00:00:22Please, there has been a misunderstanding.
00:00:24The woman who had me arrested, she did not pay me wage for seven years.
00:00:26She is not to be trusted.
00:00:27I am not the magistrate, sweetheart.
00:00:30Can you send word to someone for me, please?
00:00:33Alfie Burrow. He works under the new Lady Penwood at Penwood House.
00:00:36Your working friend, or anyone who might speak on your behalf,
00:00:40besides the fact that they are unlikely to be believed,
00:00:42if the lady who sent me after you has anything to do with it,
00:00:45she will make sure anyone who does speak for you faces personal ruin.
00:00:50So, I can send for anyone you want,
00:00:53but you'd better make sure you're well worth the trouble to them.
00:00:58No, you are right.
00:01:01Take the blanket.
00:01:03If you are convicted,
00:01:05it's life behind bars.
00:01:07The best.
00:01:10The best.
00:01:10The best.
00:01:26The best.
00:01:26The best.
00:01:28The best.
00:01:28Do the best.
00:01:37The best.
00:01:45The less.
00:01:56Friends.
00:01:57Full of spectacle, glamour, delights, that sort of thing.
00:02:05Your presence is requested. Your style is required.
00:02:10Your absence without reason will be noted.
00:02:13The season offers some hope, at least, with us in mourning.
00:02:17At least we will not be expected at the Queen's Fall.
00:02:23Apologies. I was simply trying to...
00:02:26I am relieved.
00:02:27Avoiding events was one of my and John's most favourite shared activities.
00:02:35Oh, yes. Do note that this is an event in honour of Lady Agatha Danbury.
00:02:42She has chosen to depart from London to go...
00:02:46Elsewhere.
00:02:49Hmm.
00:02:51Does it not seem as slight to Lady Danbury?
00:02:55This part of the text, it's so small...
00:02:59I can hardly read it.
00:03:01Now that the Queen does not have whistled down to antagonise,
00:03:04perhaps she has shifted her animosity.
00:03:08Do you know anything, Ray?
00:03:10About Lady Danbury and the Queen?
00:03:14I cannot say that I do.
00:03:17No.
00:03:19Of course you do not.
00:03:26Ray is a good housekeeper.
00:03:27Just because you're Miss Varley does not mean you could speak to her...
00:03:29Miss Varley?
00:03:30Where would you get such a strange idea?
00:03:33Do not think of her.
00:03:40I have considered leaving every morning until this one.
00:03:46The dowager was rather pleasant on waking.
00:03:49That is because she had that former maid of hers apprehended last night.
00:03:55And at this very moment,
00:03:58I believe Lord Stotter may be behind these doors,
00:04:02about to propose to Miss Lee.
00:04:10My wife to be, then.
00:04:12I shall see you soon.
00:04:13And with luck, every day after that.
00:04:20You have surely made the match of the season.
00:04:22Look at my ring.
00:04:23Both of you must begin planning what you will wear to the Queen's Ball.
00:04:26Surely the perfect place to announce your betrothal.
00:04:30Where are you going, Mama?
00:04:31To the jail, naturally.
00:04:33Do you not know?
00:04:34I heard you were quite helpful in guiding Mama to say...
00:04:37Rosamond!
00:04:39Did you have Sophie arrested?
00:04:41A thief should not evade justice.
00:04:44Sophie is not a thief, Mama.
00:04:45She was never anything but good to us.
00:04:47I do not wish to hear from you on this matter any further.
00:04:49I shall return soon.
00:04:51You have done very well, Rosamond.
00:04:57Are you not going to congratulate me?
00:05:02Congratulations, sister.
00:05:08She is where?
00:05:09It is my fault.
00:05:10I thought you were a thief,
00:05:12and help the Dowager Lady Penwood find her.
00:05:14But Miss Posey made it clear I was gravely mistaken.
00:05:17This Sophie worked in this house
00:05:20when it was under the Dowager's oversight, yes.
00:05:22But does she have any family?
00:05:24Less words, please.
00:05:26I know who we should speak to.
00:05:38Oh, is that an automated roasting spit?
00:05:45These two have a most urgent matter to discuss with you.
00:05:50Perhaps you could let Hyacent show you her ribbon collection.
00:05:53She has made quite a few additions lately.
00:05:55Oh, it is not so impressive.
00:05:56I am thinking I might delay going to Eton for some time
00:05:59to spend time with you, Frank.
00:06:00No, please do not do that.
00:06:02I am so grateful to all of you for your support and attention.
00:06:06But, um...
00:06:06I believe that your sister would like us all to act normally,
00:06:09if only for a time.
00:06:10Yes.
00:06:12Perhaps we could...
00:06:14talk about someone else instead.
00:06:16How are you, Mother?
00:06:18Oh.
00:06:18How is your friend, Lord Anderson?
00:06:20Lord Anderson?
00:06:21Well, he...
00:06:22Well...
00:06:23Mother!
00:06:23I need to speak to you about Sophie.
00:06:25Oh.
00:06:28Forgive me for interrupting.
00:06:31Francesca, um...
00:06:32Um, impressive or not,
00:06:33I should like to see that ribbon collection.
00:06:35Come along.
00:06:36You as well, Gregory.
00:06:38Did you ask her?
00:06:39Ask her what?
00:06:40Well, ask who?
00:06:40No, she had gone before I could find her.
00:06:42Do you know where she is going?
00:06:44Excuse me, my lady.
00:06:44Sorry, who are we speaking of?
00:06:45Sophie.
00:06:46She has gone to the Americas.
00:06:47I tried to catch her ship,
00:06:48but there were two leaving at once
00:06:49and I could not find her in the crowd.
00:06:51You chased Sophie to the docks?
00:06:52What is going on, exactly?
00:06:53Your brother is in love with your lady's maid,
00:06:55only she has left us
00:06:56in the middle of the night
00:06:57without saying goodbye.
00:06:58Mom.
00:06:59I am sorry.
00:06:59What?
00:06:59Please do not write about this.
00:07:00I am no longer Lady Whistledown.
00:07:02I cannot lose her to the Americas.
00:07:03I need to know how one might charter a boat.
00:07:05If she'd just left this morning,
00:07:06there may yet be time.
00:07:06It will be all right.
00:07:08Will you all be quiet a moment?
00:07:13Please.
00:07:14Hazel has something to tell you.
00:07:16I'm so sorry to interrupt,
00:07:17but I have good news and bad news.
00:07:21The good news being
00:07:22Mr. Bridgerton will not be needing a boat.
00:07:29Someone is here to see you.
00:07:39Hello, Sophie.
00:07:40How rude.
00:07:42You should be grateful
00:07:42the lady has even come to such an undesirable place.
00:07:46Especially as I have come to help you.
00:07:48Help me?
00:07:48Yes.
00:07:49I want to be generous.
00:07:50You could avoid a trial.
00:07:52Your public humiliation.
00:07:54Any possible damage to the Bridgerton household
00:07:57for harboring you.
00:07:58How?
00:07:59A confession.
