    Through hearing different pieces Magwitch, Molly, and Estella's stories, Pip is able to piece together that Magwitch is Estella's father, and that Molly is Estella's mother. Pip is very confident that Molly is Estella's mother before he has proof, because of the great physical resemblance. After Pip learns that Molly is in Jagger's service because he kept her from being tried for murder, Pip also discovers that Magwitch was in a relationship with a woman who had the same story.
