The truth of a secret

NCIS special agent Todd has a secret that could but the whole team into danger what happens when the news about the death of her dad triggers her powers to become stronger then she ever thought she could she will need to tell them before the nemesis of her youngest sisters best friend strikes again with a changed up mo she will have to reveal the secret to the rest of the team that doesn't know but how did the team take it.

One day after the news and secretly harnessing the new straight over distance training with her sisters (who became stronger as well )and a phone call she decides to tell the team one by one. Helene goes to sleep peacefully in her Alexandria apartment and Kate follows suit in her dc apartment while back in the sisters hometown Maura and Jane follow their night routine falling into bed side by side as they have done for a long time now back in her Beacon Hill home. The next morning Jane and Maura are faced again with the sculpting change in mo and Helene is enjoying a peaceful morning yoga session with both of her sisters and Jane’s as well. After yoga they all go off to work and Kate with a renewed sense of determination to help rid her sisters best friend of her personal nightmare she walks into work and sits down and goes though the files as the rest of the team filters in and she decides to go downstairs to train a bit more before Abby comes in to work. After finishing the training it hits her who it is with the files maura has sent over along with Claire’s on Lindsay’s personal nemesis she races back upstairs to the team all drowned in their own work and Salone waiting for her

Hey Kate whats up i've been waiting

Sorry Jack i was training and going though Mauras and Claires files and i found something

Then what is it Kate

Um i can't say because, she says gustering to her working team mates behind her and what will they think

Katie it won't matter their your family like the Rizzoli’s are mine they haven't treated you any differently sense they found out like my family you owe this to us we all have faith in you,Maura’s voice whispers though her necklace as Jack smiles and nods at Kate's smile and calls the attention of the bullpen

Gibbs and a majority of the team minus Tony looks at Kate's body language and face and smiles and he breaks the silence and gently says what do you got Katie

The jackpot Gibbs the victims all shows signs of multiple serial killers as you all and dr . Mallard after consulting dr. Washburn in san francisco the calling card of the kiss me not killer but if you all could note the missing hands and slit thorout the calling cards of Dennis Rockmond who recently kidnapped dr Isles the chief medical examiner of the commonwealth of massachusetts my home state and the calling card of the surgeon Charles Hoyt who is known for escaping for one condition and to kidnap bpd detective Jane Rizzoli four times for the last time on his deathbed with the me Dr.Isles so it is by my and Ducky’s personal and professional opinion to call them in because there is an fbi card and dna of agent Gabriel Dean on the body who knows all of these details thanks to captain connors and the warehouse shooting and unrelated but subsequent death of both Paddy Doyle jr. and sr and one of which only has three children with mend ceo and founder Hope Martin her only daughter Cailin Martin is a pre med student at bcu as she had previously believed the triplets to be dead but Paddy sent them to Constance and Autor Isles who are both well off in their own way she smiles at her family's photos and whispers to each of them a solo message to her dad you did what you could to protect us were the only thing you'd protect more firmly than your grasp on the city thanks for the letter dad well each read it when where ready i miss you we know you loved us in your own way and made sure Maura and we are safe you ended the terror and had them all turn themselves in each to life setnatnces to her mom and half sister we all love you we knew Maura would be the one to save you but you've made up for lost time see you both when i'm in town and to her mother and father the ones that raised her we all love you you protected us you got me here Helene to bcu and Maura to her best friend see you at the next istation mother thanks for trying and father thanks for trying to heal that rift between us love you both. She smiles and nods to Ducky”make the call as you already ran this by everyone who needs to know. She smiles with slight trepidation until she feels her surge of power knowing her sisters are safe a few hours later.

4 months earlier after Jane and Maura reconciled after the accident. At work the day after Kate loses balance with McGee and Torres on scene immediately knowing her sister over exerted herself and almost leads to her fainting but Gibbs helped them set her down and whispers in her ear(tell them katie) she nods and grasps the gem out of her necklace that hold the outfit that shows her true life and her real family.

Guys i need to show you something but you need to promise me not to tell Tony i can't risk him knowing this

They nod

She smiles and hugs them then here we go she lets the gem go flowing above her head shining brightly as ever and encases Kate in the light changing her outfit and hair to her half sisters hand made leather jacket her leather skirt with black tights and combat boots with a tight fitted dress with a irish flag pin and the crown from her bio dad as the eldest and her mothers bracelet and the choker of mend that they all have and Maura has the headband and Helene has the crown as does Maura they each have their own specially made crowns

Mcgee looks shocked Kate whats going on

Tim i'm not taking my birthright none of us are there all dead or in jail with life threatening harm

Torres us what do you mean by us and what the hell is your birthright

Kate smirks and leans against the tree conjuring all of her patience

I'm the eldest of three Helene Ruyanon Tenured professor at bcu in our homestate and Maura Isles the chief medical examiner of the commonwealth of massachusetts and i'm an Isles not a Todd i didn't want our name to push me ahead i wanted to work for it as did Helene. Maura the youngest and the youngest student in med school top of her class but I'm actually not an Isles weather me and my sisters are adopted. She waves her hand and her normal curls form and her hair slightly lightens while keeping its natural shade. She smirks at the confused looks on their faces and glances over to Gibbs who notices the look in her eyes and backs the team up

Let me show you boys my birthright follows me. They nod dumly and Kate's smirk turns into a smile and she pushes off the tree abruptly grabs their hands turns them into the tree she grabs the gem that the three of them have time to tell you what happened yesterday Jane and Maura reconciled after an accented after our dad's death in the wherehouse swipe he would have shot her but then he wouldn't have anyone to protect his youngest and the princess of the family Maura our mother always had thought we were dead but now with what's happened she knows we aren't but it was for the best with Paddys enemies after us at the time now that's all ended

Wait a minute Paddy Doyle head of the most feared Irish mob in Boston found someone to have kids with can I see something Kate

Kate smirks always Tim don't worry I can change back so he won't know what do you want

Your finger for a print running through the database

You don't believe I'm his eldest abbs has the DNA to prove it and the tunnel of hope in sariavjo

Yes I do Kate and it's true but it's still you none of you are like him

No if anything Maura's like our mom Kate says as the gem shifts her back to her outfit and lands in her hand to be placed back in and she smiles at Gibbs getting back to work he comes up to her just as Tony's arriving to whisper proud of you Katie Tony will know in due time. Kate smiles and nods at his ghost and Gibbs smirks go crazy Kate just make it subtle Doyle

Father daughter share mirror smirks and Kate works away as Tony comes to her side

I told you you'd pay for yesterday well my friend was injured and nows that time I have a little friend she nods at the ghost of her father and he begins the day of crazy and in the end he leaves with one prank with his eldest and this message keep up the good work and help protect your sisters love you my girl she smirks as she sets the last prank up before activating it with the family powers.