00:08:01Of course.
00:08:02It would make all this far easier
00:08:04if you admit you impersonated someone you are not.
00:08:07That you stole from me.
00:08:08I did not.
00:08:09You did.
00:08:12You have stolen everything from me.
00:08:16And I will not give you what is left
00:08:18by confessing to make your life easier.
00:08:21You have always made poor choices.
00:08:25At least now,
00:08:27you shall get what you deserve.
00:08:29Guard,
00:08:30I am finished here.
00:08:32This will not go well for you.
00:08:38Without any witness to speak on your behalf,
00:08:41and based on the sworn testimony
00:08:43of the Dowager Lady Penwood...
00:08:44Sir, please, I...
00:08:45Miss Beck,
00:08:46I must remind you
00:08:47that you are not to speak.
00:08:49At this time,
00:08:49I have no choice
00:08:50but to sentence you...
00:08:52Sir!
00:08:52I must ask you to release this woman at once.
00:08:54What is the meaning of this?
00:08:55Who, sir,
00:08:56are you?
00:08:58Benedict Bridgerton,
00:08:59son to the late Viscount Edmund Bridgerton
00:09:00and brother to the Viscount Anthony Bridgerton.
00:09:02And brother to the Duke of Hastings.
00:09:04Mr. Bridgerton is a second son.
00:09:07The girl is accused of stealing from a county.
00:09:09You besmirch my honour
00:09:10over a pair of shoe clips.
00:09:11They must have been tremendously valuable.
00:09:14Sir,
00:09:14Miss Beck has been in my employ for months now
00:09:16and we can attest,
00:09:17based on her character,
00:09:18that these charges are certain to be unfounded.
00:09:21They are certainly not.
00:09:22Do you have any proof?
00:09:23Please,
00:09:24I urge you all
00:09:25to maintain decorum
00:09:26and act in accordance
00:09:27with your rank and dignity.
00:09:30Lady Penwood,
00:09:31if this family were willing
00:09:32to pay you the cost
00:09:33of your shoe clips,
00:09:34would you retract
00:09:35your accusations
00:09:36against Miss Beck?
00:09:37Yes, we are happy to pay.
00:09:39That will be insufficient
00:09:40as she also stands accused
00:09:42of impersonating a lady.
00:09:44A lady in a silver dress
00:09:45at the very masquerade ball
00:09:46held by the dowager
00:09:48Lady Bridgerton.
00:09:49I will have justice.
00:09:50Then we shall need time
00:09:51to mount a defence for Miss Beck.
00:09:52What kind of defence
00:09:53can there possibly be
00:09:54except that she
00:09:54has clearly clouded
00:09:55Mr Bridgerton's judgement
00:09:56by seducing it?
00:09:57I don't know such a thing.
00:09:58How dare you imply
00:09:59that my son is...
00:10:00Order!
00:10:01I will have order!
00:10:03Magistrate Burton,
00:10:04we will provide Miss Beck
00:10:05with a barrister.
00:10:06Until then,
00:10:07I wonder if you would be so kind
00:10:08as to save me from distress.
00:10:09She is a lady's maid
00:10:10in my employ
00:10:11and I cannot manage
00:10:12without her services.
00:10:13I must beg for your aid.
00:10:15Might you release her
00:10:16into my custody
00:10:17until things are set to rights?
00:10:21We would be so grateful
00:10:23that you indulge
00:10:24my poor mother.
00:10:26I will release Miss Beck
00:10:27on bail
00:10:28on condition
00:10:29that she remain
00:10:30in the Bridgerton household
00:10:31and you will guarantee
00:10:33she does not leave
00:10:34such household.
00:10:35But might I suggest
00:10:38talk with one another
00:10:40unless you are able
00:10:41to reach an agreement
00:10:42amongst yourselves
00:10:43we will meet again
00:10:44in a week's time
00:10:45to determine Miss Beck's fate.
00:10:53There is to be no agreement.
00:10:55She is going to prison.
00:10:56Oh, we shall see about that.
00:10:58What do you think
00:10:59the Queen will say
00:11:00when she finds out
00:11:01you are harbouring a criminal?
00:11:02One you allowed
00:11:03to step outside her station
00:11:05and seduce your son?
00:11:06Do you think she will allow you
00:11:07to remain in society?
00:11:10Shall we find out?
00:11:32I cannot thank both of you enough.
00:11:34I am grateful
00:11:35but you should not have
00:11:36gone to the trouble.
00:11:37I will not hear of it.
00:11:38Why did you not send word to us?
00:11:39Would the constable not let you?
00:11:40No, I thought perhaps
00:11:42I had done enough
00:11:43to push you all the way.
00:11:46Escaping in the night
00:11:46as I did
00:11:47I did not wish
00:11:47to burden you any further.
00:11:48Well, it is a good thing
00:11:49we were allowed.
00:11:50You have a great many people
00:11:51who care for you, Sophia.
00:11:53I hope you see that.
00:11:55Our trials are not over though.
00:11:57If the dowager Lady Penwood
00:11:58does not win her case in court
00:11:59she may try to win it in public.
00:12:00And if the Queen
00:12:01finds out about your
00:12:03attachment
00:12:04well, could create
00:12:04a scandal so large
00:12:06that even your leaving
00:12:07for the country
00:12:07would hardly dampen
00:12:08the effects you might have
00:12:09on your younger siblings' prospects.
00:12:10There is no easy solution to that.
00:12:13I am glad you're here
00:12:14safely with us, Sophie.
00:12:16Welcome home.
00:12:21Your room is all made up and ready
00:12:23but do let us know
00:12:23if there's anything
00:12:24we have forgotten.
00:12:25I do not understand.
00:12:27My room is upstairs
00:12:27in the servants' quarters.
00:12:29Not anymore.
00:12:30Lady Bridgerton has informed us
00:12:32that you are to be our guest
00:12:33until all this
00:12:34with a trial
00:12:34blows over.
00:12:35Or until you formalise
00:12:37your attachment
00:12:38with Mr Bridgerton.
00:12:39Why did you not say?
00:12:41They have no attachment, Hazel.
00:12:45Though Lady Bridgerton
00:12:46has made it clear
00:12:47that her son
00:12:47is not to cross this hall
00:12:49to your room
00:12:50for any reason
00:12:51or you to his.
00:12:52Of course.
00:12:53I have eyes everywhere.
00:12:59Come along, Hazel.
00:13:17How long have you known?
00:13:20I found your necklace
00:13:21in my bedroom last night.
00:13:23The lady in silver,
00:13:25she wore this very same pendant.
00:13:27I never wished to lie to you.
00:13:29I only...
00:13:31I could not stand
00:13:32to think of your disappointment
00:13:33upon learning
00:13:34that the woman you searched
00:13:35for all that time
00:13:36would turn out
00:13:37not to be an enchanting
00:13:37young lady,
00:13:39but...
00:13:40me.
00:13:41The very last thing
00:13:43I feel knowing it was you
00:13:44is disappointment.
