00:00:30Can you send word to someone for me, please?
00:00:33Alfie Burrow.
00:00:34He works under the new Lady Penwood at Penwood House.
00:00:36Your working friend,
00:00:38or anyone who might speak on your behalf,
00:00:40besides the fact that they are unlikely to be believed,
00:00:43if 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
00:00:48faces 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.
00:01:00Take the blanket.
00:01:03If you are convicted,
00:01:06it's life behind bars.
00:01:07At best.
00:01:35Dearest members of the Tarn,
00:01:37Her Majesty the Queen honors you with her generous invitation to attend the event of the season.
00:01:46It shall be as all balls thrown by your queen are,
00:01:51the grandest night of the year.
00:01:57Full of spectacle, glamour, delights, that sort of thing.
00:02:12The season offers some hope, at least, with us in mourning, at least we will not be expected at the
00:02:19Queen's Fall.
00:02:23Apologies, I was simply trying to...
00:02:26Of course, I am relieved.
00:02:28Avoiding events was one of my and John's most favorite shared activities.
00:02:35Oh yes, do note that this is an event in honor of Lady Agatha Danbury.
00:02:41She has chosen to depart from London to go elsewhere.
00:02:51Does it not seem as slight to Lady Danbury?
00:02:55In this part of the text, it's so small.
00:02:59I can hardly read it.
00:03:02Now that the Queen does not have whistled down to antagonize,
00:03:04perhaps she has shifted her animosity.
00:03:08Do you know anything, Ray?
00:03:11About Lady Danbury and the Queen?
00:03:14I cannot say that I do.
00:03:17No.
00:03:19Of course you do not.
00:03:21Ugh.
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.
00:03:50That is because she had that former maid of hers apprehended last night
00:03:54and at this very moment, I believe Lord Stotter may be behind these doors
00:04:02about to propose to Miss Lee.
00:04:06Yes!
00:04:08Yes!
00:04:09Yes!
00:04:09Yes!
00:04:10Yes!
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?
00:04:35I 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 and helped the dowager Lady Penwood find her.
00:05:14But Miss Posey made it clear I was gravely mistaken.
00:05:18This Sophie worked in this house when it was under the dowager's oversight.
00:05:22Yes.
00:05:22But does she have any family?
00:05:24Less words, please.
00:05:26And not who we should speak to.
00:05:39Is that an automated roasting speech?
00:05:45These two have a most urgent matter to discuss with you.
00:05:50Perhaps you could let Hyacinth 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, Fran.
00:06:00No, please do not do that.
00:06:02I am so grateful to all of you for your support and attention, but...
00:06:06I believe that your sister would like us all to act normally,
00:06:09if only for a time.
00:06:10Yes.
00:06:11Thank you.
00:06:13Perhaps we could talk 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.
00:06:27Uh...
00:06:28Forgive me for interrupting.
00:06:30Francesca, um...
00:06:31Um, impressive or not, I 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.
00:06:41She had gone before I could find her.
00:06:42Well, do 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.
00:06:47Oh.
00:06:47I tried to catch her ship, but 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, only she has left us
00:06:56in the middle of the night without saying goodbye.
00:06:58Mom.
00:06:58I am sorry.
00:06:59What?
00:07:00Please 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 just left this morning, there may yet be time.
00:07:06It will be all right.
00:07:08It 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 am so sorry to interrupt, but I have good news and bad news.
00:07:21The good news being, Mr. Bridgerton will not be needing a boat.
00:07:29Someone is here to see you.
00:07:39Hello, Sophie.
00:07:41How rude.
00:07:42You should be grateful the lady has even come to such an undesirable place.
00:07:45Especially 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 for harbouring you.
00:07:58How?
00:07:59A confession.
00:08:01Of course.
00:08:02It would make all this far easier if 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 by confessing to make your life easier.
00:08:21You have always made poor choices.
00:08:25At least now, you 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, and based on the sworn testimony of the dowager
00:08:44Lady Penwood-
00:08:44Sir, please, sir-
00:08:45Miss Beck, I must remind you that you are not to speak.
00:08:49At this time, I have no choice but 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, are you?
00:08:58Benedict Bridgerton.
00:08:59Son to the late Viscount Edmund Bridgerton, and brother to the Viscount Anthony Bridgerton.
