00:00:01Hatch!
00:00:03Sir.
00:00:12But though a moth may love a flame...
00:00:17A letter for you got mixed in with the family's mail this morning.
00:00:33It will burn should they meet.
00:01:15The Christmas time hole is done while in the next couple of months.
00:01:15It is around right now.
00:01:17The parts of the house have rubbed to stay together.
00:01:17In the separation aลkabะธะฝะณ made its chances of getting greener.
00:01:40I am concerned that mrs. Wilson may have always slept mrs. Wilson never
00:01:45Oh yes, and it is very unlikely she would fail to wake you in time for me to sneak away
00:01:51in fact I think mrs. Wilson would sooner walk naked through Mayfair
00:01:56Marcus it's merely that hyacinth is hosting her ball this week what no it is not a ball it is
00:02:04a
00:02:05a rehearsal for her and her peers to practice what they've learned in their dance lessons but
00:02:09she seems to forget his ball I enjoy seeing how much you enjoy your children's happiness
00:02:15and I think they would so much enjoy seeing your happiness
00:02:29this mr. mistress you write about it is mr. Hiscox is it not well please you don't ask me that
00:02:34no I
00:02:35thought it was a finely written issue surely you can tell me because I know it is mr. Hiscox half
00:02:40the ton knows and I thought the whole point of whistle down is that she always names names she
00:02:47is rather tired of everyone in the ton expecting her to write whatever they please I cannot tell
00:02:51you the number of people who told me that gossip so many people that I decided to write about it
00:02:55if only to warn mr. Hiscox to be more cautious that Steve ruined the reputation of his entire family
00:03:00so it is mr. Hiscox oh
00:03:06thanks miss I felt safe in London knowing that Penwood houses on the outskirts of town
00:03:10to know that Araminta could be living anywhere now
00:03:13I'm afraid that's a do not know to where she's moved
00:03:16she and the girls left in such a hurry and the new lady Penwood only left set the new housekeeper
00:03:20with
00:03:20her praise be well whoever the new lady Penwood is let us hope for your sake she's less less of
00:03:24a
00:03:25she-devil Alfie oh that felt good to say now we shall have to see about the new lady Penwood
00:03:30next
00:03:30week after renovations are complete she's yet to show her face and your new employers you have not
00:03:36said who they are a very pleasant family whose name is the Bridgers what who the Bridgers oh so fair
00:03:48I knew I recognized those colors the Bridgerton uniform really suits you how did this happen well it's just simply
00:04:01I found employment at Cavender House in the countryside Philip Cavender turned out to be
00:04:05a knave I threw a glass of water in his face and then Benedict Bridgerton appeared and we squished
00:04:09a Cavender's face we fled together I got caught in a downpour took refuge at his cottage which is not
00:04:13a
00:04:13cottage at all may I add I nursed him back to health he asked me to kiss him while he
00:04:17was asleep
00:04:17and then I somehow kissed him while we were both awake he well-nigh kidnapped me and brought me to
00:04:21London forced me into a job at his mother's house we avoided each other until it all became too much
00:04:25a bear and now he has asked me to be his his good god is what his mistress
00:04:37and so what did you say we cannot be together Alfie it's a terrible thing to have been asked
00:04:47is it you would be given lodging an allowance the freedom to come and go as you please no real
00:04:55duties besides the duty of keeping mr. Bridgerton happy and am I wrong to imagine that would please
00:05:01you as well it would certainly please me what is so terrible about it nearly every high society
00:05:10gentleman has a mistress so I know that better than anyone surely
00:05:19what do you mean to do that is why I sent for you to meet me to inquire if you
00:05:25know of a position
00:05:26elsewhere now that the maid wars have subsided I hear London has been flooded with more hands than
00:05:31there are positions there is an opening under the new lady penwood it would be excellent to have you
00:05:37home but I thought the old lady penwood spread the word that you were not to be hired a letter
00:05:42of
00:05:42introduction from Violet Bridgerton means far more in this town than gossip from Armin to gun
00:05:45lady Bridgerton has written your letter of introduction
00:05:50she will i'm certain she will hopefully before i have to see mr. Bridgerton again
00:06:04and how is mrs. Modridge she is at the palace being fitted for her lady in waiting position
00:06:12she's at the palace palace at the palace very well
00:06:20what is it there is a woman of course there is is it the woman from the masquerade no she
00:06:29does not
00:06:29exist remember i found a new woman to inspire my foolishness and i believe that i have upset her
00:06:37except it was all i could do who is she
00:06:45and what you did was she is not a person of any rank and i asked her to be with
