Pip, returning home to tell Biddy of his feelings for her, is delightfully shocked to hear that Biddy and Joe will be wed. While he originally returned with the plan of trying to whisk Biddy away, he is glad to hear this news as they deserve each other, and truly are two of the best people that Pip knows. The fact he is so willing to let go of Biddy in favor of Joe perhaps shows that he felt no real emotions for Biddy other than that of siblings. This indicates that he only settled for Biddy because he was spurned by Estella, which, is rather a rude thing to do. She deserves better than that, and she receives it with Joe.