00:09:02And brother to the Duke of Hastings.
00:09:05Mr. Bridgerton is a second son.
00:09:07The girl is accused of stealing from a countess.
00:09:09You besmirched my honor over a pair of shoe clips.
00:09:12They must have been tremendously valuable.
00:09:14Sir, Miss Peck has been in my employ for months now, and we can attest, based 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, I urge you all to maintain decorum and act in accordance with your rank and dignity.
00:09:30Lady Penwood, if this family were willing to pay you the cost of your shoe clips,
00:09:34would you retract your accusations against Miss Beck?
00:09:37Yes, we are happy to pay.
00:09:39That will be insufficient, as she also stands accused of impersonating a lady.
00:09:44A lady in a silver dress at the very masquerade ball held by the dowager Lady Bridgerton.
00:09:49I will have justice!
00:09:50Then we shall need time to mount a defense for Miss Beck.
00:09:52What kind of defense can there possibly be, except that she has clearly clouded Mr. Bridgerton's judgment by seducing it?
00:09:57I did no such thing.
00:09:58How dare you imply that my son is-
00:10:00Order!
00:10:01I will have order!
00:10:03Magistrate Burton, we will provide Miss Beck with a barrister.
00:10:06Until then, I wonder if you would be so kind as to save me from distress.
00:10:09She is a lady's maid in my employ, and I cannot manage without her services.
00:10:13I must beg for your aid.
00:10:15Might you release her into my custody until things are set to rights?
00:10:21We would be so grateful that you indulge my poor mother.
00:10:26I will release Miss Beck on bail, on condition that she remain in the Bridgerton household.
00:10:31And you will guarantee she does not leave such household.
00:10:36But, might I suggest, talk with one another.
00:10:40Unless you are able to reach an agreement amongst yourselves, we will meet again in a week's time to determine
00:10:46Miss Beck's fate.
00:10:53There is to be no agreement. She is going to prison.
00:10:56Oh, we shall see about that.
00:10:58What do you think the Queen will say when she finds out you are harboring a criminal?
00:11:02One you allowed to step outside her station and seduce your son?
00:11:06Do you think she will allow you to remain in society?
00:11:10Shall we find out?
00:11:32I cannot thank both of you enough.
00:11:34I am grateful, but you should not have gone to the trouble.
00:11:37I will not hear of it. Why did you not send word to us?
00:11:39Would the constable not let you?
00:11:41No, I thought perhaps I had done enough to push you all the way.
00:11:46Escaping in the night, as I did, I did not wish to burden you any further.
00:11:49Well, it is a good thing we were allowed.
00:11:50You have a great many people who care for you, Sophia. I hope you see that.
00:11:55Our trials are not over, though.
00:11:57If the dowager Lady Penwood does not win her case in court, she may try to win it in public.
00:12:00And if the Queen finds out about your attachment, well, could create a scandal so large
00:12:06that even your leaving for the country would hardly dampen the effects you might have on your younger siblings' prospects.
00:12:10There is no easy solution to that.
00:12:13I am glad you are here, safely with us, Sophie.
00:12:16Welcome home.
00:12:21Your room is all made up and ready, but do let us know if there's anything we have forgotten.
00:12:26I do not understand. My room is upstairs in the servants' quarters.
00:12:29Not anymore.
00:12:30Lady Bridgerton has informed us that you are to be our guest until all this with a trial blows over.
00:12:35Or until you formalise your attachment with Mr. Bridgerton.
00:12:40Why did you not say?
00:12:41They have no attachment, Hazel.
00:12:45Though Lady Bridgerton has made it clear that her son is not to cross this hall to your room for
00:12:50any reason,
00:12:51or you to his.
00:12:52Of course.
00:12:53I have eyes everywhere.
00:12:59Come along, Hazel.
00:13:18How long have you known?
00:13:20I found your necklace in my bedroom last night.
00:13:23The lady in silver, she wore this very same pendant.
00:13:27I never wished to lie to you. I only...
00:13:31I could not stand to think of your disappointment upon learning that the woman you searched for all that time
00:13:36would turn out not to be an enchanting young lady, but...
00:13:40me.
00:13:41The very last thing I feel knowing it was you is disappointment.
