Madame Defarge decides to visit Lucie to get her, in her anger and grieving, to speak against the Republic. Meanwhile, it is decided that Jerry and Miss Pross will leave separately from the Coach with Charles- in order to make the inspections faster. After Doctor, Lucy and Charles leave, Madame Defarge comes to see Lucie. Pross and Defarge have a deadly encounter and, after a vicious fight, Pross kills Defarge with some type of pistol. The sound of the pistol deafens her for life.