00:13:46I spent so much of my life
00:13:47feeling alone
00:13:49in a crowded room.
00:13:52I fell for you
00:13:53at the masquerade
00:13:54because...
00:13:56you saw me?
00:13:59Just me.
00:14:02What kind of a man
00:14:03would I be
00:14:04if I only ever saw you
00:14:05as the lady in silver?
00:14:07And yet...
00:14:08all this time
00:14:10you did not believe
00:14:12that I could handle the truth.
00:14:13Perhaps because
00:14:14your love for me
00:14:16is not what I thought it was.
00:14:25Benedict.
00:14:28Forgive me.
00:14:29Mrs. Wilson has sent me
00:14:30to keep watch
00:14:31and ensure
00:14:32that both of you
00:14:33keep to your separate rooms.
00:14:35I could use a light down.
00:14:44We should hope
00:14:45at the very least
00:14:45to keep Sophie
00:14:46out of prison.
00:14:48I hesitate
00:14:49to ask something
00:14:50of you so close
00:14:50to your departure,
00:14:51but in a perfect world,
00:14:54while the Queen's blessing
00:14:56of their union
00:14:56might protect us all
00:14:57from a scandal.
00:14:58It is
00:14:59quite the fantastical tale.
00:15:02The maid,
00:15:03the gentleman,
00:15:04in love.
00:15:05And Babs,
00:15:06too fantastical
00:15:07for Her Majesty
00:15:07to accept.
00:15:08The Queen
00:15:09has waged
00:15:10a great deal
00:15:11on Benedict's
00:15:11getting married
00:15:12this season.
00:15:15and it is unlikely.
00:15:16But I am happy
00:15:17to try.
00:15:18Also,
00:15:19I believe her father
00:15:19to be of nobility.
00:15:21Well,
00:15:21does that help
00:15:22our case at all?
00:15:24Not if the mother
00:15:25was a maid.
00:15:26Even if Sophie
00:15:27had not been relegated
00:15:28to the position
00:15:29of maid herself,
00:15:30the tonne would never
00:15:30accept a gentleman
00:15:32marrying a girl
00:15:33of illegitimate origins.
00:15:36And I am afraid
00:15:37the best they can hope
00:15:39for is to slip
00:15:39quietly away
00:15:40to the countryside
00:15:41together.
00:15:46I can delay my trip.
00:15:48Stay.
00:15:49Make sure that
00:15:50if any scandal erupts
00:15:51that I am here to...
00:15:52Agatha.
00:15:53No.
00:15:54It is your time.
00:15:55I appreciate you
00:15:56trying with the Queen,
00:15:58but no.
00:15:59No, you must go.
00:16:01Violet Bridgerton.
00:16:06I will miss you.
00:16:07No.
00:16:09I will miss you too.
00:16:11Very much.
00:16:22May I help you,
00:16:23Miss Beck?
00:16:24Sophie will do,
00:16:25John.
00:16:28Did anyone
00:16:28call for me?
00:16:30No.
00:16:31I do not believe so.
00:16:44You look handsome
00:16:45tonight, John.
00:16:47Are you being
00:16:48quite serious?
00:16:49Of course I am.
00:16:52Because I have not
00:16:53been certain
00:16:54if you are interested.
00:16:56You do have
00:16:57something of a reputation.
00:16:59That was all
00:16:59before I met you.
00:17:01Oh, John.
00:17:02It's just...
00:17:06I thought perhaps...
00:17:07I've been trying
00:17:08to figure out
00:17:08how to sneak
00:17:09into yours as well.
00:17:13I was furious
00:17:14when you did not
00:17:15recognise me.
00:17:16I know.
00:17:19I am sorry.
00:17:20I was furious
00:17:21at first,
00:17:22but then I realised
00:17:23it does not matter,
00:17:23Benedict.
00:17:24You have shown me
00:17:25a tremendous amount
00:17:26of love,
00:17:27more than I have felt
00:17:28in a very long time
00:17:29and my inability
00:17:30to believe in it.
00:17:32The only other person
00:17:34in my life
00:17:34I was sure loved me
00:17:35was my father.
00:17:36He was the 6th Earl
00:17:38of Penwood,
00:17:39Richard Gunn.
00:17:40He promised he would
00:17:41always take care of me
00:17:42and I trusted that.
00:17:44I trusted his love.
00:17:46But after his death
00:17:47it became clear
00:17:48that I had been mistaken
00:17:49in both cases.
00:17:50Is it because of him
00:17:52you became a maid?
00:17:54He provided nothing
00:17:55for me in his will.
00:17:57Araminta made that
00:17:57very clear.
00:17:59Did you see this will
00:18:00for yourself?
00:18:02No, I did not wish
00:18:04to be further crushed.
00:18:08Sophie,
00:18:10it is clear
00:18:11that woman despises you.
00:18:14From the very day
00:18:15she met me.
00:18:16What reason
00:18:17would you have to believe
00:18:18her about your father?
00:18:21I
00:18:24I do not know.
00:18:28I simply believed her.
00:18:32Believed that my father
00:18:34would have forgotten me.
00:18:37Believed that the love
00:18:38I felt in my head
00:18:39was made up
00:18:39from the beginning.
00:18:40Believed
00:18:41that I should not expect
00:18:42you to recognise me
00:18:44or love me
00:18:45or commit to me.
00:18:45Sophie,
00:18:47of course
00:18:48I love you.
00:18:51Do you believe me now?
00:18:54I did not help.
00:18:55I should never have
00:18:56asked you
00:18:56to be my mistress.
00:18:57I am forever sorry.
00:18:59Last night
00:19:00I came back here
00:19:01for a reason.
00:19:01To ask you the question
00:19:02I should have asked you
00:19:03all along.
00:19:04Do not.
00:19:06Not now.
00:19:08I have my family's
00:19:09blessing, Sophie.
00:19:12Not with the trial
00:19:13hanging over us.
00:19:14Your family's reputation
00:19:16at stake.
00:19:16Let us wait.
00:19:21I love you.
00:19:23I love you, Benedict.
00:19:27I love you, Benedict.
00:19:58Will you join me?
00:19:59I love you, Benedict.
00:21:12Then we will not turn around.
00:22:23Bridgerton, I hope you are not cross with me.
00:22:25Oh, I am positively outraged.
00:22:30Now the most interesting thing ever to happen in my home happened right under my nose and
00:22:33I was blind to it the entire time.
00:22:37Good.
00:22:38Because I would like to ask you a favour.
00:22:41I would like your help getting into Penwood House.
00:22:47I am delighted you have come to call.
00:22:49A little surprised, but delighted.
00:22:53I am all for putting the past in the past.
00:22:55Yes, as am I.
00:22:58Well, we do have a good many things to discuss that should occupy us for a good many minutes.
00:23:03I am all is.
00:23:04Yes.
00:23:06I had heard you repaint it with pink.
00:23:10And I wanted to tell you how splendid it looked.
00:23:12It is so...
00:23:14you.
00:23:19Alfie.
00:23:20Alfie.
00:23:21What are you doing here?
