Things heat up between Penelope and Colin, as their friendship turns into something more.
On the other hand, Penelope and Eloise struggle to reconcile their own relationship.

Still, it’s inevitable Colin will find out that Penelope is actually Lady Whistedown.
Colin isn’t the only Bridgerton fans are interested in, either. X users hope upcoming episodes will spotlight his brother, Benedict.
my favorite thing about the bridgerton show is that society has somehow eliminated racism but not sexism, imperialism, classism, or child labor. my second favorite thing is benedict bridgerton