A few weeks later after the crazy baker case and Maura didn't want to abandon Jane so they trained together but this time kate had decided to train by rearranging her desk on her break when Jack and Grace walked back downstairs after their appointment and Jack smiles at her keep it up Kate each of you are using your powers for what's needed

It took a few months but the team took it well and they were all more accommodating to her power surges and that leads us to now with her and helene soundly sleeping and or medatanting from the strength of knowing that her sister is safe and with Jane

Gibbs is next to her and says tony needs to know and she smiles in agreement the mind message me and jack should get going if want to meet her. A year after the case they have all moved to be closer to Maura.Kate settles down with her sisters and they each think back to that let those letters that they got one from their mom one from their dad. So as happy for your wedding as I am and I am , I can't wait for the wedding and don't worry Tony won’t know I promise you.

She smiles and nods.

6 months later at the wedding in which both of their mothers and their dad and the whole of the homicide division and crime lab as well as one of Jane's informants the entirety of the rizzoli clan minus frank and almost the whole of the ncis crew and Helene and Cailin and Jill, Cindy and Claire along with Lindsay and Serena and with Abbie. This was the party

Susie was her maid of honor then Isla and Lilly with her sisters along with Cailin as bridesmaids and Jane’s best person is Vince with Barry and her sisters are up alongside the happy couple with the crowd smiling and Angela, Constance and Author along with Hope are crying happy tears. As the event draws to a close they head off on their pre approved month long leave in Paris and promises to help each other train well the others do what they can in the states

A month later they return home Kate to her ever present job with happiness and more pictures to put on her desk as she feels comfortable with the pictures being out because her family knows and that's what matters to her. So this is the order of photos her with her sisters, her mother and the triplets with Constance and Author, and her with the wedding party and the crews as well , Cindy, Jill, Clarie with the wedding party, and a rizzoli family photo as well and of course the solo photos with jane and her sisters and her own as well. The team filters in as Kate finishes up with her family magic in placing the photos on her desk the team that was at the wedding smiles at Kate’s clear happiness for her youngest sister minus Tony she spends that morning training and talking with Jack then she heads back down to make true on the promise to her sister of sketching the wedding party using the wedding family photos as a reference point. She happily sketches away when she answers the call from Linsday who she almost instantly sparked up a kinship with.

Hey Kate

Hey Lins what's up i'm working on the thing i promised Maura

Good good see you in town when your done

Always

She smiles as she ends the call and gets into sketching the family around the wedding party and while she finishes up with Cailin Tony walks up to the desks after his lunch break.

Whats up Katie what are you doing

Sketching and making true on a promise and i have to add color

Abby smiles at the paper and says looking good Katie and I can't wait to see the finished product. It's looking just as good as that day.

Thanks Abbs and of course you will im just about done with it ill be done by tomorrow and i'm taking a sabbatical for a few weeks to help them move Angela and enact their secret plan

Fun

Yep considering they already started and succeeded and Helenes down there with her baby drama

Well tell them congrats from me and the team will fly down toward the end of your sabbatical just promise to keep me updated

I will love you all of you

While in their home town the family will be split four ways and Angela has moved about a month before Helene had her Baby Boy Jackson and Jane and Maura came clean about their plan knowing that they couldn’t hide it any longer. This is the text she sent her the day of each of those events along with a little of the surprising news themselves.

She got it done we each get a fourth of the estate and a fourth of MEND. and everything is going well

Congrats Kate

And Angela is all moved out and they are going to have to tell her considering that their having twins a two lovely girls and their considering naming them after their sisters so yay and Helene’s about ready to pop

Poppy Field

follows the struggle of a young Romanian gendarme, Cristi, who tries to find the balance between two apparently opposing parts of his identity: that of a man working in a macho hierarchical environment and that of a closeted gay person who tries to keep his personal life a secret. While his long-distance French boyfriend, Hadi, is visiting him, Cristi is called in for an intervention at a movie theatre, where an ultra-nationalist, homophobic group has interrupted the screening of a queer film. After one of the protesters threatens to out him, Cristi spirals out of control. — CineEuropa

Branford Marsalis Helps Bring Charlotte Symphony and Subscribers Back Together at Last

Review: “Branford Marsalis Plays Ibert” concert By Perry Tannenbaum More than 15 months had elapsed since my wife Sue and I had sat together at Belk Theater and enjoyed a Charlotte Symphony concert – exactly 15 months since we had seen Gabriella Martinez with the orchestra on Valentine’s Day at Knight Theater. Needless to say, much had changed since our last night out in Uptown Charlotte. Until…

The Boy Friend, U.S. premiere of London hit. Book, music, & lyrics by Sandy Wilson. Produced by Feuer & Martin. Orchestrations: Ted Royal and Charles L. Cooke; Choreography, John Heawood; Directed by Cy Feuer. Royale Theater. Opened Sept. 30, 1954 and closed Nov. 26, 1955 (485 performances).

