SPOILERS ahead for non-book readers:
- “It takes courage to live outside the traditional expectations of society” - Is this foreshadowing to Benedict’s story? I had a feeling they might make Benedict’s character gay but it seems maybe we are getting our fairytale in the end? I loved Benedict’s book but I wouldn’t mind a change in the story. I just want to see Benedict in love! Colin may have been my favorite Bridgerton in the books (except in his own book), but Benedict is definitely my favorite in the show!
- Lady Whistledown’s story is worrying me… Are they gonna change her identity? I just feel she is making more enemies and once the reveal is done, it is not gonna go as smoothly as it did in the book
“It takes courage to live outside the traditional expectations of society”
I guess none of the Bridgerton siblings will end up following the expectations of society, that’s what makes this show so interesting.
(Oh, and I wouldn’t complain if they make Benedict gay, btw)
This show is just not enjoyable anymore. I have no idea how Daphne and Simon's relationship is going to recover after she raped him, and with the way the show is handling the topic I have no hope I would be satisfied with the resolution they came up with. Treating Simon as if his legitimate wish of being child free is nothing more than him being selfish, and that he just needs a good woman to teach him the error of his ways because a life without children surely cannot be anything but miserable. Daphne knew what life she chose when she married Simon, it does not matter what his reasons are for not wanting children, and it is not something she should be trying to change, but rather respect. She makes zero attempts to apologise for her behaviour because she selfishly things she has done nothing wrong, and the story takes her side instead of telling the story of her victim. Ending the episode with her crying because her horrible plot failed, as if she deserves any sympathy for the crime she has committed. And as if that wasn't enough, it's also disgusting the way the show is treating Marina. She deserves better, and Simon deserves better.
the scene where the music completely halts right at the crescendo and all we hear are daphne's sobs is absolutely insane. i got goosebumps.

A: What is most unfortunate is the fact that your father was so absented, he never gave you a proper example of how to lead a household.
S: Well, you certainly make it look difficult. With your constant struggles. You cannot manage it, can you? Your responsibility. You, fulfilling the promise that every firstborn son makes to his father before he dies. Do you think he is looking down on you now, ashamed? Mortified at what you have done?
A: È estremamente triste che tuo padre sia stato così assente, non ti ha mai dato il giusto esempio su come guidare una famiglia.
S: Eppure tu lo fai di certo sembrare difficile. Con le tue lotte costanti. Non la sopporti, vero? La tua responsabilità. Tu dovresti onorare la promessa che ogni primogenito fa a suo padre in punto di morte. Credi che ti stia guardando dall’alto? Proverà vergogna, mortificazione per ciò che hai fatto?