00:13:45I spent so much of my life feeling alone in a crowded room.
00:13:52I fell for you at the masquerade because...
00:13:56you saw me?
00:13:59Just me.
00:14:02What kind of a man would I be if I only ever saw you as the lady in silver?
00:14:07And yet, all this time, you did not believe that I could handle the truth.
00:14:13Perhaps because your love for me is not what I thought it was.
00:14:25Benedict.
00:14:28Forgive me.
00:14:29Mrs. Wilson has sent me to keep watch and ensure that both of you keep to your separate rooms.
00:14:35I could use a light hand.
00:14:44We should hope at the very least to keep Sophie out of prison.
00:14:48I hesitate to ask something of you so close to your departure, but in a perfect world?
00:14:54Well, the Queen's blessing of their union might protect us all from a scandal.
00:14:58It is quite the fantastical tale.
00:15:02The maid, the gentleman, in love.
00:15:05And Babs, too fantastical for Her Majesty to accept.
00:15:08The Queen has waged a great deal on Benedict's getting married this season.
00:15:14It is unlikely.
00:15:16But I am happy to try.
00:15:18Also, I believe her father to be of nobility.
00:15:21Well, does that help our case at all?
00:15:24Not if the mother was a maid.
00:15:26Even if Sophie had not been relegated to the position of maid herself, the ton would never accept a gentleman
00:15:32marrying a girl of illegitimate origins.
00:15:36And I am afraid the best they can hope for is to slip quietly away to the countryside together.
00:15:46I can delay my trip.
00:15:48Stay.
00:15:49Make sure that if any scandal erupts that I am here.
00:15:52Agatha.
00:15:52No.
00:15:54It is your time.
00:15:56I appreciate you trying with the Queen, but no.
00:15:59No, you must go.
00:16:01Violet Bridgerton.
00:16:06I will miss you.
00:16:08No.
00:16:09I will miss you too.
00:16:11Very much.
00:16:22May I help you, Miss Beck?
00:16:24Sophie will do, John.
00:16:28Did anyone call for me?
00:16:30No.
00:16:31I do not believe so.
00:16:44You look handsome tonight, John.
00:16:48Are you being quite serious?
00:16:50Of course I am.
00:16:52Because I have not been certain if you are interested.
00:16:56You do have something of a reputation.
00:16:59That was all before I met you.
00:17:06I thought perhaps...
00:17:07I've been trying to figure out how to sneak into yours as well.
00:17:13I was furious when you did not recognise me.
00:17:16I know.
00:17:19I am sorry.
00:17:20I was furious at first.
00:17:22But then I realised it does not matter, Benedict.
00:17:24You have shown me a tremendous amount of love.
00:17:27More than I have felt in a very long time.
00:17:29And my inability to believe in it.
00:17:33The only other person in my life I was sure loved me was my father.
00:17:36He was the sixth Earl of Penwood.
00:17:39Richard Gunn.
00:17:40He promised he would always take care of me and I trusted that.
00:17:44I trusted his love.
00:17:46But after his death it became clear that I had been mistaken in both cases.
00:17:50Is it because of him you became a maid?
00:17:54He provided nothing for me in his will.
00:17:57Araminta made that very clear.
00:17:59Did you see this will for yourself?
00:18:02No, I did not wish to be further crushed.
00:18:08Sophie, it is clear that woman despises you.
00:18:14From the very day she met me.
00:18:16What reason would you have to believe her about your father?
00:18:22I...
00:18:25I do not know.
00:18:28I simply believed her.
00:18:32Believed that my father would have forgotten me.
00:18:37Believed that the love I felt in my head was made up from the beginning.
00:18:40Believed that I should not expect you to recognise me or love me or commit to me.
00:18:45Sophie.
00:18:47Of course I love you.
00:18:51Do you believe me now?
00:18:54I did not help. I should never have asked you to be my mistress.
00:18:57I am forever sorry.
00:18:59Last night I came back here for a reason.
00:19:01To ask you the question I should have asked you all along.
00:19:04Do not.
00:19:06Not now.
00:19:07I have my family's blessing, Sophie.
00:19:12Not with the trial hanging over us.
00:19:15Your family's reputation at stake. Let us wait.
