Episode 9
The Dean of Barchester is dead; and Mr. Slope, supported by the Jupiter, is in high hopes that he will secure the vacant place. His enemy, Archdeacon Grantly. fears Mr. Slope's success. Indeed, everything seems to be going against the Archdeacon in his battle with Slope and Mrs. Proudie. The Bishop, in obedience to his wile's commands, has ignored Mr. Harding's claims, and appointed Mr. Quiverful to the Wardenship of Hiram's Hospital.
But Mr. Slope's position is not as enviable as the Archdeacon supposes. Slope, in his scheming and plotting and intriguing, has over-reached himself; and the day of retribution is approaching.
