One day, Pip and Biddy hang out together while Pip studies and Biddy listens to Pip reading aloud. Pip begins to think that Biddy is a great person to talk to and express his emotions to. 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.
