Pip finds a room at an inn, and he wonders what the note means all night.
The next morning, Pip visits Wemmick. He informs Pip that he and Provis are being watched. Pip asks if Compeyson is in London, and Wemmick tells Pip he is. Herbert is hiding Provis at his girlfriend's house until things die down and they can sneak Provis out of the country.
Pip meets Clara, Herbert's girlfriend, when he visits Provis. He tells Provis that Wemmick recommends he leave the country. Herbert offers to help.
Several weeks pass and Pip is running out of money because he will not take any more money from Provis. He realizes Estella is probably married to Drummle now.
Pip goes to dinner and learns that Compeyson followed him from an old friend. Pip is alarmed and worries about his own safety.
Pip has dinner with Mr. Jaggers and Wemmick. They inform Pip that Miss Havisham has requested to see him again to discuss Herbert. Pip decides to visit her tomorrow.

Miss Havisham promises to help Herbert confidentially. She asks Pip if he is unhappy, and offers to help him. Pip tells Miss Havisham that he forgives her, and she becomes very distraught and emotional about what she has done. Pip learns Mr. Jaggers brought Estella to Miss Havisham when she was a toddler, but Miss Havisham knows nothing about the first few years of Estella's life.
Pip goes for a short walk, and when he returns, Miss Havisham's room is on fire. She set her wedding dress on fire and could not control the flames. She is badly burned, but Pip manages to save her.
Pip's hands are burned as a result of saving Miss Havisham, but his hands will heal. Pip returns to London.
Herbert tells Pip that Provis had a relationship and a daughter with a woman Mr. Jaggers defended for murder. Pip realizes that Provis is Estella's father.
Pip confronts Mr. Jaggers with Estella's parentage, but Mr. Jaggers is unflappable. He says he protected Estella by removing her from a violent mother, and as a result, she has had a life of privilege. He tells Pip no one will benefit from learning his secret.
Several weeks later, Pip receives a message from Wemmick, instructing him to help Provis escape soon.
Pip plans to go with Provis to ensure everything goes smoothly. He plans to escape to Hamburg.
Pip finds a note instructing him to come alone to a sluice-house to learn more about Provis.
Pip goes to the sluice-house and is restrained by a man. His neck is put in a noose and his arms are tied behind his back. The man tells him if he screams for help, he will be killed.
The man who restrained Pip is Orlick, who is angry because he believes that Pip came between him and Biddy. Orlick plans to kill Pip and confesses to attacking Mrs. Joe years ago.
Pip is saved by Herbert and some men from the village. They return to London so that they can smuggle Provis to Hamburg.
Pip and Herbert meet Provis and begin rowing up the river. They stop at a customs house to rest. While they are eating breakfast, they learn a four-oared galley has been patrolling the area, arousing concern.
They start off for the steamer to Hamburg again. Just as Pip and Provis prepare to get on the steamer, the galley pulls up alongside, Compeyson is on board. Pip and Herbert are taken on board the galley. Compeyson and Provis are missing. Provis is found and shackled aboard. Compeyson is presumed dead.
Before he is returned to prison, Provis tells Pip he should not visit him unless he is with Wemmick.
Mr. Jaggers tells Pip that Provis will be found guilty and sentenced. He also tells Pip that Provis' money will be seized by the government, cutting Pip off financially.
Herbert tells Pip he will be traveling to Cairo for business. He offers Pip a job as a clerk in his business. Pip asks for time to consider this option.

The police come for Pip with the intention of arresting him because of his debts. Pip passes out, and when he wakes up, Joe is by his side.
Pip asks Joe to write a note to Biddy for him, expressing his love. Joe tells Pip that Miss Havisham has died.
Pip grows stronger under Joe's care. One morning, Pip wakes up and Joe is gone. He left a note and a receipt showing that he paid off Pip's debts.
