Elinor and Marianne join their brother and sister-in-law for a night out, much to Fanny's chagrin. For Elinor, it's a chance to become acquainted with the one remaining member of the Ferrars family whom she hasn't already met, Edward and Fanny's brother, Robert Ferrars. Unfortunately, he's everything Elinor expected him to be. Meanwhile, Mr. John Dashwood is struck with the idea that he should invite his sisters to stay with him -- an idea that Fanny promptly shuts down by inviting the Steele sisters to visit instead. The Ferrars siblings may continue to disappoint the Dashwoods, but their story will be anything but a disappointment, as it calms you into a night of tranquil and restful sleep.