00:23:22My father's will.
00:23:23I believe it...
00:23:25I believe it is in the study.
00:23:26Araminta is trying to put me behind bars and I must know what it says before she succeeds.
00:23:38You should sit before you wear a line in that rug.
00:23:42Apologies.
00:23:43I know that Lady Danby was not optimistic, but I am certain everything will work out.
00:23:48We will find a way.
00:23:50We always do.
00:23:56So, Alfie was the lady in silver.
00:23:59Well, I think the Earl of Penwood's daughter deserved to attend a ball at some point.
00:24:04Hmm?
00:24:07If we survive this chapter, what if I cannot do it?
00:24:12Moving permanently to the countryside.
00:24:15Being her husband.
00:24:16Do you doubt your failings for Sophie?
00:24:18No, I doubt myself.
00:24:20Why, Benedict?
00:24:21Have I not been disappointing you my entire life?
00:24:25I am never disappointed in my children.
00:24:30Oh, well, maybe I have been hard on you at times,
00:24:34but there is a reason for that.
00:24:36It is because in many ways I was most like you as a child.
00:24:41What do you mean?
00:24:43Children have an easier time imagining a ghost in a darkened hallway
00:24:46than they do imagining their mother as a youth.
00:24:48In fairness, I have mostly forgotten that girl myself.
00:24:54What was she like?
00:24:56She was impulsive, passionate, wild, carefree,
00:25:02filled with a burning desire to experience all that life had to offer
00:25:05and constantly wishing to do the opposite of what her parents wanted.
00:25:10Antony is just like your father.
00:25:13But you, you are my son, through and through.
00:25:18What happened to her?
00:25:20Well, I fell in love.
00:25:22A love that made all my wild rebellion grow quiet
00:25:25and still, I did not need it anymore.
00:25:27I was just happy.
00:25:31That is what I feel for Sophie.
00:25:33Then your love will make you capable of anything you put your mind to.
00:25:37I hope you have not left that wild, carefree young girl behind.
00:25:43She sounds delightful, in her own right.
00:25:49She won.
00:26:16It has to be in here.
00:26:27Lily thought she saw you walking up.
00:26:29I had to see for myself.
00:26:30Emma.
00:26:31Do you know where the key for this is?
00:26:33We're looking for her father's will.
00:26:35I have seen his lordship open that.
00:26:37With a key from this drawer.
00:26:46Which one is it?
00:26:48Your guess is as good as mine.
00:26:56And will you be using this shade of pink for your country state as well?
00:27:03Eloise, I find it most difficult to believe that you came here today
00:27:07to compliment my taste in colours.
00:27:10Oh, why?
00:27:11I...
00:27:12Can a young lady not simply wish to discuss the colour pink?
00:27:15I know why you are truly here.
00:27:19You have finally succumbed to the mania.
00:27:24The marriage mania.
00:27:26It's clear you are at last imagining what it would be like to have a husband one day.
00:27:30And you wish to know what it is like.
00:27:32Oh.
00:27:34Yes.
00:27:35I am quite overcome with...
00:27:39the madness.
00:27:40It was difficult last season.
00:27:42Not having a shared dream for the future between us.
00:27:45I do understand your view of things.
00:27:47How marriage steals independence and liberty.
00:27:49Mary Wollstonecraft and all that.
00:27:50You read Mary Wollstonecraft.
00:27:52You would not stop talking about her last season.
00:27:55And, uh...
00:27:56What else was I supposed to do in Wales?
00:27:59She has some good ideas.
00:28:01The truth is,
00:28:01she does not sufficiently value love.
00:28:04It has the power to change one's life, Eloise.
00:28:09Yes.
00:28:11I am starting to see that.
00:28:21Well done.
00:28:27This is the one.
00:28:37Richard Gunn,
00:28:39the sixth soul of Penwood.
00:28:42He bequeaths an additional 4,000 pounds
00:28:45to Araminta for every year she houses me.
00:28:47Oh, my goodness.
00:28:48That's why she kept you on.
00:28:50She was profiting off you.
00:28:54Sophie,
00:28:56what is it?
00:29:01I can see that marriage
00:29:02has been of great benefit to you.
00:29:04At the very least,
00:29:05it has had the power
00:29:06to give me the drawing room of my dreams.
00:29:09It is quite an improvement
00:29:10on Cowper House,
00:29:11is it not?
00:29:13You never belonged in that house.
00:29:15Or with your parents.
00:29:18I should like to apologise.
00:29:20All that business
00:29:21with you nearly having to marry a man
00:29:22three times your age last season.
00:29:25I was far too
00:29:27self-interested, really,
00:29:29to appreciate how difficult
00:29:31that must have been
00:29:31and how much your success
00:29:33on the marriage mark
00:29:34mattered to you.
00:29:39And all is well.
00:29:41Everything has worked out
00:29:42exactly as it should.
00:29:47It has indeed.
00:29:51After all that,
00:29:53the shoe clips
00:29:54turned out
00:29:55to be
00:29:56fake.
00:29:58Is this what passes
00:29:59for gossip these days?
00:30:01I do not care about
00:30:02shoe clips
00:30:03or maids.
00:30:05No matter what I may think
00:30:07of the dowager
00:30:07Lady Penwood,
00:30:09if the magistrate
00:30:10sees fit to charge
00:30:11the girl,
00:30:12so be it.
00:30:14The dowager
00:30:16also means
00:30:18to impress upon
00:30:19your majesty
00:30:20that this maid
00:30:21seduced
00:30:22a gentleman,
00:30:25Benedict
00:30:25Bridgerton.
00:30:28The most eligible
00:30:30suitor of the season,
00:30:32seduced by a maid?
00:30:35Is it true?
00:30:37No, it is not true.
00:30:40She did not have to seduce him
00:30:42because he loves her.
00:30:45Against all reason
00:30:46and expectation,
00:30:48they have formed an attachment.
00:30:51She saved his life
00:30:52in the countryside
00:30:53and he fell for her
00:30:54as she nursed him
00:30:55back to health.
00:30:56A man,
00:30:56once thought,
00:30:58never able to commit,
00:30:59moved by the simple
00:31:00grace and beauty
00:31:01of a girl
00:31:02of humble origins.
00:31:04Your majesty,
00:31:05you were right
00:31:06all along.
00:31:08Benedict Bridgerton
00:31:09is ready
00:31:11for marriage
00:31:12after all.
00:31:14It is unfortunate.
00:31:16I was right
00:31:17all along
00:31:17casting my wager.
00:31:19But I will lose still.
00:31:21Your majesty.
00:31:23Benedict Bridgerton
00:31:24cannot marry a maid,
00:31:26can he?
00:31:27I had hoped
00:31:28we could make
00:31:28one last great match
00:31:30together,
00:31:31Lady Danbury.
00:31:32It is a shame
00:31:33for us to go out
00:31:34on a loss.
00:31:35Tell me,
00:31:36Brinsley,
00:31:36how is the ball
00:31:37coming along?
00:31:39Extremely well,
00:31:39your majesty.
