In an amazing act of masochism, Jude gives her away.

Following every classic sitcom plot ever, Jude and Sue start an extended will-they-won't-they 'friendship.' Of course, their story involves way more death and sadness than most sitcoms-but that's the way Hardy rolls.

Jude gets Sue a job with Phillotson-now the two of them can live close together!.

Along with Sue, Jude calls on his old schoolmaster Phillotson.

But things start looking up when Jude and Sue finally meet and talk face-to-face.

Guess what, now? Arabella tells Jude she is not pregnant.

He gets books and teaches himself Latin, and Greek.