Cast Polly Browne………………Julie Andrews Tony………………………..John Hewer Philippe……………………Jimmy Alex Madame Dubonnet…….....Ruth Altman Percival Browne…………..Eric Berry Susanne……………………..Lyn Connorty Gendarme………………….Douglas Deane Hortense…………………….Paulette Girard Lord Brockhurst………… ..Geoffrey Hibbert Lady Brockhurst…………. ..Moyna MacGill Dulcie………………………… Dilys Lay Charles………………………. Vincent Lynne Monica……………………….. Berkley Marsh Bob Scheerer………………..Bobby Van Husen Nancy…………………………Millicent Martin Marcel/Pepe………………. ..Joe Milan Fay/Lolita………………….….Stella Claire Pierre…………………………..Jerry Newby Alphonse…………………….. Buddy Schwab Maisie…………………………..Anne Wakefield Waiter………………………….Lyn Robert Guests………………………….Mickey Calin, Marge Ellis, Phoebe Mackay

Sixty-five years ago today, Sandy Wilson’s The Boy Friend opened on Broadway, after having been an enormous hit in London. It was an affectionate pastiche of the musicals of the 1920s, especially Rodgers & Hart’s The Girl Friend, and remains the most successful attempt to reincarnate Roaring Twenties theatrical style in a new show. Set on the French Riviera, it concerned the attempts of a young heiress to find a boyfriend. Having been warned by her father that potential suitors were only interested in her money, she pretends to be penniless, but falls for a boy who is working as a messenger. He is actually the son and heir of a peer.

In the starring role of Polly, the producers cast an unknown 19-year old British music hall singer named Julie Andrews. She was a great success, winning a Theatre World award and coming to the attention of Moss Hart and Alan Jay Lerner, who were looking for a leading lady for a new show they were creating—a musical version of Shaw’s Pygmalion.

Years later, Andrews wrote of the premiere, “It was September 30, 1954, the eve of my nineteenth birthday, and I will always remember that performance. The orchestra was superb, the company was superb, and every laugh I hoped to get came my way. The reception at the end was unbelievable. The audience rose to their feet as one, stomping and cheering. People danced the Charleston down the aisle as they exited the theater.”

Inspector Warren Jacobi (Tyrees Allen) – Lindsay's loyal partner. He was up for the lieutenant position that went to Tom, but has not expressed much disappointment that he didn't get the job, seeming to prefer field work to the politics of the higher position. He also seems to prefer the finer things in life, having an affinity for wine, 30-year-old whiskey, and opera. He is thrice-divorced and has a child from one of those marriages.

Lieutenant Tom Hogan (Rob Estes) – Lindsay's ex-husband, who in the first episode was promoted to lieutenant and assigned as her boss. He is engaged in the pilot and has remarried by "To Drag and to Hold," but he still worries that Lindsay's obsession with her work will consume her. Tom was played by Christopher Wiehl in the unaired pilot.

Deputy District Attorney Denise Kwon (Linda Park) - Jill's immediate superior at the DA's office, she clashes with her over her "bleeding heart" style. She is also antagonistic towards Jill due to her past romantic history with Hanson North. When the show returned after the writers' strike, the first episode credits no longer showed her name. But by the second episode, she was back in the credits as a series regular.

Recurring cast[edit]

Luke Bowen (Coby Ryan McLaughlin) – Jill's ex-boyfriend. He is an ER doctor at the fictional Mission Cross North. Jill and Luke have recently broken up after he finds that she had slept with Hanson.

Hanson North (Kyle Secor) – Defense attorney who has a romantic history with Jill and is currently seeing her boss, Denise Kwon.

Ed Washburn (Jonathan Adams) – Claire's husband. Currently uses a wheelchair full-time after being shot while serving as a police officer.

Heather Hogan née Donnelly (Ever Carradine) – Tom's new wife. She is a kindergarten teacher who is eco-friendly, planning a green wedding.

Pete Raynor (Joel Gretsch) – Lindsay's love interest in season 1, who is in town for only two weeks.

She was requalified as an NYPD officer to work with the OCCB task force. In season 3 episode 16 ("Chinatown"), she is promoted from Detective 3rd Grade to Detective 2nd Grade.

Tamara Taylor as Prof. Angela Wheatley (seasons 1–2), a former math professor at Columbia University, ex-wife of Richard Wheatley, and a suspect in the hit ordered on Kathy Stabler. She committed suicide and presumably murdered Richard at the same time after discovering that Richard was responsible for her son Richie's murder.

Dylan McDermott as Richard Wheatley (seasons 1–2), son of notorious mobster Manfredi Sinatra, now a businessman and owner of an online pharmaceutical company who leads a second life as a crime boss, and was a suspect in the murder of Stabler's wife. He was presumed murdered by Angela after she discovered that Wheatley murdered their son Richie.

Rick Gonzalez as Detective 2nd Grade Bobby Reyes (season 3–present), an undercover detective with the OCCB.

Chicago pd

Jason Beghe as Sergeant Henry "Hank" Voight, the enigmatic and often mercurial chief of the Chicago P.D.'s Intelligence Unit. Despite his brutal, tough exterior, he is loyal to the cops and detectives serving under him and highly "dedicated" to the victims of the crimes his unit investigates to the point of committing human rights violations, mainly torture, and not respecting the law. He is first introduced in Chicago Fire as a dirty cop who clashes with CFD Lieutenant Matthew Casey after Voight's son, Justin, causes an accident in which a teenager is paralyzed, and Casey, who was first on scene, had intended to testify that Justin was DUI. He is arrested by Det. Antonio Dawson for trying to have Casey silenced by force but is later released from prison and reinstated to the police force by Internal Affairs. As a result, many of Casey's colleagues dislike him, and Casey's superior Chief Boden has a love-hate working relationship with him. It is eventually revealed in the Chicago Fire episode "Let Her Go" that his dirty cop alter ego was part of an undercover operation to catch criminals and other dirty cops. Prior to taking command of Intelligence, Voight worked in the Gang Unit. His father Richard was a former CPD officer who was killed in the line of duty. Voight is a widower; his wife, Camille, died of cancer some years prior. His son, Justin, served in the Army and was killed in the last episode of season 3 while trying to help a friend. Voight took an interest in Erin Lindsay at 14 and raised her as his daughter.