00:31:46What do you know
00:31:47about what is going on
00:31:48with Benedict Bridgerton?
00:31:50You've been spending
00:31:50a great deal of time
00:31:51together this season.
00:31:52What do you know?
00:31:53You know something.
00:31:55You have been
00:31:56withholding from me.
00:31:57If you know
00:31:57I've been withholding
00:31:58something,
00:31:59then you have been
00:32:00withholding something
00:32:01as well.
00:32:05All I know,
00:32:05there is a lower-class
00:32:06girl,
00:32:06someone he knows
00:32:07he should not be with.
00:32:08It is a maid
00:32:09at Bridgerton House.
00:32:10I overheard them.
00:32:11They are in love,
00:32:12and the dowager
00:32:12Lady Penwood
00:32:13is trying to send
00:32:14her to prison.
00:32:16This morning,
00:32:17I spent four hours
00:32:19helping the Queen
00:32:20decide on florals
00:32:21for her ball.
00:32:23Yesterday,
00:32:24there was a debate
00:32:25over whether
00:32:25the Pomeranians
00:32:26should be shaved
00:32:27to resemble lions.
00:32:28The day before that...
00:32:28Alice,
00:32:31we can move
00:32:32to the country
00:32:32if you're unhappy
00:32:33with your position.
00:32:34No.
00:32:34No,
00:32:35we cannot.
00:32:36One does not
00:32:36simply walk away
00:32:37from the Queen.
00:32:38And I do not wish to,
00:32:40but I wish to do
00:32:40something of meaning,
00:32:41Will.
00:32:42Lady Danbury
00:32:42helped the Queen
00:32:43reshape our society.
00:32:44I am decorating.
00:32:47I'm not even decorating.
00:32:49I am saying yes or no
00:32:51while the servants decorate.
00:32:52You and I,
00:32:53we were given this life
00:32:55out of thin air,
00:32:57and it has been wonderful.
00:32:59And we are enjoying ourselves
00:33:01at last,
00:33:01but I should like to help
00:33:02others enjoy it as well.
00:33:04If I involve myself
00:33:06in trying to help this maid,
00:33:07either it will finally earn me
00:33:09the Queen's close confidence,
00:33:11or it will ruin this family.
00:33:12I should like to do it
00:33:13either way.
00:33:15You have my full support,
00:33:17then.
00:33:23She hasn't been gone
00:33:24that long,
00:33:24Alan Diggs.
00:33:28Oh,
00:33:29Mrs. 100.
00:33:30Good day.
00:33:30Alice,
00:33:31unfortunately now
00:33:31is not an ideal time.
00:33:32Yes, I know.
00:33:33Lady Danbury
00:33:34had little success
00:33:34with the Queen.
00:33:35But I have an idea
00:33:37for another approach.
00:33:48My mother and I
00:33:48have been so worried
00:33:49for you.
00:33:50Forgive me,
00:33:51the new Lady Penwood
00:33:51insisted on Miss Bridget
00:33:53and staying for tea.
00:33:54How did it go?
00:33:56I saw my father's will.
00:33:59Well,
00:33:59what is it?
00:34:00My father.
00:34:03He kept his promise.
00:34:06Posing Rosamund
00:34:07to myself.
00:34:10He left a siege
00:34:10in equal portion dowry.
00:34:13He loved me.
00:34:19Of course he did.
00:34:21How could anyone not?
00:34:26You were not going
00:34:27to prison.
00:34:29The dowager Lady Penwood
00:34:30stole your dowry.
00:34:31That makes her a liar
00:34:32and a thief.
00:34:33She has not already
00:34:34spent at all.
00:34:35I have a dowry.
00:34:37It still does not
00:34:38make me legitimate
00:34:39or an appropriate match
00:34:39for a gentleman.
00:34:40I do not care
00:34:41about the money
00:34:41and I do not care
00:34:42about whether you're
00:34:43appropriate or not.
00:34:44Mrs. Mondrich
00:34:45came to call.
00:34:46She is one of the
00:34:47Queen's ladies-in-waiting.
00:34:50She has a plan
00:34:51to help us.
00:34:52What is it?
00:34:54We will have to
00:34:55find you a dress
00:34:56because you are going
00:34:57to the Queen's Ball
00:34:58tomorrow.
00:35:07It is a game
00:35:08for two.
00:35:10Forgive me.
00:35:12It is my family.
00:35:13There is a scandal
00:35:15brewing.
00:35:16A scandal?
00:35:18Do you tell?
00:35:23Benedict, my brother,
00:35:26is in love with a maid.
00:35:28My family, we are all
00:35:30supporting them.
00:35:32But everyone else
00:35:33in the town will surely
00:35:33be up in arms
00:35:34if they find out.
00:35:35Which, I confess,
00:35:36does feel rather trivial
00:35:37compared to...
00:35:45now is when you choose
00:35:47to hold your tongue.
00:35:50I am only surprised.
00:35:52Your family is surprising.
00:35:56I would not blame you
00:35:57for distancing yourself
00:35:58from us.
00:35:59From me.
00:36:00No, I meant surprising
00:36:02in a good way.
00:36:04Love does not always look
00:36:05how one expects,
00:36:06I imagine.
00:36:07I am not one to judge
00:36:08the happiness of others.
00:36:12I am relieved
00:36:14to hear you say so.
00:36:18I had hoped,
00:36:19if you were not concerned
00:36:21by our continued
00:36:22association,
00:36:23that you might
00:36:25consider staying
00:36:26here in London
00:36:26until a new heir
00:36:27is found.
00:36:28I am here.
00:36:29I know.
00:36:31But I suppose
00:36:32I am feeling
00:36:34a suspense
00:36:35about when you
00:36:37might leave again
00:36:37as you so rarely
00:36:38stay in one place
00:36:39for long.
00:36:39You are the only
00:36:40other person
00:36:41who truly understands.
00:36:45If you would like it,
00:36:46I shall stay.
00:36:49It would mean
00:36:49a great deal to me.
00:36:52I feel very close
00:36:53to you, Michaela.
00:36:56As do I.
00:37:14Look what one of them
00:37:15maids helped me
00:37:15rescue from the bin.
00:37:17Slightly rumpled,
00:37:18but I think
00:37:18it gives it character,
00:37:19no?
00:37:21You need not
00:37:22have bothered.
00:37:24Ah.
00:37:25I take it
00:37:26you are still
00:37:26planning not to debut.
00:37:32I must say,
00:37:33I think that
00:37:34would be a mistake.
00:37:36You cannot be serious.
00:37:39After you
00:37:39incessantly mocked
00:37:40my lesson...
00:37:41In my defence,
00:37:43they were
00:37:43extremely mockable.
00:37:45I thought
00:37:45you would be thrilled.
00:37:48Now you will not
00:37:48grow old alone.
00:37:50We can be
00:37:50Spencers together.
00:37:57As wonderful
00:37:58as that sounds,
00:37:59I know it's not
00:38:00genuinely
00:38:00what you want.
