Game Night
Les Amis are finally off college for the summer following a gruelling set of exams, and they spend their first Friday night free at Marius-and-Cosette's, munching pizza and playing their way through the tower of board games that Grantaire has brought over.
Enjolras is in his element playing Jenga, building and rebuilding the ever-toppling stack of bricks, until Combeferre wisely puts an embargo on it and sweeps the whole lot back into its box.
In Scrabble, Jehan spells out ridiculously long words that no one understands, and things take a dangerous turn when Grantaire starts spelling rude words under the curious gaze of Gavroche, who's been allowed to stay up late to join in the fun.
(Combeferre puts an embargo on that, too).
Joly takes charge during Operation, nervously yelling "Careful!" as each player takes their turn navigating the intricate anatomy.
Things get heated during UNO when Grantaire orders Courfeyrac to 'Pick up Four' 3 times in a row, and in the ensuing squabble the whole table of cards in turned upside down.
(They are both disqualified from all other games).
In Monopoly, Éponine seems to spend most of her time in jail. Enjolras bends the rules to bail her out, subtly handing her his 'Get out of Jail Free' card under the table, the smirks of his companions going unnoticed (and the despairing sighs of Combeferre the Banker blatantly ignored).
The night is brought to an abrupt end when Grantaire and Gavroche have a contest to see who can create the most noise during Boggle. (They never find out who wins, for by now Cosette has a pounding headache and the whole gang are kicked out of the house).