Jon Seda as Senior Detective Antonio Dawson (seasons 1–6), an Intelligence Unit detective who previously arrested Voight for harassment and has since worked alongside him. Unlike Voight, he has limits on how far he will go to get criminals off the streets, as shown by the fact that he asks Halstead to stop Voight from killing anyone while on the hunt for Pulpo because he does not want it on his conscience. He and his ex-wife Laura have two children: Diego and Eva. He is the older brother of Chicago Fire character Gabriela "Gabby" Dawson. In season 4, he is offered a job at the State's Attorney's Office as Lead Investigator, which he accepts. After becoming disillusioned with the job, he returns to the unit in the first episode of season 5. In season 6, Antonio struggles with recovering from a shoulder injury and dependency on the oxycodone he is taking for the pain. After a dealer he owes kidnaps, beats, and rapes his daughter, Antonio, high on oxy, kills him in revenge. Though Voight and Ruzek manage to cover up the incident as self-defense, and Antonio successfully recovers in rehab, mayor-hopeful Superintendent Brian Kelton later gets the case reopened in order to take down the Intelligence Unit, and in the season finale, Antonio relapses after Ruzek is arrested after taking the blame for everything to protect him. In the season 7 premiere, it is revealed that Voight found Antonio and checked him into an off-the-books rehab clinic to get him clean again while also protecting his career. It was revealed several episodes later that Antonio resigned and moved to Puerto Rico to spend more time with his family.

Sophia Bush as Detective Erin Lindsay (seasons 1–4),[7] a tough Intelligence Unit detective and former CI whom Voight took under his wing when she was a juvenile delinquent. Because of this, she is closer to Voight than the other members of the unit. She has a half-brother, Teddy Courtney, who was taken by a pedophile ring at age thirteen and was found turning tricks in New York City 10 years later. She was in a relationship with her partner Jay Halstead from seasons 2 to 4. Near the end of the fourth season, Lindsay is accused of assault after she sticks her gun down a pedophile's throat in the interrogation room; facing possible dismissal from the police force, she accepts a job offer at the FBI in New York and leaves Chicago.

Jesse Lee Soffer as Senior Detective Jay Halstead (seasons 1–10), an Intelligence Unit detective who was Detective Lindsay's partner. A former Army Ranger, he is confident in his abilities and sometimes comes across as cocky. He also suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, shown progressively during Season 5, later seeking therapy for it. He is the older brother of Chicago Med character Dr. Will Halstead. He was in a relationship with his partner Erin Lindsay from season 2 until she transferred to the FBI in New York at the end of season 4. He later marries fellow detective Hailey Upton in season 9. Following Olinsky's death and Antonio's resignation, Halstead becomes Voight's right-hand. He later resigns from the force early in season 10 after becoming disillusioned with the gray area the Intelligence Unit has to work in, and returns to the Army in a new job hunting drug cartels in Bolivia.

Patrick John Flueger as Officer Adam Ruzek, a younger police officer recruited straight out of the academy by Olinsky to do undercover work. He is often portrayed as an overeager amateur who dives headfirst into a situation without thinking. His parents are separated, and he split time between his father, "Disco Bob" Ruzek (Jack Coleman), a longtime patrol officer with the 26th District who lives in Beverly, and his mother in Canaryville. He was engaged to fellow police officer Kim Burgess.

Marina Squerciati as Officer Kim Burgess, a former flight attendant turned uniformed patrol officer who was Atwater's partner. She was then partnered with Sean Roman before his departure. Burgess is shot in "Called in Dead" and spends the next episode recovering. She was engaged to Adam Ruzek; the relationship is later broken off because of commitment issues. She later develops feelings for Roman before he moves to San Diego. In season 4, she is offered a job in Intelligence, which she accepts.

LaRoyce Hawkins as Officer Kevin Atwater, a uniformed patrol officer who was Burgess' former partner until he was promoted to the Intelligence Unit. He is responsible for caring for his younger siblings, his brother, Jordan, and sister, Vanessa. After his brother testifies to a grand jury about a crime he witnessed, and Vanessa is threatened with rape for her brother being a snitch, he sends them to live with their aunt in Texas.

Archie Kao as Detective Sheldon Jin (season 1), a tech and surveillance expert. He was discovered to be a reluctant mole working for Internal Affairs sergeant Edwin Stillwell, who had leverage to make him cooperate. He is found murdered in the first-season finale episode, "A Beautiful Friendship".

Elias Koteas as Senior Detective Alvin Olinsky (seasons 1–5), a veteran undercover officer and a friend of Voight who previously worked with him in the Gang Unit. Before joining the force, Olinsky served in the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team stationed in Vicenza, Italy. Olinsky mentions in "Called in Dead" that he has eight confirmed kills in the line of duty. At the end of the fifth season, Olinsky is arrested for the murder of Kevin Bingham, the man who murdered Voight's son, Justin, and is later stabbed to death via a hit in prison while awaiting trial.

Amy Morton as Sergeant Trudy Platt (season 2–present; recurring season 1), a sarcastic desk sergeant of District 21, and the immediate superior of the district's patrol officers. Before taking a desk job, she was a uniformed patrol officer, and worked with Dawson. She passed the detective's exam twice. Platt is married to Chicago Fire character Randy "Mouch" McHolland.

Brian Geraghty as Officer Sean Roman (seasons 2–3; guest season 7[8]), a brash patrol officer who partners with Burgess after transferring to the 2-1 from District 31. He transferred out because of his relationship with Jenn Cassidy (Spencer Grammer), who is now a K-9 officer, to avoid breaking fraternization rules. He has his own private security company on the side. After being wounded in the line of duty, and with the department feeling he would be unable to return to patrol, he resigns and decides to join the San Diego Police Department.

Tracy Spiridakos as Detective Hailey Upton Halstead (season 5–present; recurring season 4), a tough former robbery-homicide detective and Erin Lindsay's replacement following her departure to New York. Upton gets transferred to the FBI field office in New York City in season 7 episode 18, "Lines", to temporarily fill in for an agent undercover. She has great relationships with her CIs and goes to many lengths to protect them. Despite a dark turn in Season 7, she is mostly a "by the book" detective. She is married to former Detective Jay Halstead.