00:06:50me
00:06:53you mean
00:06:56as your mistress i cannot ask her to marry me
00:07:00making her your mistress is the only way tolerated by society
00:07:04but no matter her rank no woman no man no person truly desires to be hidden
00:07:15did you at least make it clear that you wish in some
00:07:19fantastical world that the two of you could be together legitimately no
00:07:26but we are not in a fantastical world
00:07:29so would not that have been dishonest it is not about honesty it is about gesture
00:07:35how can a woman trust you to navigate a complicated life with her when she cannot trust you even to
00:07:40navigate her feelings
00:07:41how can a woman trust you to navigate her experiences
00:08:11you look magnificent stand taller
00:08:44who is this this is your new lady in waiting your majesty mrs alice mondridge
00:08:53you may remember it was she who offered a suggestion as to mr bridgerton's unknown lady
00:09:01you may take your place
00:09:07and was her suggestion well founded
00:09:16your majesty i
00:09:19i have not heard
00:09:23surely you will find out for me lady danbury
00:09:25you and i have such crowded diaries of engagements your majesty i assure you
00:09:32mrs mondridge will deal with this
00:09:46that can't have happened
00:09:50uncle was here
00:09:51i have never seen his face like that
00:09:57good evening or should i say good morning nearly
00:10:03ah my deepest apologies um did we keep you up i have not wanted to break up the festivities but
00:10:09it is
00:10:10four in the morning we are planned to have breakfast at nine thirty is there a reason we are breaking
00:10:16our fast at nine thirty
00:10:16perhaps we could push it a little later
00:10:20i fear that would be most unkind to our cook who will already be up at six
00:10:24considering we have probably kept the entire house awake
00:10:28apologies truly we did not notice the time
00:10:31perhaps we could give everyone the morning off and find some fruit and bread ourselves
00:10:34we used to plunder the kitchen all the time when we were children
00:10:38yes it was great fun
00:10:40i do not wish to do that
00:10:45let us keep to our usual time
00:10:49and we will come to bed now
00:10:53thank you
00:11:08i do not want eloise to be present during any of my lessons after my rehearsal as she is not
00:11:13in the least interested in my future
00:11:15that is not exactly true i simply
00:11:18you do realize eloise that if you are no longer sitting in on finishing lessons then you must return to
00:11:22the marriage mat
00:11:23that was our arrangement
00:11:24what no you cannot do that
00:11:28well i believe i just did
00:11:29mrs wilson sophie shall we make a survey of the grand hall for the recital
00:11:33hyacinth let us convene
00:11:35hyacinth surely we can hyacinth
00:11:38i will be there shortly
00:11:44lady bridgeton may i steal a moment of your time
00:11:46of course
00:11:46sith please
00:11:49is hyacinth driving you mad with this recital planning
00:11:52she acts as if she were making her debut
00:11:54no my lady
00:11:55i am enjoying her enthusiasm
00:11:59mom
00:12:01i know i have not been here for long
00:12:04and i am so grateful to you for your many kindnesses
00:12:06but
00:12:07i am also aware that this position was created for me
00:12:10and i should not like to tax your generosity any longer
00:12:12sophie there is no tax
00:12:13truly
00:12:13i have been made aware of a suitable position elsewhere
00:12:17and i wondered if you might be so kind as to write me a letter of introduction
00:12:21has something occurred
00:12:23to make you wish to leave
00:12:28no mom
00:12:30my desire to leave has nothing to do with anyone in this house
00:12:35i simply have an opportunity to work again in the house i grew up in
00:12:37and i should like to return to that familiar place
00:12:39and what house is that again
00:12:42you mentioned you grew up in aylesbury yes
00:12:46yes mom
00:12:47i have not been to aylesbury
00:12:50it's famous for its owls no
00:12:55yes
00:12:56though i do not much like owls they are quite frightening
00:13:05i would be happy to write you a letter if that is what you wish
00:13:08but do you mind if
00:13:11you wait
00:13:12until after hyacinth recital
00:13:14of course mom
00:13:15thank you lady bridget and i am most grateful
00:13:44do you ever get the sense that sophie is hiding something
00:13:48do you think she's taking advantage somehow
00:13:51no the opposite
00:13:53i wonder if her history is less lowly than she admits with her education her manner of speaking
00:13:58sometimes governesses turn out to be the runaway daughters of nobility do they not
00:14:02governesses yes but i've never met a maid of noble origins
00:14:08shall i make inquiries
00:14:09oh please
00:14:12she mentioned that she was from aylesbury but when i mentioned the famous owls she was unbothered
00:14:17aylesbury is famous for its doves
00:14:19exactly
00:14:21oh
00:14:21oh mrs wilson
00:14:23um
00:14:24would you mind extending an invitation to lord anderson for the recital
