Our Mutual Friend

John Harmon's body is pulled from the Thames; Bella Wilfer goes into mourning.

Lizzie Hexam is courted by Eugene Wrayburn, a dissolute barrister, and Bradley Headstone, a mentally-deranged schoolmaster.

As the rivalry over who will take Lizzie's hand in marriage intensifies, Lizzie flees; Mr. Boffin becomes a tyrant.

Harmon plans to claim his fortune from the Boffins; after having a brush with death via Headstone, Eugene decides to do the honorable thing with Lizzie.