Lisseth Chavez as Officer Vanessa Rojas (season 7), a rookie and Antonio Dawson's replacement following his resignation. She previously worked in an undercover operations unit.

Benjamin Levy Aguilar as Officer Dante Torres (season 10; guest season 9[9]), a recruit who had a complicated past and was recruited under Detective Halstead's wing.Recurring[edit]

Samuel Caleb Hunt as Greg "Mouse" Gerwitz (seasons 1–4), the tech and surveillance expert for the Intelligence Unit who replaces Detective Jin. He had served in the same Army unit as Halstead. After he persuades Voight to get a felony expunged, he resigns from Intelligence to reenlist in the Army.

Stella Maeve as Nadia Decotis (seasons 1–2), an 18-year-old former escort and addict whom Lindsay tries and succeeds in helping. She later becomes the Intelligence Unit's civilian administrative aide and was studying to be a police officer. She was murdered by Dr. Gregory Yates in Law & Order: SVU's 16th season, episode "Daydream Believer", the conclusion of the season's second SVU/Chicago crossover event.

The lizzie bennet diaries

Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bennet (Ashley Clements;[11] Elizabeth Bennet in the novel) is the middle Bennet sister and the narrator of most of the vlogs. She is a graduate student studying mass communications and, like her original counterpart, believes women should be highly educated and do more with their lives than simply pursue husbands. She is very close with her best friend, Charlotte Lu, who was born on the same day as she, as well as her older sister, Jane, while appearing to have a more strained relationship with her younger sister, Lydia. While it is clear that she cares for her family and friends, she can also be fairly prejudiced and quick to judge people who she perceives as condescending or a threat to her way of life, such as Darcy and, at first, Bing Lee.

Charlotte Lu (Julia Cho;[12] Charlotte Lucas in the novel) is Lizzie's best friend and often the director/editor of her vlog. Charlotte wants to be a filmmaker and convinced Lizzie to start her vlog as part of a school project. While the original character of Charlotte Lucas from the books is a minor character, Lu's role in The Lizzie Bennet Diaries has been greatly expanded; she appears in many of the beginning episodes, and, according to both Lizzie and Jane, practically lives at the Bennet house. Charlotte and Lizzie have a falling out after Charlotte accepts Ricky Collins' job offer (which Lizzie originally turned down), but the two soon reconcile.

Jane Bennet (Laura Spencer[13]) is the eldest of the Bennet children, and an overworked, underpaid merchandise coordinator in the fashion world. She is incredibly polite, sweet and, according to Lizzie, "practically perfect in every way."[14] When Bing Lee moves into town, Jane is immediately smitten with him, much to the absolute joy of her mother. Jane is devastated by Bing's sudden departure. She moves to Los Angeles for both a new job and the hope of reconnecting with Bing. She later returns to her home to support her sister Lydia through her difficulties. After this is resolved, Jane is offered a new job in New York City and reconciles with Bing.

Lydia Britney Bennet (Mary Kate Wiles[15]) is the youngest Bennet child, currently attending community college. She is "feisty, energetic, and unapologetic."[16] Lizzie, somewhat less kindly, describes her as "too old to be on any reality shows about having babies in high school."[14] She has also created a series of her own videos starring herself, her cousin Mary, and her cat, Kitty.[17] On the occasion of her 21st birthday in December 2012, she and Lizzie get into a bitter argument about Lydia's perceived immaturity, and Lydia makes plans to vacation in Las Vegas for New Year's Eve, where she meets George Wickham and begins dating. Later, after being the victim of George Wickham's money-making site, she makes up with her sisters.

Bing Lee (Christopher Sean;[18] Charles Bingley in the novel) is a young, wealthy Asian-American medical student who has moved into The Netherfield House in the same neighborhood as the Bennets. He quickly falls for Jane Bennet and begins to date her. Bing abruptly leaves Netherfield and Jane by returning to Los Angeles, breaking Jane's heart, after Darcy suggests that Jane is only engaging in a relationship with him for his money and Caroline tells him that Jane flirted with another guy at his birthday party. However, after a run-in with Lizzie during her time at Pemberley Digital, he makes a return, having quit medical school to pursue his own passions. He and Jane move to New York together in episode 92.

Caroline Lee (Jessica Jade Andres;[19] Caroline Bingley in the novel) is Bing Lee's sister. She is aware of Lizzie's vlog diaries and appears to help Lizzie keep Bing and Darcy from discovering them during Lizzie and Jane's stay at Netherfield. She has a romantic interest in William Darcy, although her feelings aren't reciprocated. She is later revealed to have attempted to manipulate events to keep Bing and Jane apart, as well as (to a lesser extent) stymie Darcy's feelings for Lizzie. Caroline reappears in the sequel, Emma Approved, as Senator James Elton's fiancé, replacing Augusta Elton, the original wife of Philip Elton, from the novel.[20]

Ricky Collins (Maxwell Glick;[21] William Collins in the novel) is a former classmate of Lizzie and Charlotte's, who asks that he be addressed only as Mr. Collins. He has formed an alliance with venture capitalist Catherine de Bourgh, to attempt a foray into the world of web video. Mr. Collins frequently visits the Bennets while in town for a few weeks and, near the end of his stay, offers Lizzie a lucrative job at his company, Collins and Collins. Lizzie turns him down, so he offers the job to Charlotte, who accepts. This decision causes a brief but bitter argument between the two best friends, but they reconcile after Charlotte invites Lizzie to visit Collins & Collins (in the fictional town of Hunsford, California), where Lizzie also learns to tolerate Mr. Collins.