00:14:28i think it is time for me to come around
00:14:31of course mom
00:14:44my nearly four decades as butler not once has the family moved in before the decoration was complete
00:14:50it is uh unusual or most unusual but you see lady penwood when a husband died his cousin inherited the
00:14:59title
00:15:00the new lord penwood prefers the country so he let our ladyship stay at penwood house in london all these
00:15:05years
00:15:06until the new lord penwood took a wife and so he wrote to tell our ladyship and her girls to
00:15:11vacate to a rented house immediately
00:15:17i do like it here i much prefer a old home
00:15:22yes well at least we are next door to the bridgertons
00:15:26who do still have one very unmarried son two unmarried sons a b c d e f
00:15:35gregory i believe is his name who perhaps will be eligible by the time you are ready to marry
00:15:42has there been any progress between you and mr bridgerton
00:15:46mrs varley
00:15:47uh yes my lady
00:15:49have you yet searched through all the crates for my missing shoe clips
00:15:52ma'am we have we could not locate an additional pair
00:15:56i had 37 pairs of shoe clips before the move i now only have 36
00:16:01i counted the last time my shoes were all cleaned
00:16:03perhaps you double counted a pair then
00:16:05shoe clips do all look so alike
00:16:09these were diamond french clips i do not have another pair like them
00:16:13if you wish i drove a hard bargain for some clips from my previous ladyship
00:16:18i have an idea about where they went
00:16:21i believe they were stolen by one of the household servants
00:16:30sophie beck
00:16:42i cannot go back on the marriage mart but i cannot avoid it if she will not speak to me
00:16:47and it seems
00:16:48she will not speak to me if it is about anything other than the marriage mart
00:16:53perhaps we should introduce hyacinth to john's cousin
00:16:55i don't want to tire her out sterling is certainly tiring me out
00:17:09is that benedict
00:17:11ah yes he sent for me but now i have run into you so he will have to make do
00:17:14with the two of us
00:17:16eloise francesca and sophie
00:17:18good day
00:17:20shall we walk in fact i wish to speak with eloise i've been thinking how we might get you back
00:17:25into
00:17:25hyacinth's good graces
00:17:27have you
00:17:28i believe the answer is a feather
00:17:31a feather
00:17:32you know she was always trying to steal both of your presentation feathers
00:17:35i thought we could send you into the shop to purchase her one of her own
00:17:38to wear for her recycling
00:17:40was that truly your idea
00:17:43no i had hatch asked mrs wilson but it is a good one is it not
00:17:46you two go on ahead i will keep sophie company
00:17:49but i do not surely your heart will guide you to select the correct one
00:17:53and if not francesca has exquisite taste
00:18:04sophie you knew i would not speak to you at the house
00:18:07you made miss bridgetton your pawn in order to see me
00:18:09forgive me i had to see you you did not answer my letter
00:18:13because i do not wish to see him you did not answer my letter and i understand why
00:18:19when we were in the stairwell i was so taken by the moment
00:18:24yes i understand we were both carried away
00:18:30is that all it was to you
00:18:45why have you brought me here what do you want
00:18:49i i had hoped for an answer
00:18:54to whether or not i will be your mistress
00:18:56you truly do not know me at all
00:18:59but if you did you know that being your mistress is the last thing i would ever want
00:19:02my answer is no
00:19:05miss bridgeton
00:19:06i simply picked the first one i saw
00:19:08i think it is an excellent choice
00:19:12thank you
00:19:14it is not proper for you to enter this way miss my ladyship cannot meet with you
00:19:19if she refuses to come down i will scream she has written about me and disrupted my life
00:19:24i now have a right to disrupt hers
00:19:25ray
00:19:28mrs bridgeton i tried to send her away but she was making a scene so i had to bring her
00:19:32in
00:19:32very well i'd ask you to make sure no one saw you are lady whistle down
00:19:37i am what you have written about me i did not name names it does not matter everyone knows i'm
00:19:43the mistress to whom you referred the moth drawn to the flame i only wrote what i wrote because word
00:19:48had already spread i hope to warn you on mr hiscox and what about me did you not think of
00:19:53me
00:19:54everyone may have been speculating but whistledown made it real real for the ton
00:20:00real for his family and now my plan to save small sums so that i could be independent the
00:20:05day he inevitably dropped me for someone prettier and younger it is all gone
00:20:12it is a terrible position that he has left you in but i am not sure there is anything i
00:20:18can do
00:20:20help me please write again say it is untrue say the ton has confused me for someone else please
00:20:29virginia it would not change anything my readers would not believe me you were seen together far
