This marks the transition from friendzone to ‘Polin’ supremacy. Things get steamy between Penelope and Colin inside the carriage — while a scintillating string cover of Pitbull’s Give Me Everything ft. Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer sets the tone as a sexy background score — before they reach the Bridgerton mansion. Colin swiftly proposes to Penelope: “For God’s sake, Penelope Featherington. Are you going to marry me or not?” The episode ends on a cliffhanger with Penelope’s shocked yet elated expression, strikingly similar to Bridgerton viewers who binge-watched the four episodes in one night.
Does Francesca decide who she wants to marry in Bridgerton Season 3?
Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) finally chooses a sparkling “Diamond” in the musically gifted Francesca Bridgerton (Hannah Dodd). This is thanks to Francesca’s prowess while playing the piano, Lady Danbury’s (Adjoa Andoh) intrusion and Lady Whistledown praising the monarch. While the Queen selects Lord Samdani (David Mumeni) as Francesca’s potential suitor, an “introvert” meet-cute with John Stirling aka Earl of Kilmartin (Victor Alli) makes things more complicated.
Francesca finds herself gravitating towards John, with whom she shares a comfortable silence, as opposed to Lord Samdani. After an awkward encounter, Sterling presents a musical gift to Francesca that warms her heart. All the while, Violet is confused about who Francesca really wants to marry.
Elsewhere, Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) gets into a risqué affair with Lady Arnold (Hannah New), who is recently widowed. Violet, too, finds a potential love interest in Lady Danbury’s brother Marcus Anderson (Daniel Francis), much to Danbury’s chagrin.
Bridgerton Season 3 Part 2: Does Colin Bridgerton find out who Lady Whistledown is?
In Bridgerton Season 3 Part 1, Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie) is still the only one who knows that Penelope is, in fact, Lady Whistledown. Owing to this knowledge, Eloise and Penelope’s friendship remains fractured. Bridgerton Season 3 Part 2 will likely delve around unmasking Lady Whistledown.
With Penelope now set to marry Colin, Eloise threatens her ex-best friend to reveal her scandalous secret to her brother. Colin, having been a victim of Lady Whistledown, harbours extreme dislike for the gossipmonger wordsmith. Hence, the clock is ticking for Penelope in the final four episodes, as she’s tasked with making the most difficult decision of her life.