William Darcy (Daniel Vincent Gordh;[22] Fitzwilliam Darcy in the novel) is Bing Lee's best friend and the wealthy heir to an entertainment corporation called Pemberley Digital. He stays with Bing and Caroline at Netherfield until they all leave for Los Angeles. He first meets Lizzie at a wedding, and she overheard him telling Bing that she was "decent enough", which is when her dislike towards him starts. He is described by Lizzie as a snobby and condescending robot, and Jane has difficulty coming up with a flattering descriptor of him, beyond "tall";[23] Charlotte, however, believes that Darcy has a crush on Lizzie.[24] For a long time, second-hand characterization is all the audience has to go by, as Darcy is referred to but never seen, making his first appearance in episodes 59[25] (only from the neck down) and 60,[26] where he confirms Charlotte's suspicions by confessing his love for Lizzie.

George Wickham (Wes Aderhold[27]) is the coach of a university swim team who forms a short-lived romantic attachment with Lizzie. He claims that though he and Darcy were childhood friends, Darcy ruined his life by withholding money Darcy's father had promised, thereby ending George's hopes of a college education.[28] He leaves town for work, eventually re-entering the story after New Year's Day, where he meets and becomes romantically involved with Lydia, as chronicled in her spin-off videos. At the same time, Lizzie learns that George gambled away all the money the elder Darcy left for him, and then took advantage of Gigi Darcy, William's sister, for more. Finally, he attempts to exploit "YouTube Star Lydia Bennet" by releasing a sex tape of the two of them online.[29]

Fitz Williams (Craig Frank;[30] Col. Fitzwilliam in the novel) is Darcy's friend and colleague. Lizzie meets him while dining with Catherine de Bourgh, Darcy's aunt and Charlotte's boss. He has a boyfriend, Brandon, whose name was officially confirmed on Fitz's Twitter, and is particularly good at making care-packages.

Georgiana "Gigi" Darcy (Allison Paige;[31] Georgiana Darcy in the novel) is William Darcy's younger sister and a graphic designer at Pemberley Digital. Her first appearance in The Lizzie Bennet Diaries was Episode 77. She is aware of the video diaries, and claims to like them. She and George Wickham were romantically involved, but this ended when William proved that George was taking advantage of her for the money. Twitter posts between Gigi and Fitz suggest that she actively tries to push Lizzie and Darcy together. She is also instrumental in helping to end George's money-making plot: though the website itself did not list his name and George had stopped returning calls, he answers Gigi when she calls him, allowing Fitz and Darcy to track him down. Thereafter Darcy bought out the company which owned the rights to the sex tape, preventing it from ever being released.

Mrs. Bennet is Lizzie's mother. She appears to be a traditional Southern woman, eager to see her daughters married and interested in little else besides neighborhood gossip. She is almost always impersonated by Lizzie.

Mr. Bennet is Lizzie's father. He appears more calm and levelheaded than his wife, though one of his favorite activities, according to Lizzie, is winding her up.[32] He has a special fondness for bonsai trees and prepares a train extravaganza every Christmas. He is often impersonated by Charlotte and Lydia.

Catherine de Bourgh (Lady Catherine de Bourgh in the novel) is Darcy's aunt and an extremely wealthy venture capitalist who is the primary investor in Collins & Collins, the new media firm run by Mr. Collins, where Charlotte accepts a job offer after Lizzie rejected it. Catherine is very attached to her sickly dog who she calls Annie Kins. She is quick with her opinions and judgements. Charlotte said that Catherine is "on Team Caroline," meaning that she wants her nephew to be with Caroline. She is impersonated by Lizzie, and Ashley Clements says her impression is a combination of Julia Child, Miranda Priestly and Dolores Umbridge.[33]

Mary Bennet (Briana Cuoco[34]) is Lydia, Jane, and Lizzie's cousin who has appeared sporadically in Lydia's vlogs and once in Lizzie's. She becomes better friends and occasional tutor with Lydia while Lydia is staying at her house despite their opposing personalities. She is often the "forgotten" character and her Twitter reads, "I am Mary, never forgotten." Mary also has a boyfriend by the name of Eddie (a subtle nod to the character of Edmund Bertram from Austen's Mansfield Park.)[35] In the novel, she is actually one of the five Bennet sisters, being the middle sister between Elizabeth and Kitty.

Kitty Bennet (Rosie of House Wiles) is Lydia's cat who appears in Lydia's vlogs. In the novel, she is actually one of the five Bennet sisters, being the second youngest after Lydia.

Poppy Field

Cristi (Conrad Mericoffer) is passionately in love with his boyfriend; one can see it the moment the Frenchman arrives, come to stay for a few days in Cristi's small Romanian apartment. They kiss in the elevator with the hunger of a couple too long apart. When he's finished his next shift, Cristi says, he doesn't want to get out of bed until the weekend. But when his sister pops by, he's secretive about the situation. His boyfriend doesn't understand why he isn't more open. It's complicated, Cristi says.

The central incident which this film revolves around is based on real life occurrences in Romania, not least an incident at the Museum of the Romanian Peasant in 2013 when religious fundamentalists interrupted a screening of The Kids Are All Right with a homophobic demonstration. Called out to attend such an infraction, Cristi is immediately worried about the possibility of being outed. Apparently concerned that his own unconscious behaviour will somehow betray him, he overcompensates, becoming hostile and uptight - very different from the way we have seen him at home. Although his colleagues seem to think this is out of character, there's a suggestion that he has been overly aggressive in the past. When one of the gay men at the event recognises him, his behaviour grows more extreme.

Contrasting noisy, demanding crowd scenes with periods of stillness during which the tension builds and builds, Eugen Jebeleanu's highly polished début film feels at times like an assault on the senses, giving viewers a taste of Cristi's emotional state. Troubled as he is, he is sometimes a difficult person to be close to, but Merricoffer's performance will keep you rivetted nonetheless. Ioana Moraru's script persistently defies expectations, eschewing any simple resolution to keep us in this uncomfortable space. Meanwhile, we get to learn more about Cristi's working environment and discover that his colleagues are more complex and varied individuals than his fear might suggest.