00:20:38too much we were careless but it is because we love one another
00:20:49loved but it is your quill that has ruined me
00:20:59it is unsurprising you are not feeling your best miss sterling has kept you up nearly every night
00:21:04we will hardly sleep tonight in preparation for her soiree tomorrow it is not the lack of sleep
00:21:09it is parliament you know i enjoy michaela immensely she has always brought out a certain
00:21:19lightness in me a lightness which i could use at the moment because of parliament because of
00:21:27parliament the seditious meetings act the clergy residence act and all
00:21:34and you are certain it is not because you are disappointed that we remain childless
00:21:39i assure you it is parliament
00:21:44it is only that we were getting along so well before she became our guest
00:21:48now it seems we hardly have any time together i understand i do miss our routine but
00:21:55i also hate to leave michaela unattended
00:21:59michaela will be well
00:22:04perhaps we could introduce her to some gentlemen tomorrow night
00:22:07then she might make her own routine please let us not
00:22:11i believe she's quite insistent on marching in dispenserhood that is all
00:22:24i realize i must prove myself to the queen but i do not love the idea of spying on the
00:22:28bridgetons
00:22:29i do not wish to betray their confidence
00:22:32what
00:22:34mr bridgeton can use all the help he can get trust me he's a little uh confused at the moment
00:22:41lady bridgeton's interests align with those of her majesty
00:22:44if you are a true friend to the bridgetons you will realize that all this intrigue is in their best
00:22:50interest could you not talk to lady bridgeton for me no my dear the point is for me to step
00:22:58back
00:23:04nikki did have an invitation to miss hyacinth's recital

00:23:43if you were you would know of my plight
00:23:47and my stupidity
00:23:48you speak of miss virginia
00:23:52i was forced to end things
00:23:56to protect her in truth but she does not understand
00:24:03what will you do
00:24:05what can i do
00:24:08as i see it i have two options
00:24:13there is giving up and there is giving in returning to the demimonde to a midday drunk
00:24:24to chasing sorrows in the bottom of the bottle would you like to join me in one
00:24:35not just yet
00:24:37not just yet
00:26:16What are you doing here?
00:26:17What are you doing in here?
00:26:19I was...
00:26:20I was...
00:26:22I was cleaning.
00:26:25And you?
00:26:26I was around the corner and I could not stand the thought of passing by without seeing you.
00:26:38Who is this woman to you?
00:26:44She is...
00:26:46Someone I met one night at a ball some months ago.
00:26:51Do you have feelings for her?
00:26:55No, I did.
00:26:57Until I met you.
00:27:01Is she...
00:27:02Someone you would have married?
00:27:04It does not matter.
00:27:08It is you that I want now, Sophie.
00:27:17Why do you find it suitable to kiss me?
00:27:23Because you are irresistible.
00:27:28But why is it suitable?
00:27:30Why was it suitable to kiss me by the lake or in the stairwell?
00:27:35Would you have found it suitable to kiss the lady that you met at that ball?
00:27:39Or would you have been a gentleman and refused to ruin her?
00:27:42Would you have asked her to be your mistress?
00:27:44Do you truly understand what you're asking me with that question?
00:27:48You are asking me to relinquish my virtue, my dignity, my self-respect,
00:27:52or to be reduced to a glorified courtesan who will never be able to marry.
00:27:56I may not be as high as a lady, but I refuse to be that low.
00:28:02As a maid, I am...
00:28:04respectable.
00:28:06I am necessary.
00:28:07And now here you stand attempting to rob me off that too, and for what?
00:28:10No.
00:28:11Tell me, please, for what?
00:28:13I apologise.
00:28:14Forgive me.
00:28:15I will go.
00:28:31I do not believe I have heard the name.
00:28:33Sophie Beck.
00:28:35I knew a Mrs Brock once.
00:28:37Ah.
00:28:38Thought I might come across you a lot.
00:28:40Oh, Mrs Farley.
00:28:41What a pleasure to see you.
00:28:43You have been missed.
00:28:44Yes.
00:28:45Well, my new employer used to live on the other side of town, but we have just moved into the
00:28:50square.
00:28:51Oh, that's right.
00:28:52You're no longer at Featherington House.
00:28:55You must feel like you're on holiday with your new employer, compared to Lady Featherington.
00:29:00What are you implying, Rebecca?
00:29:03Well, she may not have been perfect, but neither is Lady Penwood.
00:29:08Penwood?
00:29:09I heard she runs through staff faster than tea leaves.
00:29:12She has had me dismiss more servants over the last few months than I have had in the rest of
00:29:16my career.
00:29:17Perhaps one of them is your Mrs Brock.
00:29:19Beck.
00:29:20Sophie Beck.
00:29:21Have you heard anything about her?
00:29:23We have recently hired her at Bridgerton House.
00:29:27Mmm, I'm not certain.
00:29:30Um, has there been some trouble with her?
00:29:32Heavens no.
00:29:33She is one of the finest maids I've ever hired.