00:38:04It is alright
00:38:05to be frightened.
00:38:06What happened
00:38:07to John,
00:38:07it is beyond awful.
00:38:09It frightens me too
00:38:10more than I care to admit.
00:38:11Some things are
00:38:12out of our control.
00:38:13What is in our control
00:38:15is our ability
00:38:16to support one another
00:38:17and ensure
00:38:17that we do not allow
00:38:18fear to keep us
00:38:20from experiencing
00:38:21something that could
00:38:21be truly special.
00:38:23Now you are
00:38:23a proponent of marriage.
00:38:25Proponent is far
00:38:25too strong a word.
00:38:27But after spending
00:38:28a season by your side,
00:38:29I can see that
00:38:30on occasion
00:38:31marriage might have
00:38:32its advantages.
00:38:34Companionship,
00:38:35a family,
00:38:37a prime-seated
00:38:38soiree.
00:38:39And then,
00:38:40if not for mother
00:38:41and father's marriage,
00:38:43we would not all
00:38:43have each other.
00:38:45Which seems
00:38:45a rather large reward.
00:38:48Most of the time,
00:38:49anyway.
00:38:53Suppose your points
00:38:54have some merit.
00:38:56Though if
00:38:57I am to one day
00:38:59find the right husband,
00:39:01I think I should like
00:39:02to get to know
00:39:02myself better first.
00:39:06an excellent plan.
00:39:27The season will not be
00:39:28the same without you,
00:39:29Lady Dan.
00:39:30Well, I have no doubt
00:39:31you will still find
00:39:33ways of enjoying
00:39:35yourselves.
00:39:36You will be missed
00:39:37greatly by the Queen,
00:39:39most of all.
00:39:47Well,
00:39:49here's to us.
00:39:59tonight is our night,
00:40:00Rosamund.
00:40:01Let us greet
00:40:02Lord Stotter,
00:40:03and then we shall
00:40:04speak to the Queen
00:40:04and settle the matter
00:40:06of Sophie.
00:40:11We can do this.
00:40:13We can do this.
00:40:15Are we certain
00:40:16we can do this?
00:40:17Would it not be better
00:40:18to wait until we see
00:40:18the magistrate?
00:40:19It may be too late
00:40:20by then if the dowager
00:40:21gets to the Queen
00:40:21tonight.
00:40:22Mrs Mondridge
00:40:23will arrange
00:40:23everything.
00:40:26You will just have
00:40:27to tuck in close
00:40:28as we sneak you in.
00:40:30Hopefully,
00:40:31last time.
00:40:35Your party.
00:40:36Violet Bridgerton,
00:40:37the dowager
00:40:38lady Bridgerton.
00:40:40Yes,
00:40:41plus three?
00:40:42Something like that.
00:40:43Yes,
00:40:43so many children.
00:40:47Richardons,
00:40:48come with me.
00:40:56Wait,
00:40:56what are we
00:40:57meant to do now,
00:40:57then?
00:40:58Well,
00:40:58it's strange
00:40:59not to be at the
00:40:59very centre of
00:41:00scandal for once.
00:41:01Let us enjoy it,
00:41:02then.
00:41:04May I have this
00:41:05dance?
00:41:05Yes.
00:41:16Miss Posey?
00:41:18Miss Bridgerton?
00:41:21Oh,
00:41:22no.
00:41:22I am...
00:41:23I do not know
00:41:24if you know,
00:41:25but I was not part of...
00:41:26No,
00:41:26I assumed not.
00:41:27I was simply greeting you.
00:41:29Though perhaps I should not.
00:41:30Your mother may disapprove.
00:41:36But do not let her dictate
00:41:37what you do.
00:41:38A friend of mine
00:41:39has a mother
00:41:39not too dissimilar to yours,
00:41:41and that friend
00:41:41has done very well
00:41:42for herself now.
00:41:43Truly.
00:41:51You have the interest
00:41:52of Lord Barnaby.
00:41:54He does ask me
00:41:56to dance
00:41:56from time to time,
00:41:57but my mother's efforts
00:41:59are concentrated
00:42:00on my sister this season.
00:42:04Oh,
00:42:05I should not
00:42:06let her dictate
00:42:08the matters of my heart
00:42:09like that.
00:42:10Lord Barnaby
00:42:11is most eligible.
00:42:12And your mother
00:42:13and sister
00:42:14are occupied.
00:42:20Very well.
00:42:31Miss Posey,
00:42:33will you at last
00:42:34accept my offer
00:42:35of a dance?
00:42:43Lady Penwood,
00:42:45you are being summoned.
00:42:47Am I being summoned
00:42:48by the Queen?
00:42:51It was easier
00:42:51than I thought.
00:42:57Come along, Posey.
00:42:59Now.
00:43:02Excuse me.
00:43:12What is this?
00:43:13I thought the Queen
00:43:14was to join us.
00:43:15I believe you will be glad
00:43:17she is elsewhere
00:43:18for the moment.
00:43:18Sophie?
00:43:20Ma, what is she doing here?
00:43:23Seven years.
00:43:26Seven long years
00:43:27I spent serving you
00:43:28in my own home.
00:43:29I asked you the day
00:43:30you kicked me out
00:43:31why you kept me so long
00:43:32and I know now
00:43:32it was never out
00:43:33of any goodness.
00:43:35But only because
00:43:35my father promised you
00:43:36an extra stipend
00:43:37for every year
00:43:38you kept me on.
00:43:39But you were never
00:43:40meant to keep me on
00:43:41as a maid.
00:43:41How did you know that?
00:43:42I saw the will
00:43:43and I also saw
00:43:44that my father
00:43:45left me a dowry.
00:43:46Mother.
00:43:46Quiet, Posey.
00:43:47Three equal parts.
00:43:49One for Rosamond
00:43:50one for Posey
00:43:51and one for myself.
00:43:53Yet I venture to guess
00:43:54that what you have promised
00:43:55Lord Stutter
00:43:56is double what you have
00:43:57told Posey
00:43:57she is to receive.
00:43:58Doubled by the embezzlement
00:43:59of my portion.
00:44:01This is preposterous.
00:44:02How dare you accuse
00:44:03my mother of such a thing?
00:44:05Eighteen thousand pounds.
00:44:10What is yours?
00:44:14Did you not believe
00:44:15my beauty and charm
00:44:16were enough on their own
00:44:16to make a match?
00:44:19You believed I needed
00:44:20thirty-six thousand pounds.
00:44:21This is all beside the point.
00:44:22She stole from me.
00:44:24I was the one
00:44:24who stole the shoe clips,
00:44:25Mama.
00:44:29It is not about
00:44:30the shoe clips.
00:44:33The money for your dowry.
00:44:35It was our money.
00:44:36It should have been our money.
00:44:37But you stole it from us.
00:44:39You stole him from us.
00:44:42My girls needed a father.
00:44:44They needed his love.
00:44:45I needed his love.
00:44:48But instead you were there.
00:44:52Araminta, he loved you too.
00:44:54I saw it.
