I love everything about Pen and Colin’s first time together! ❤ Ugh it was such a sweet scene that I watched it twice before moving on with the ep 🤭 Nicola definitely has no reason to hide - her body is smoking! I am envious of her bewbs 💕 Luke effin’ killed me with his hotness 🔥 Good Lord. The spontaneity, the consent, how gentle everything was, the awkward moments, the giggles… it was all just so cute and sweet. Very romantic 🌹🌺🌸

Re: Eloise rejecting Cressida: 1) She knows Cressida is lying about being Lady W. Once Cressida asked her to help her create the false issues of W, Eloise knew she could not enter into the deception, which is essentially defrauding the Queen. 2) At the end of the day, Eloise is much more loyal to Penn than she is to Cressida. Eloise knows how important W is to Penn so she knows she has to walk away from Cressida. But at least she was being upfront with Cressida in telling her, honestly, to her face that she can no longer remain friends with her. On the other hand, Cressida turned right around and lashed out at Eloise, turning on her "Mean Girl" persona, like flipping a switch. I think most people are sympathetic to Cressida's situation but, at the same time, we do not endorse her course of action, per lying and Blackmail.
@JilTheRealАй бұрын
I do see your points, and you are certainly right! 😊 I'm just wondering why Eloise couldn't be a good friend for once, and it drives me mad. She could try talking sense into Cressida or giving her the feeling of not being alone or anything other than scolding her. Oh, and I really can't stress this point enough: I'm the last one to have any sympathy for Cressida. I really dislike her. 😂
@michaelbriefs9764Ай бұрын
@@JilTheReal certainly can’t blame you for not liking her. She’s apparently earned, richly, her alienation from real, true love. And now, with her exposure as a fraud for claiming to be Lady W, she’s lost her standing in the Ton (Tawn?). Consequences are a bitch!

08:49 Absolutely! Her breasts are PERFECT! Wow. 13:11 Here's the thing--she is a bad mom. She's not the worst mom (Cressida's might be), and more to the point she wants to be a good mom and is trying. More, she is capable of growth, capable of genuine happiness on behalf of her daughters.
@JilTheRealАй бұрын
I fully agree. She seems to put in the effort to make things right in the future. Admitting to doing wrong in the past is also something people (unfortunately) rarely do because of ego or simply self-righteousness, but she did the first few steps towards a better relationship to her daughters and I am here for it! 😊

Right? It's like her getting the family she always wanted, and then Hyacinth called her sister. 😭❤️ I honestly wasn't sure all the way through until the end whether Portia actually wanted to make up with her daughter or whether it was because of the connection to the Bridgertons. But I do believe it was the former. Why did you find it questionable?

@@JilTheReal I am not a daughter so I would not presume to comment on it too much, I get that they want to depict this healing of generational trauma, which is sweet, but I just question how realistic it is that this self-centered / narcissistic parent would suddenly change their ways, but maybe that is the “fantasy” of it all. I’m still watching through the rest of your reaction though, maybe I’ll have other thoughts, thanks for the content & analysis!

Love your breakdown of the episode, but that carriage scene is sooooo much more than the "fingering" many focus on. It is some of the best acting in Bridgerton, the small nuances b/w them, the sincere looks, and the way they communicate w/ no talking. Such attention to detail. I have also been impressed w/ Violet this season, she is the most astute actresses and her slight facial expressions say it all....thank you. Every time I looked at your reactions, I swear I mirrored them.

Debling would be perfect for Eloise. He's gone all the time, and she would be free to do whatever she wants. He wants a woman who has her own passions and interests, who doesn't mind bucking societal expectations, just like he does. They really would be a good match.

@erykaton170Ай бұрын
One of my favorite moments this season (outside of the Polin scenes) is Colin and Violet's talk at the ball in Episode 3. She says "Because he gathered the courage to ask," and Colin immediately looks at Pen across the room. Violet follows his gaze, immediately knows he's in love with Pen, and she becomes very still, for just a moment. When she turns back to Colin, you can tell she is happy, and emotional, but pretends they are still discussing Francesca. Her acting in this moment is so beautiful. She doesn't gape at Pen, or widen her eyes, or raise her eyebrows, her jaw doesn't drop in shock, she just becomes very still, so we know that she knows. She also knows her son is afraid to speak his feelings, so she encourages him gently while maintaining his cover that the question is about Francesca's prospects. So much is communicated without saying anything, and it captivates me every time I see it.
@JilTheRealАй бұрын
That scene is one of my favourites as well. Violet is an incredible mother, and over the seasons, she had some of the most iconic and best lines - the one at the ball and, of course, her reaction certainly being one of them. 🫶🏻

You are the only reactor who comment on the nod he does before he gets out the carriage. It was such a great acting choice by Luke bc you can literally see Colin decide in that moment that she is it for him and he is going to marry her. He won’t wait another second.

Loving your reviews! The part where he practically throws her to the wolves without advice might be because he doesn't see her awkwardness. She's comfortable with him, so he thinks she just needs tweaking. He doesn't realize how socially inept she actually is. It's more proof that he sees her differently than the rest of the Ton, and he finds her awkwardness endearing.