00:29:36Diligent to a fault.
00:29:37Oh.
00:29:38I'm afraid I cannot tell you anything.
00:29:42Sophie Beck.
00:29:43I cannot say I know her, but I did used to work with another Miss Beck, many years ago.
00:30:03Very good.
00:30:05Oh, Benedict.
00:30:06Oh.
00:30:07The boys and I were just partaking in our monthly dining club when Gregory happened to stop by.
00:30:12Yeah, our wives are gathered at Dankworth House so that we might enjoy our imported cheeses.
00:30:17Would you like a slice of taleggio?
00:30:22No, thank you.
00:30:23I woke up thinking today is a very good day for day drinking and came to see if you'd come
00:30:27with me.
00:30:27But I do not wish to interrupt.
00:30:29Oh, stay.
00:30:30We can have Barnes bring you a brandy if you wish.
00:30:34Gentlemen.
00:30:35We were just giving Gregory some advice on the matters of the heart.
00:30:39Ah.
00:30:39Before he attends High Sense Recital.
00:30:41He hears a few charming young ladies will be in attendance.
00:30:46We do not often encounter the fairest sex of Teetan.
00:30:49Why have you not asked me?
00:30:50Clearly I am the more seasoned brother.
00:30:52Yes, but you are not married, so you clearly have not been the most successful.
00:30:57When I met my Philippa, I knew immediately she was the one.
00:31:01I courted Mrs Dankworth an entire summer.
00:31:06Sometimes affection does take time to grow.
00:31:08That is the thing.
00:31:09Once I meet someone, how do I know if she's interested?
00:31:12You cannot.
00:31:13Not truly.
00:31:14But you must be brave.
00:31:16Do what our eldest brother told me to do with Penelope.
00:31:19You tell her your own feelings.
00:31:22I know there is nothing more terrifying, but once you have met that young lady who is meant
00:31:28for you, who challenges you, sees you as you are, you cannot let any amount of fear stop
00:31:34you from letting your heart speak.
00:31:46MUSIC PLAYS
00:31:55We simply decided it was a sign to continue on sailing.
00:31:58And that is how one ends up on an island.
00:32:05It is a delightful party, Lady Kilmartin.
00:32:08Kind of you introduced your cousin to society.
00:32:11Yes, well, I am missing my baby sister's recital tonight, but we were obliged to act as hosts.
00:32:18She is quite a woman of passion, do you not think?
00:32:22Yes, absolutely.
00:32:24Do you want to go in?
00:32:25Yes.
00:32:25Let's go in.
00:32:30I cannot wait for tonight.
00:32:32Daphne told me that if a young man takes a fancy to you, he will offer to obtain a lemonade
00:32:37for you.
00:32:38We must make sure to have enough.
00:32:40What does lemonade have to do?
00:32:41No one told me about lemonade.
00:32:42There will be plenty, I assure you.
00:32:45I shall check that everything is in order.
00:32:46Oh, before you go...
00:32:51I should like to tell you both that I have a friend attending tonight, and he is called
00:32:57Lord Anderson.
00:32:59Lady Danbury's brother?
00:33:00Yes, yes.
00:33:02Lady Danbury cannot attend tonight, but he will, because he is my friend.
00:33:09I have a friend.
00:33:14I must ensure the footman will come by with the lemonade regularly.
00:33:17What is this about lemonade?
00:33:19I don't know.
00:33:19Oh, I isn't.
00:33:20I, er, I brought you something for tonight.
00:33:23You do love feathers.
00:33:26But Sophie has already arranged my hair to my liking, and I do not wish to look like the
00:33:30silly girl you think I am.
00:33:35We can begin your return to the marriage mart tonight.
00:33:38I believe there are several older brothers here as chaperones.
00:33:45Lady Bridgerton.
00:33:46Uh, yes.
00:33:47I have information about Sophie.
00:33:50How?
00:33:51The housekeeper at Lady Luton's house once worked with another Miss Beck.
00:33:55Sophie's mother, surely.
00:33:57Who is from London, and not Aylesbury.
00:34:01Sophie has her mother's name.
00:34:03Which likely means that...
00:34:05She is illegitimate, I would imagine.
00:34:09I find I am disappointed.
00:34:11I had hoped perhaps she was a legitimate nobility so that she may be suitable.
00:34:17Uh, suitable?
00:34:19For what?
00:34:20Oh.
00:34:21I do not know.
00:34:23It was foolish.
00:34:24Thank you, Mrs. Wilson.
00:34:38Mrs. Varley.
00:34:40My lady.
00:34:41It is tea time.
00:34:43Yes, ma'am.
00:34:45And here is the tea.
00:34:48We should like to take evening tea in the small parlour.
00:34:51We have been waiting in there nearly an hour.
