** Because, even if Darcy and Wickham's less pleasant actions contribute to the happy ending, Amanda thinks that she can get to the happy ending without having to allow anyone to go through any of the unpleasantness they do in the book. It's hardly surprising that it all backfires spectacularly, but it's a natural human reaction especially for someone who cares so much about these people - if you ''knew'' someone was bad news or that something bad was going to happen to someone you loved, wouldn't you do everything you could to prevent it? Amanda's pride and prejudice is being tested throughout the series just as much as everyone else's.

* If she insists keeping everything as they were in the book, why does she want to meddle into Wickham's and Darcy's schemes? Those are also parts of the story, even do their share at leading to the happy ending.

** Darcy, despite his attempts, does not actively intervene here. Bingley and Jane's problems are all caused by Amanda's attempts to get them together. It should also be noted that this is the only version of the story to have Jane marry Collins, so she ''should'' be surprised by having that happen.

* A better one than the above is "why is Amanda so surprised when Darcy is rude to her?" It only forms ''the entire A-plot''.

** It's possible she's heard of what Amanda's been out there doing, and let it out to avoid having Amanda inadvertently ruin the family.

* Why does Georgiana just blurt out what is apparently quite a big secret (the truth about Wickham) to Amanda without any prompting?