00:44:55And you have the love
00:44:57of your daughters.
00:44:57Both of them.
00:44:59Do not take it for granted.
00:45:01Trust me, it serves no one.
00:45:03Richard was a good man.
00:45:06But he lived in a dream world.
00:45:08He thrust his greatest mistake
00:45:09upon me with no notice
00:45:11or warning and left me
00:45:12to face the consequences
00:45:13of harbouring
00:45:13an illegitimate child.
00:45:15I have done nothing
00:45:15but tried to protect
00:45:17both of my girls.
00:45:18Mama,
00:45:19we've never been in jeopardy
00:45:20because of Sophie.
00:45:25And I am tired
00:45:26of talking about her.
00:45:31It's still the matter
00:45:32of you impersonating nobility.
00:45:33Oh, that I think
00:45:34we can settle ourselves.
00:45:36As you have committed
00:45:37a far greater crime.
00:45:39Embezzlement of a dowry
00:45:40dishonouring the late
00:45:41Earl's will and estate.
00:45:44I will not go to prison.
00:45:48If you ruin me,
00:45:50I will ruin her.
00:45:51And vice versa.
00:45:52It is simple.
00:45:54We shall all agree
00:45:55to a more mutually beneficial
00:45:57recounting of events.
00:46:15It is a beautiful evening.
00:46:18Yes.
00:46:24Your Majesty.
00:46:25Mrs. Mondridge.
00:46:27Are you quite well?
00:46:28Your Majesty,
00:46:29I have prepared something for you.
00:46:30The maid,
00:46:31Benedict Bridgerton,
00:46:31is in love with.
00:46:32She is here.
00:46:35What do you mean,
00:46:36she is here?
00:46:36I have arranged for her
00:46:37to be here
00:46:38so that you might see
00:46:39what is between her
00:46:40and Mr. Bridgerton
00:46:40because I believe
00:46:42if you were to witness it
00:46:43in person,
00:46:44you will see the love
00:46:45they show as...
00:46:45No, Mrs. Mondridge.
00:46:47Get her out of here.
00:46:48Oh, Your Majesty.
00:46:49Perhaps...
00:46:51I will not.
00:46:55Once upon a time,
00:46:57there were royals
00:46:58living in a palace
00:46:59who wished for you
00:46:59to go away.
00:47:00But you stayed
00:47:01and you are the most
00:47:03fascinating woman
00:47:04to have sat on the throne
00:47:05in a very long time.
00:47:06You are a patron of music,
00:47:09of the arts.
00:47:10You have zebras
00:47:11in your gardens
00:47:12and you love gossip.
00:47:14You are a woman
00:47:14of many interests,
00:47:15but you are missing
00:47:16the largest portion
00:47:18of what is amusing
00:47:18in the world
00:47:19by ignoring those
00:47:19of the lower classes
00:47:20because,
00:47:21with all respect to you,
00:47:22Lady Danbury,
00:47:23not every maid
00:47:24is humble
00:47:24or graceful
00:47:25or simple.
00:47:27The woman
00:47:27Benedict Bridgerton
00:47:28is in love with?
00:47:30A woman
00:47:30capable of making
00:47:32that man settle down?
00:47:33That woman is sure
00:47:34to be full of
00:47:35vim and vigor,
00:47:36a spitfire
00:47:37so full of life
00:47:38that she has a countess
00:47:39setting foot
00:47:39in a prison
00:47:40because she is
00:47:40so obsessed
00:47:41with this woman.
00:47:42Your Majesty,
00:47:44you are missing
00:47:45all the good gossip.
00:47:52Hmm.
00:47:57That is too far.
00:47:58I will not do it.
00:47:58You will
00:47:59and you will retreat
00:48:00to your country estate
00:48:01for the remainder
00:48:01of the season.
00:48:02Well,
00:48:04Mr Bridgerton,
00:48:06I am told
00:48:07you are in love.
00:48:09Yes,
00:48:10Your Majesty.
00:48:14May I present
00:48:15Miss Sophie Gunn.
00:48:18Gunn?
00:48:21As in the late
00:48:22Lord Penwood?
00:48:23She is the daughter
00:48:24of his cousin.
00:48:25Were you not just saying
00:48:26how much they resembled
00:48:27each other,
00:48:28Lady Penwood?
00:48:35I was.
00:48:36She has spent
00:48:36most of her life
00:48:37in the country
00:48:38and has only just
00:48:38come to town.
00:48:40I thought you said...
00:48:41I was mistaken,
00:48:42Your Majesty.
00:49:02Do you speak?
00:49:04Yes,
00:49:05Your Majesty.
00:49:06Is what they say true?
00:49:08That you are
00:49:09a relation
00:49:10of the late Earl?
00:49:15I can say
00:49:16with complete conviction,
00:49:17Your Majesty,
00:49:18that I am by birth
00:49:19and by education
00:49:20a daughter
00:49:20of Penwood House.
00:49:31You would
00:49:32have made
00:49:33a wonderful diamond.
00:49:37Very well, then.
00:49:39Was there something
00:49:40of interest
00:49:42about shoe clips?
00:49:44No, Your Majesty.
00:49:45I do not believe so.
00:49:46I think there was.
00:49:48But carry on.
00:50:02We're cousins, then.
00:50:04We're cousins, then.
00:50:19We are sisters.
00:50:24I think young Violet
00:50:25would be quite impressed
00:50:27by you today.
00:50:29I think she would.
00:50:32Mm-hmm.
00:50:35That was quite
00:50:36a risk you took.
00:50:38Yes, Your Majesty.
00:50:39You're lucky
00:50:39I went along with it.
00:50:41Yes, Your Majesty.
00:50:43Run along.
00:50:52Did you hear?
00:50:54Apparently Lord Stotter
00:50:55is not content
00:50:55with Miss Lee's
00:50:56now-in-adopit dowry.
00:50:59Well, he has always been
00:51:00known to be a fortune hunter.
00:51:01Miss Lee is not my favourite,
00:51:03but I imagine the family
00:51:04rather needed one of the girls
00:51:05to make a match this season.
00:51:10something tells me
00:51:11all will be well.
00:51:15Oh.
00:51:24Farley!
00:51:25What are you doing here?
00:51:27Oh, my lady.
00:51:28Forgive me for coming so late.
00:51:29I hope you've not come
00:51:30to beg for your position
00:51:31back, Farley.
00:51:32Because if you have,
00:51:33I'm afraid I must tell you
00:51:34that we are more than
00:51:35satisfied with Ray.
00:51:37No, certainly not.
00:51:39I am headed to the country
00:51:41for a new position
00:51:42and I have come for
00:51:43some of my things
00:51:44before I leave town.
00:51:46I left behind a few books
00:51:48in my rush to depart.
00:51:51Did we not tease Penelope
00:51:52about her reading together?
00:51:54I do not remember you
00:51:55picking up a single book.
00:51:57Well, I also came
00:51:58for an apology.
00:51:58I never got one.
00:52:00An apology?
00:52:01From me?
00:52:02About what?