00:34:53My apologies.
00:34:55Ma'am, under my last ladyship...
00:34:58Mrs. Varley.
00:34:58I am not Lady Featherington.
00:35:01And frankly, I am tired of hearing about her.
00:35:04We misunderstand one another so frequently.
00:35:09Perhaps this arrangement has run its course.
00:35:12Ma'am, if you...
00:35:14If you could just give me another chance...
00:35:16To do what?
00:35:17Take advantage of my good nature again?
00:35:19To leave me without help while you spend nearly an hour at the market as you did this morning?
00:35:24I was trying to gather information on the maid who wronged you this morning.
00:35:31Sophie Beck.
00:35:34And?
00:35:39I believe she is working at Bridgerton House.
00:35:56I believe she is working at Bridgerton House.
00:35:58Amen.
00:36:12I believe she is always working at Pam and her mother and her father and her mother only.
00:36:46She is divine.
00:36:48And so you must be brave.
00:36:51We will begin with the long ways.
00:36:54And now the young men may approach.
00:37:10Miss Hyacinth.
00:37:12Pleasure seeing you again, Lord Kent.
00:37:19Take your places.
00:37:29Posture.
00:37:33And now, your relevance.
00:38:00You're welcome.
00:38:05You're welcome.
00:38:09You're welcome.
00:38:12Come on.
00:38:14Come on.
00:38:15Come on.
00:38:17Come on.
00:38:17Come on.
00:38:33Come on.
00:38:35Come on.
00:38:50You're welcome.
00:38:53You're welcome.
00:39:16Good evening, Miss Hyacinth.
00:39:18Good evening.
00:39:20Miss Rochelle, is it?
00:39:22May I inquire about your interests?
00:39:24Well, and now we bow and curtsy and take a small break for refreshments.
00:39:39So, how did it go?
00:39:40Did you have a good conversation?
00:39:42I think I may be in love.
00:39:46I enjoyed our dance very much.
00:39:48Although I must say, I'm rather thirsty after such activity.
00:39:52As am I.
00:39:53I should have had some lemonade.
00:40:06Sister, your footwork for the long waist was impeccable, of course.
00:40:12Oh.
00:40:12Miss Bridgerton, I've not seen you in society for some time.
00:40:15Are you making a return?
00:40:18I don't...
00:40:19Oh, look!
00:40:24Oh.
00:40:37You are here.
00:40:40I am.
00:40:42You are here with my family and the world has not fallen apart.
00:40:49I do not.
00:40:49I do not.
00:40:50I do not.
00:40:52The time is right.
00:40:58Lady Bridgerton, I was wondering how things went with Benedict and Miss Hollis.
00:41:03Oh, by your neighbour.
00:41:05We had her and her mother over for tea.
00:41:08She is most amiable.
00:41:09Sadly, she is not Benedict's young lady.
00:41:12Oh.
00:41:13That is unfortunate.
00:41:14Indeed.
00:41:15In fact, I do not think he is even looking for his young lady anymore.
00:41:19Is that because there is someone else?
00:41:20No.
00:41:22No.
00:41:23No.
00:41:29Sophie.
00:41:31Mr Bridgerton, do you need something?
00:41:35No.
00:41:38I found it.
00:41:42We will begin the next dance, which our girls will dance with their chaperones.
00:41:49Are you ready, brother?
00:41:51Are you ready for our dance?
00:42:02It is always a comfort to have you in the room.
00:42:05Thank you, Lady Danbury.
00:42:06You are most welcome.
00:42:07I had hoped to be at Hyacinth Recital, but when the Queen calls...
00:42:10Yes, I had hoped to be there as well.
00:42:12But Her Majesty did insist on my bringing you in.
00:42:21Your Majesty.
00:42:23As you requested, Mrs Bridgerton.
00:42:28Mrs Bridgerton, I called you here because I did not like your column this week.
00:42:34Why are you no longer naming names?
00:42:36Your Majesty, I...
00:42:38And there has not been any news of Mr Bridgerton of late.
00:42:41How are we to settle our bet if you do not write of him?
00:42:44I've had to employ Lady Danbury to do your job.
00:42:52You may answer.
00:42:57Your Majesty, for so long, Whistledown has brought me joy.
00:43:03And like you, I will always believe in the power of gossip.
00:43:06But since I have become known publicly, there has been a change.
00:43:11The power I hold over the ton, it is too great.
00:43:16There is an imbalance.
00:43:27Whistledown takes up a space which makes it impossible to deliver good, true, fair gossip.
00:43:34And I have considered what, well, I was wondering if you might consider,
00:43:40knowing that you are a patron not only of Whistledown but also of the arts,
00:43:45if you might consider letting me rest my column and pursue other writing.
