* INeedAFreakingDrink: Mrs. Jennings brings Marianne a glass of wine and tries to console her when she learns of [[spoiler:Willoughby's engagement]], but Marianne ignores her. When Elinor urges her to "exert herself", she lashes out at her, saying "Happy Elinor, you have no idea of what I suffer!" Elinor (who has in fact suffered greatly with the knowledge of [[spoiler:Edward's secret engagement]]) is taken aback and does not respond, but after Mrs. Jennings leaves and Marianne is lying sobbing in bed, she picks up the glass and downs it in one gulp.

* PlayingGertrude: Patricia Routledge (Mrs. Jennings) was 41 during filming, but certainly doesn't look it. Since both of Mrs. Jennings' daughters are grown up with children, this is a little too young for the character. It doesn't help that the two actresses playing her daughters look old enough to be her sisters...

* PoliticallyCorrectHistory: Mildly. In the novel, not much is made of Eliza Williams' age except inasmuch that it made her naive--teen marriages were not common, but were not seen as illegal or immoral (as with Lydia's case in ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudice''). In this series, Eliza being just 15 is a major part of Brandon and Elinor's outrage and disgust and makes his attempt to evade responsibility seem even more reprehensible.