Alongside concerns about how his colleagues might react if they knew his secret, Cristi is clearly struggling with internalised homophobia, going to extremes to ensure himself that he's still enough of a man by traditional standards, which makes him seem out of touch with modern thinking to some of his colleagues. His resentment of the gay man who confronts him draws on a complicated mixture of emotions which include envy of the ability to live openly - but is it really his own belief system, more than anything tangible, that's keeping him from doing likewise? Over the course of the night, as the officers try to deal with he stand-off in the cinema and prevent it escalating into full blown conflict, the events we witness and Cristi's reactions keep us questioning the subtleties of what's going on.

All the characters here are well drawn and well acted, with nobody really fitting into the black and white worldview that has Cristi in its grip. Some wonderful little vignettes give supporting cast members time to shine. Jebeleanu's handling of the crowd scenes is masterful, with the film occasionally feeling like a documentary. His downbeat approach keeps it believable even when the protestors are spouting the kind of bizarre ideas that, if you haven't been caught up in similar confrontations yourself, you may struggle to think anyone would really say. There are absurdities throughout the film but they're very much a part of the real experiences that the director is seeking to address. Poppy Field is spot on, and it reveals aspects of the wider damage done by prejudice that are rarely seen onscreen.

Hamilton High School AU 33

John came upstairs soon after and scooped him up, holding him close and rocking him. "What happened?.. Are you okay?"

"I'm a jealous dirt bag.." he muttered. He didn't want him to think that Mary had done anything wrong, it was supposed to be all in good fun, but he had to tell him how he felt. "I'm just so used to you saying I'm the cute one. It's stupid and dumb and I.." He paused for a bit. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.."

John frowned and cupped Alexander's face. "Hey.. Breathe. It's okay, I'm right here for you. I didn't mean to hurt you, you are cute to me. You're my boyfriend and I love you so much." He kissed his forehead. "You have my complete attention right now."

"I just feel bitchy... Mary didn't do anything and I just.. I.. Stupid moments!"

"Hey, hey.. It's okay. Deep breaths, Alexander."

Alexander nodded and took deep breaths with John, feeling himself calming down. He sat up after a minute and kissed him, wrapping his arms around his neck and resting his forehead against John's as he pulled away. "I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to have a moment like this.."

"I know. I understand." He pecked his lips. "Have you been taking your medicine?.."

Alexander frowned and grabbed the tube from his backpack, knocking back a pill with some water. "I think I forgot yesterday.. But not on purpose, I promise."

"I believe you. I was just asking. You're trying and that's all that matters."

Alexander smiled and put the tube back in his backpack. They'd done wonders for his usually erratic mood lately. "So.. What did your siblings say?..." He knew getting their approval was crucial.

"They were just worried and wanted to make sure you're okay." He kissed his forehead. "We can stay here as long as you need."

Alexander smiled and shook his head. "I think Mary would break my neck if I stole you for too long.."

John's phone buzzed and he checked to find messages from Hercules coming through.

[Herc: yo] [Herc: my parents are throwin a sort of 'welcome home ma' thing 2moro nite] [Herc: you guys in?] [Herc: wait im dumb] [ Herc added Alex to the chat ]

Alexander's phone began to buzz in sync with John's now.

[Herc: party @ mine 2moro] [Herc: bring booze :P] [Herc: also sorry in advance for my terrible, terrible parents]

[Laf: Ooh! Sounds like fun!]

[John: I'm down.]

John smiled. "I think it sounds fun. We can be here for the rest of the day and the day after or find something to do with all of my siblings."

[Laf: Can't wait to get drunk with my friends again 💗]

[John: You're such a sap.]

[Laf: You hush.] [Laf: Can I bring Rosie, please?]

[Herc: I'd be offended if you didn't bring her, kitten! <3]

[Alex: r u calin laf kiten or rosy?]

[Herc: I dont think I called anyone 'kiten' ]

[Alex: u suck] [Alex: OMG] [Alex: LAF] [Alex: bring moer of teh wine frm last tiem if u hve any 💗💗💗] [Alex: it was so goooood]

[Laf: I don't, but I can definitely find another good bottle.]

[Herc: Dad says he's got whiskey and cola if u guys want some]

[Alex: ew]

[Herc: ma's got prosecco?]

[Alex: i forgt how much i love ur mom]

[Laf: You can bring that vodka you were hiding in your room.] [Laf: Unless I wasn't supposed to mention it.] [Laf: Then nevermind.]

[John: Now its sounding like a party.] John chuckled and turned to Alexander with a devious grin. "Hiding vodka in your room? Such a rebel." He teased, repeating what Alexander had texted him during class. "If Laf wasn't supposed to tell me, I could keep it quiet for a kiss." He wiggled his eyebrows playfully and leaned in for a kiss.

[Alex: dam it laf] [Alex: sfine tho] [Alex: #canttameme]

[Herc: hah!] [Herc: Did you use fake id to get it? ;)]

[Alex: No, i told them i was ur son, buyin it 4 his old man]

[Herc: ...touche] [Herc: Jack's gonna be wrecked <3] Alexander laughed at the conversation before turning to John. "What are you gonna do? Tell the teacher?" He smirked back, mirroring John's response before granting him that sweet kiss. He lingered his lips lovingly over John's for a few seconds more than usual before grinning into them and pulling back. "Is my deep, dark secret safe?"

John smiled and kissed back, cupping Alexander's cheek gently. "Your secret's safe. For now. But you owe me more kisses later, once I don't have four kids waiting downstairs for me. Right now, what do you say to going downstairs with them and getting some food?"

[Laf: Glad you're not upset! : D] [Laf: I give it ten minutes before John will be wasted.]

[John: You guys need to fuck off.] .

[Herc: We did that last time and you guys complained ;D]

[ Alex has left the chat ]

[ Herc added Alex to the chat ]

[Alex: dnt traumaties me!] Alexander shoved his phone into his pocket before nodding to John's suggestion.

[Laf: : O] [Laf: Herc has no shame!] [Laf: And neither do I!] [Laf: I was the most sober one and I clearly remember John banging on the door and asking us to stop about halfway through.]