00:43:58No. No, no, no.
00:44:03Why does everyone keep asking me these questions?
00:44:07I should like to retire.
00:44:16Brimsley.
00:44:34Francesca, I cannot thank you enough for tonight.
00:44:37We are most happy to be your hosts.
00:44:40I noticed you did not have much of a chance to speak to Lord Taylor.
00:44:43Miss Sterling.
00:44:45I believe we spoke, in fact.
00:44:48It was a pleasure hearing about your barley holdings.
00:44:50Yes, I do love barley.
00:44:53May I join your conversation?
00:44:56Certainly.
00:44:56We may bore you, though,
00:44:58as my cousin and I cannot stop reminiscing about our childhood.
00:45:01Yes, Lady Kilmartin talked a good deal about how much of a family woman you are.
00:45:04And I am a family man myself.
00:45:07Lady Kilmartin believes we have much in common.
00:45:12If you will excuse me, my lord.
00:45:14I could use a moment to freshen up.
00:45:27I asked you kindly not to force suitors onto Michaela.
00:45:31He expressed interest.
00:45:33I thought perhaps she might be flattered.
00:45:34That is not the point, Francesca.
00:45:41I will find her.
00:45:44I will patch this up.
00:45:58What are you doing in here?
00:46:00And on the floor?
00:46:01You will ruin your dress.
00:46:02Will you please give me a moment?
00:46:07You are upset with me.
00:46:10Why?
00:46:12Do you not remember ambushing me just now with an unwanted suitor?
00:46:16I apologise.
00:46:18I assumed John was overstating the case when he suggested I should not introduce you to suitors.
00:46:25My cousin asked you not to interfere and you did so anyway.
00:46:28Lord Taylor is a respectable gentleman.
00:46:31I was simply trying to help you find a companion.
00:46:33Francesca, you do not know me.
00:46:35So please, draw back.
00:46:38And how am I meant to know someone who is determined to be unknowable?
00:46:41The entire time we were in Scotland, you could hardly contain your chaos long enough to stay in one place
00:46:46for longer than five minutes.
00:46:47And now you turn up here to our home uninvited.
00:46:51How do you suggest I respond when you show me, my husband, so little respect?
00:46:56I assure you, John does not feel disrespected.
00:46:58He appreciates my chaos.
00:47:00You could do with some yourself.
00:47:01Then why has he been unwell since your return?
00:47:04Perhaps your insistence on idleness is to blame?
00:47:06You are causing him distress.
00:47:08No, I am causing you distress.
00:47:10Of course you are!
00:47:11You cannot understand what it is like being newly married, desperately wanting to be a good wife,
00:47:16all the while feeling constantly inadequate like there is something wrong with me.
00:47:20Must you add to that?
00:47:31You have had your housekeeper organise your jigsaw collection numerically.
00:47:36What could possibly be wrong with you?
00:47:41What could possibly be wrong with you?
00:47:43He loves you, Francesca.
00:47:47In John's eyes, you need never worry about being inadequate.
00:47:52I never intended to cause either of you distress.
00:47:55I am only here because I miss my cousin.
00:47:58I worry for him when I am away.
00:48:01We have been through so much together.
00:48:04But as I see now, I do not have to worry.
00:48:11He is you.
00:48:13He cannot be more secure.
00:48:16It is only that there are very few people I feel secure with, and John is one of them.
00:48:40Truthfully, I have never seen him laugh the way he does when he is with you.
00:48:45Which is why, if I am honest, I am a little envious of your chaos.
00:48:54Perhaps I can be open to it.
00:48:57As long as you do not expect me to stay up past ten o'clock.
00:49:01It may be chaotic, but I am not struck with madness.
00:49:11Are you a little drunk?
00:49:14I knew you were more forthcoming than usual.
00:49:17You are not the only one who can be spirited.
00:49:21Well, I could use more spirited friends.
00:49:28Friends, then.
00:49:30Earlier this week, this author wrote at length
00:49:33about beings from opposing worlds.
00:49:39The draw of two differing desires can be torture at best.
00:49:47This author wonders if perhaps the desire is not the problem.
00:49:54But the world itself.
00:50:17Well, my impersonation of Lady Danbury has been another failure.
00:50:20Perhaps we should leave for home?
00:50:22Hmm.
00:50:26Where has Nicky gone?
00:50:30Run off with Gregory, surely?
00:50:33I'll try to find him.
00:50:46Are you well?
00:50:48Are you?
00:50:50I'm sorry I'm not an Eton boy.
00:50:53Turns out Eton boys are not all that astonishing.
00:50:56But surely that will change.
00:50:58And I do not wish to miss a moment in front of me.
00:51:02And let us make it a decent moment.
00:51:09You ruined it.
00:51:10You ruined it.