00:52:02Well, for taking me
00:52:03for granted.
00:52:04For treating me like family
00:52:06and then working me
00:52:06like a dog
00:52:07and paying me worse than that.
00:52:09I think that is
00:52:10highly unfair.
00:52:12You will not be getting
00:52:13an apology from me.
00:52:15Very well.
00:52:22Perhaps.
00:52:25Perhaps I could
00:52:27possibly be
00:52:29apologetic about
00:52:31one or two things.
00:52:39Those, uh,
00:52:41dresses
00:52:41that I offered you,
00:52:43they were clearly
00:52:44out of season.
00:52:44I should have found you
00:52:46something nicer.
00:52:49Or paid you more.
00:52:52that will do.
00:52:54I forgive you.
00:52:55Oh, Farley.
00:52:57I have missed you.
00:52:59Oh, I cannot begin
00:53:00to tell you.
00:53:01That Penwood woman,
00:53:02she made work in here
00:53:03seem like a holiday.
00:53:04I was only going
00:53:04to the countryside
00:53:05because she came home
00:53:06tonight in a foul mood
00:53:07and dismissed me.
00:53:08Dismissed you?
00:53:09What sort of a fool
00:53:10would do such a thing?
00:53:14Well, we cannot have you
00:53:16going to the countryside.
00:53:18Oh, but you have Ray.
00:53:20Yes.
00:53:21But it is a very large house.
00:53:28Yes, he has formed
00:53:29an attachment
00:53:29to Miss Sophie Gunn,
00:53:31a relation
00:53:32of the late Lord Penwood.
00:53:54Miss Gunn,
00:53:55may I have
00:53:57your first dance?
00:54:00You may,
00:54:01Mr. Bridgerton.
00:54:03You may,
00:54:59was that not
00:55:00absurd. It was a truly mad plan. She's certainly full of new energy, that Mrs. Mondridge. Though
00:55:10I do not know if her plan worked because she planned it well or because of the sheer lack
00:55:14of a plan. Well, she was right about one thing. You do enjoy being amused. Ridiculous. It
00:55:29is the best thing to happen all season. No. The best thing to happen all season is that
00:55:34you are sure to win your wager with Mrs. Bridgerton. Oh, yes. The bet shall be settled.
00:55:55That was fun, Lady Dambry.
00:56:06We have such fun together. Yes, we do. I will miss you.
00:56:19Oh, brother. I command these to stop.
00:56:27To stop.
00:56:39How does it feel to be officially recognized as a penwood?
00:56:44Strange. But good.
00:56:46Would you mind if I cut it short, then? Because I would very much like to make you a Bridgerton.
00:57:06will you marry me?
00:57:09Yes. Yes, I will.
00:57:12Yes.
00:57:14Tell me, you good.
00:57:18.
00:58:00I'm overjoyed at how things have worked in your son's favour.
00:58:03Oh, as am I.
00:58:04The two of them can marry properly and stay here in town now if they wish.
00:58:09They are a legitimate pair as far as anyone is concerned.
00:58:12That's very good.
00:58:13And now we may at last make our announcement joyfully and without concern.
00:58:18Shall we tell your children tonight?
00:58:22Is something the matter?
00:58:32I, um...
00:58:37It has been our other event for evening.
00:58:39Are we not perhaps rushing things?
00:58:41I do not see any reason we should delay.
00:58:44Unless you see one that I'm not aware of.
00:58:48One I should be made aware of.
00:58:51I have been hesitant because of my children.
00:58:53Because of my late husband.
00:58:56Because of Francesca.
00:58:58But today I came to understand another source of my hesitation.
00:59:02Which is?
00:59:04I have been a wife and a mother for so long.
00:59:08I have lost perspective entirely on who I was before that.
00:59:11I am only just starting to get reacquainted with that part of myself.
00:59:15My carefree, wild self.
00:59:17And I am afraid that if we are to wend, then I would lose that opportunity.
00:59:23And yet I do not want to lose you either.
00:59:26I do not understand that.
00:59:28Oh, would it not?
00:59:31Could we not continue as we are?
00:59:37Seeing one another, but still having our independence?
00:59:46Violet, I want so much for your happiness.
00:59:50But I want for my own as well.
00:59:53Our time together has been a gift.
00:59:55I want to share a life with you.
00:59:58And I would wait if I believed you may one day want the same.
01:00:03But I am starting to doubt that you do.
01:00:05Please, Marcus, please.
01:00:07I...
01:00:09I care for you deeply.
01:00:13I know.
01:00:14I feel that you do.
01:00:25Dearest gentle reader.
01:00:27Are you perhaps feeling a little shock?
01:00:36Have you seen Miss Sterling tonight?
01:00:38Has she gone to bed already?
01:00:40Did Miss Sterling not inform you?
01:00:41Of what?
01:00:43She's packed her belongings and left.
01:00:45You thought I was gone for good.
01:00:56But far too much transpires for this author to remain silent.
01:01:13And so we are reunited.
01:01:16What are we doing?
01:01:17I desire to dance with my betrothed.
01:01:39You are rather skilled, even with no music.
01:01:42But it's all the more remarkable if you knew who my first dance tutor was.
01:01:46I had so much to overcome.
01:01:49It is assuredly a reunion rooted in care and love.
01:02:03I thought you were done with Whistledown.
01:02:06I am.
01:02:07I am working on my novel.
01:02:11And who in the devil wrote this?
01:02:13Though this time with a very different author.
01:02:24It is midnight.
01:02:26Must you flee?
01:02:31I can stay.
01:02:33As long as you like.
01:02:41I was hoping you might stay forever.
01:02:47But for now, my new identity shall remain a secret.
01:03:07Dear Rita, we are going to have so much fun.
01:04:01Dear Rita, we are going to have so much fun.
01:04:31Dear Rita, we are going to have so much fun.
01:04:41I have some advice for you.
01:04:43More advice?
01:04:44Even my wedding day, you must be the wizened firstborn brother.
01:04:48In fact, the wisest thing I could impart is never listen to me again.
01:04:54Father would be so proud of you.
01:04:57I know I am.
01:05:03Who's wedding do you think we will be attending next?
01:05:06Oh, I do love a wedding.
01:05:08All the best people in the same place.
01:05:11As an attendee.
01:05:16Do you think you'll ever do it again?
01:05:17Me?
01:05:19Me?
01:05:19A wedding?
01:05:20No.
01:05:20I have had my great love.
01:05:22One time is enough.
01:05:23Loose me but, he.
01:05:25Alexander, you are good.
01:05:27Remember?
01:05:28No.
01:05:28Mot where?
01:05:43Is that right?
01:05:44Go over, Texas.
01:05:45Hey someone, love you.
01:05:46Did.
01:05:46I will be waistline.
01:05:48It's okay.
01:05:49Let's go over, Jesus.
01:05:52To joy, Paul, Mother.
01:06:21Save me.
01:06:24Benedict.
01:06:26Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God and in the face.
01:06:48May kiss your bride.
01:06:54May kiss your bride.