[John: I] [John: was] [John: drunk!] [John: So shut up!]

[Laf: Whats the fun in that? : P]

[John: We'll see you guys tomorrow.] He put his phone in his pocket and held Alexander's hand as he led him downstairs. "Pizza time!" He gave everyone a plate of pizza and they ate in the living room, the kids putting on Moana and John singing along to every song like a kid.

Mary sat up on the couch with Alexander, everyone else on the floor. "Are you okay?"

Alexander nodded. "Of course. John made me feel better." He smiled. "You've got the best big brother in the world."

"I know." She smiled proudly.

Alexander returned the smile and kept eating as he watched the movie, occasionally rubbing his leg against John's side to say 'I'm happy you're here' without being too mushy.

After another minute, Mary couldn't stop herself from asking, "Why does dad hate Johnny so much?.. All he did was like a boy.."

It took a lot of self-restraint for Alexander not to go on a rant about how much of a homophobic ass their father was, but it wasn't up to him to tell her. "Things are complicated.. They won't always be like that, but you have to be strong for him right now."

Mary nodded, accepting that answer. "Okay.. You'd better take care of him until then..."

Alexander smiled. "Of course. But.." He upped his volume since the movie was over. "Does that mean I can't kick his butt at Super Smash Bros?"

John grinned and turned around, the other boys already turning the game on. "I'm going to destroy you."

"We'll see about that," he shrugged as he stretched, smiling at the empty plate in his lap. He only ate one slice, but progress was progress.

John took the plates to the sink and put the pizza in the fridge before coming back and sitting beside Alexander, kissing his cheek.

The boys gave them both a controller and let them duke it out, wanting to watch before joining.

"Promise to love me after I destroy you?" Alexander teased as he chose Jigglypuff.

"I would if you had a chance," John shot back, choosing Kirby before starting the game. For the most part, he only attacked when he had a weapon, button mashing the fan seeming to be his favorite, or when Alexander was weak enough to just be thrown off the side, in which case he just spat his character off the edge of the stage. "So close, but so far." He grinned before leaning in for a kiss.

"Says Mr B-down Kirby," Alexander whined, refusing to give John a kiss in mock heartbreak. "Woe is me," he sighed dramatically. "I'm left so defeated, I can hardly look at you. Mary will have to be my new best friend."

"Yay!"

John pouted, but he couldn't stop himself from smiling as Alexander got along with his baby sister. "You're just going to replace me like that? If you're too tired to kiss, the least you can do is let me kiss you," he whined in response before draping himself over Alexander, covering his face in a flurry of kisses.

Alexander laughed before finally letting himself kiss John, smiling lovingly as he did. "Alright, I guess you can still be my best friend. Only because you buy me food." He glanced over at Mary. "You're a close second, though."

She, like the boys, pretended to be heartbroken, groaning. "I guess that's okay."

John chuckled and kissed Alexander again, catching him off guard.

And he was never going to stop loving when he did that. He knew it. But he was a bit embarrassed being around John's siblings. "We're going to gross out your brothers."

"They're all zoned out. They'll be fine." John smiled and kissed Alexander's cheek. "Besides, I've got you trapped." At some point, he had, in fact, trapped Alexander under his weight, though he was careful not to hurt him.

Alexander rolled his eyes playfully and let John be, taking his word for it.

Before long, at least, before what felt like long, all four kids were asleep on the floor and the two older guys were close behind.

"I'll get them up to bed. You go and wait for me." John pecked Alexander's lips one last time before letting him free. He got his siblings one-by-one and put them all in bed, making sure Alexander was upstairs resting as he did. He smiled when he saw him fast asleep in his bed and did one more check on his siblings, finding Martha sitting up, now wide awake.

"Hey.. You okay?.."

She shook her head, tears falling from her eyes.

John frowned and shut the door behind him, going towards her and sitting right in front of her. "What's wrong?.."

"You're going to have to go again.." she whimpered, leaning towards him. "I'm so tired..."

John held her close, cradling her like she was three years old again and he was seven, both adjusting to their new lives. "I'm so sorry.. You are so strong..."

"I'm not as strong as you.. Nothing bad even happens anymore and I can't take it sometimes.. I just want to be a kid.."

"I know.. I'm so sorry.. I promise things will get better. I promise you'll be able to be a kid. You don't have to burden yourself so much.. They're all older than we both know and you know that..."

"I miss mom.."

John held her closer, unable to stop a few tears from hitting her head. "So do I.."

The pair stayed like that, using each other's strength until they both ran out and fell asleep. Early the next morning, John woke up and kissed Martha's forehead before going back to his room and laying with Alexander, sleeping for another few, peaceful hours. Peaceful.. He'd have to take advantage of that.

Naturally, Alexander was the first to wake up after that. He smiled as he saw John's sleeping, peaceful face and took it in for a minute, kissing his forehead. He slowly sat up and got up, wincing lightly as his injured leg felt the pressure of his weight. He took a deep, silent breath and got to his feet, going to the bathroom and taking a quick shower before going downstairs and making breakfast. John did it for him so often, it was only fair. He smiled and made some eggs and bacon, then took the plate up to John's room. He sat beside him and kissed his cheek, gently waking him up. "Hey.. Rise and shine, sleeping beauty.."

John woke up easily and smiled at Alexander, kissing his cheek. "Is that for me?.."

"Yep. I wanted to make you breakfast."

"Thank you." He sat up and ate his breakfast, giving some to Alexander. When he finished, he kissed Alexander's cheek and got up. "Alright. I've had breakfast from my amazing boyfriend, now I'm back to being a spoiling older brother." He went downstairs with Alexander trailing behind him and began going around, making breakfast for the other four Laurens.

Alexander watched him dash expertly around the kitchen. It was as if he never left. And it was heartbreaking. How anyone could tear him away from that, he'd never know. No wonder he was so eager to keep things to himself. His siblings seemed happy as they came downstairs and ate and, to John, that must've been worth the world.

By the time he finished, Alexander began texting in the group chat again.