00:51:11You must do.
00:51:12Back on track.
00:51:13We're back.
00:51:14We finally know who the new neighbour is.
00:51:17She left a calling card before the recital began.
00:51:19Oh?
00:51:20What is her name?
00:51:22Araminta Gunn.
00:51:23The dowager Lady Penwood.
00:51:26Araminta Gunn is our next-door neighbour.
00:51:27She was here.
00:51:30I'm suddenly feeling poorly.
00:51:32Oh, no.
00:51:33Will you tell Mrs. Wilson I'm going to lie down for a little while?
00:51:38We will take a brief interlude before we begin with the boulanger.
00:51:48Benedict.
00:51:50Please help me.
00:51:53I've simply forgotten something in my room.
00:51:55Whatever is going on between the two of you, it is not appropriate.
00:51:58Mother.
00:52:00Before you chastise me, might I inquire what you are doing with Lord Anderson?
00:52:04You are bedding a man who is not your husband with your children sleeping down the hallway.
00:52:07That is none of my business, but nor is mine yours.
00:52:20Sophie?
00:52:22Sophie, tell me what is wrong.
00:52:23It would be easier to inform you of what is right.
00:52:25Well, that is not an answer.
00:52:26Then I am afraid I shall not give you one.
00:52:28Now, please leave me alone.
00:52:29No, I'm not going anywhere.
00:52:31Not this time.
00:52:32I'm here for you.
00:52:33But I did not ask you to be.
00:52:35Do you not understand that?
00:52:50I did not ask for any of this.
00:52:52I did not ask you to pursue me or to touch me or to kiss me.
00:52:57I did not ask you to show me a world that could never be mine or to let me believe
00:53:01it could be.
00:53:02Each time you show me, it hurts me.
00:53:06You hurt me.
00:53:09So please, let us stop this.
00:53:10I cannot be subjected to more.
00:53:12Sophie, please.
00:53:13I will leave first and no other servants see me.
00:53:15I do not care who sees.
00:53:16All I care about is...
00:53:17Of course you do not care who sees, but when do you stop to think about me?
00:53:19Every moment of every day.
00:53:27There is not a single moment you do not fill my mind.
00:53:32I've heard every qualm you've raised about being with me, and I wish there were some other way for us
00:53:36to be together.
00:53:39But the thought of spending a single day without you torments my soul.
00:53:46You deserve the very world.
00:53:48But how else am I to be with a woman society has made it impossible for me to be with?
00:53:52The woman I was foolish enough to fall in love with?
00:54:00I love you, Sophie.
00:54:08You cannot.
00:54:10No, I cannot.
00:54:12I cannot love a maid.
00:54:14I cannot be with a maid.
00:54:16I cannot think of a maid every waking hour, longing for a life with her.
00:54:20And yet...
00:54:24You have...
00:54:26Taken possession of me.
00:54:29Shot me back to life.
00:54:31Turned me from someone who cannot sit still for a moment to one who wishes to be in one single
00:54:36place.
00:54:37Beside you.
00:54:40For as long as I might live.
00:54:42But you will have to take a wife.
00:54:44Society, your mother, it will be expected eventually.
00:54:47I'm the second son.
00:54:48I'm not even needed as a spare anymore.
00:54:50There is already an heir.
00:54:52I would not marry.
00:54:53I could not look twice at anyone else.
00:54:57If only you would love me back.
00:55:02You will change your mind.
00:55:04Your attention will be drawn elsewhere.
00:55:07You were not that kite in my study.
00:55:12You're the person I've been searching for all my life.
00:55:17I love you.
00:55:20I love you.
00:55:24I love you.
00:55:30Of course, I love you.
00:55:36I love you.
00:55:39I love you.
00:55:42I love you.
00:55:55I love you.
00:55:58I love you.
00:56:01I love you.
00:56:18Is it all right?
00:56:20I want you.
00:56:22I wanted you.
00:56:23I want you.
00:56:45I want you.
00:57:04I want you.
00:57:34Slow it fast, please.
00:57:37I've heard it come out.
00:57:38I want you.
00:57:48I want you.
00:58:03I want you.
00:58:05I want you.
00:58:13I want you.
00:58:25I want you.
00:58:27I want you.
00:58:30I want you.
00:58:41I want you.
00:58:45I want you.
00:58:46I want you.
00:58:50I want you.
00:58:53I want you.
00:58:55I want you.
00:58:57I want you.
00:59:11I want you.
00:59:13I want you.
00:59:18I want you.
00:59:30I want you.
00:59:43I want you.
00:59:44I want you.
00:59:44I want you.
00:59:55I want you.
01:00:13I want you.
01:00:14I want you.
01:00:30I want you.
01:00:38I want you.
