Pip has been haunted ever since Estella made the comment that he was common and she reassures him that it is not true. Biddy advises Pip to forget about the comment and Estella but Pip ignores her advice.

Pip is four years into his apprenticeship when one Saturday, a strange man bursts into the Three Jolly Bargemen who asks them who they believe to be the murderer in Mr Wopsles recent murder story. Pip Joe and the ‘strange man’ all walk home where they find out the man is Mr Jaggers, a top London lawyer who is here mainly for Pip. Pip is about to inherit a huge fortune and will become a gentleman. Mr Jaggers offers Joe some money as compensation for losing an apprentice but he rejects the offer.

The following morning, Pip cant wait to go to London, Pip tells Joe that he will never forget him. Pip and Biddy get in to an argument as Pip asks to Biddy to teach Joe everything she knows.

After a five hour carriage ride to London, his ‘driver’ delivers Pip to Mr Jaggers office and is made to wait for Jaggers as he is in court. Pip meets Wemmick, they both go to his apartment and find a note left by Mr Pocket saying that he will return soon. Wemmick leaves and Mr Pocket arrives bringing strawberries. All of a sudden they realise they knew each other as they had an argument at Miss Havishams house a few years ago.

Pip thinks that he will get in trouble for hitting the random boy, but nothing happens. When he returned to Miss Havishams and covered up the blood with leaves. Pip pushed Miss Havisham in the garden for three hours as a ritual. Miss Havisham asks Pip and he says that he intends on doing an apprentice with Joe. The ritual last for a few months. Miss Havisham asks Pip to invite Joe with him the next time he goes to her house, after hearing the new Mrs. Joe is furious that she isn’t invited.

On the day of their visit, Joe is very excited and he can’t make out what he wants to wear so he puts on his finest clothes. Pip wishes that Joe could just act normal. Mrs Joe is accompanied by Mr Pumblechook as she remains annoyed that she isn’t invited. Miss Havisham tells Joe that Pip has earned £25 as an investment in Pips apprenticeship. Joe is surprised and Miss Havisham says to never expect that amount of money from her again. Mrs Joe and Mr Pumblechook go crazy at the amount of money they were given. Pip was taken to the courts that day to confirm that he will be a  blacksmith for the rest of his life. That night everyone celebrated at the Three Jolly Bargemen except Pip.

Pip is depressed because his house reminds him of how far away they are from being wealthy.

After Pip learns all he can from Mr Wopsles great aunt, he urged Biddy to tell him everything that she knows. He then tries to teach Joe everything he knew. Pip and Joe go to the old battery on the marshes for their lessons. One day Joe and Pip are hanging out at the battery and Pip asks Joe if he can finish work early to visit Miss Havisham at the Satis house. Joe doesn’t think it is a good idea as she may think hes only going for more money. Joe eventually decides to give Pip his half day. Mrs Joe is annoyed at Joe for being to lenient with his workers as he gives his other employee Orlick a holiday. Orlick and Mrs Joe have an argument and Orlick then fights Joe which he is knocked out in. When Pip gets to Miss Havishams house he is told he wont be given more money but he assures her he is only there to say thank you. Pip bumps into Mr Wopsle who invites him to Mr Pumlechooks house to read the play. They find Pips sister Mrs Joe knocked out unconscious after being hit in the back of her head with something.

There is a mutual feeling that one of the recently escaped convicts is to blame. Pip suspects that Orlick is to blame for this. Pip feels guilty for what happened as a leg iron was found which reminds of him helping the escaped convict a few years ago. Mrs Joe has lost her hearing and has minimal vision and she can barely move or talk. She has a chalk board to right on but no one can really understand her writing.