00:19:21I love you.
00:19:23I love you, Benedict.
00:19:58Will you join me?
00:20:00Will you join me?
00:20:29¡Gracias!
00:20:43Música
00:21:09We cannot risk
00:21:11Then we will not
00:21:19Turn around
00:21:53Música
00:22:21You do not have to do that anymore
00:22:23Miss Bridgerton, I hope you are not cross with me
00:22:25Oh, I am positively outraged
00:22:30The most interesting thing ever to happen in my home
00:22:32Happened right under my nose
00:22:33And I 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
00:22:43Getting into Penwood House
00:22:47I am delighted you have come to call
00:22:49A little surprised
00:22:51But 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
00:23:01That should occupy us for a good many minutes
00:23:03I am all ears
00:23:06I had heard you repainted with pink
00:23:10And I wanted to tell you how splendid it looked
00:23:12It is so
00:23:14It is so
00:23:14You
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
00:23:28And 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
00:23:42I know that Lady Danby was not optimistic
00:23:45But I am certain everything will work out
00:23:48We will find a way
00:23:50We always do
00:23:55So
00:23:57Sophie was the lady in silver
00:23:59Well
00:23:59I think the Earl of Penwood's daughter
00:24:01Deserved to attend a ball at some point
00:24:03Hmm
00:24:07If we survive this chapter
00:24:08What if I cannot do it?
00:24:12Moving permanently to the countryside
00:24:15Being a husband
00:24:16Do you doubt your feelings 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
00:24:49In fairness, I have mostly forgotten that girl myself
00:24:54What was she like?
00:24:56She was impulsive
00:24:58Passionate
00:24:59Wild
00:25:01Carefree
00:25:01Filled 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
00:25:14You are my son
00:25:16Through 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
00:25:32Then 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
00:25:45In her own right
00:25:49She was
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 the 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
00:27:04I find it most difficult to believe that you came here today to
00:27:08Complement my taste in colours
00:27:10Why?
00:27:12Can a young lady not simply wish to discuss the colour pink?
00:27:15I know why you are truly here
00:27:20You have finally succumbed to the mania
00:27:24The marriage mania
00:27:26It is clear you are at last imagining what it would be like to have a husband one day
00:27:31And you wish to know what it is like
00:27:32Oh
00:27:34Yes
00:27:35I am quite overcome with the madness
00:27:40It was difficult last season
00:27:42Not having a shared dream for the future between us
00:27:44I 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
00:27:54And what else was I supposed to do in Wales?
00:27:59She has some good ideas
00:28:00The 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
00:28:22Well done
00:28:27This is the one
00:28:37Richard Gunn
00:28:38The sixth cell of Penwood
00:28:42He bequeaths an additional four thousand pounds to 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
00:28:54So of that
00:28:56What is it?
00:29:01I can see that marriage has been of great benefit to you
00:29:04At the very least it has had the power to give me the drawing room of my dreams
00:29:09It is quite an improvement on Cowper House, is it not?
00:29:13You never belonged in that house
00:29:15Or with your parents
00:29:18I should like to apologise
00:29:19All that business with you nearly having to marry a man three times your age last season
00:29:25I was far too self-interested, really
00:29:29To appreciate how difficult that must have been
00:29:31And how much your success on the marriage mark mattered to you
00:29:37Thank you
00:29:40And all is well
00:29:41Everything has worked out exactly as it should
00:29:46It 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 for gossip these days?
00:30:01I do not care about shoe clips
00:30:03Or maids
00:30:05No matter what I may think of the dowager Lady Penwood
00:30:08If the magistrate sees fit to charge the girl
00:30:12So be it
00:30:13The dowager
00:30:16Also means to impress upon your majesty
00:30:20That this maid seduced a gentleman
00:30:25Benedict Bridgerton
00:30:27The most eligible suitor of the season
00:30:31Seduced by a maid
00:30:36Is it true?
00:30:37No, it is not true
00:30:40She did not have to seduce him because he loves her
00:30:45Against all reason and expectation
00:30:48They have formed an attachment
00:30:50She saved his life in the countryside
00:30:53And he fell for her as she nursed him back to health
00:30:56A man once thought never able to commit
00:30:59Moved by the simple grace and beauty
00:31:01Of a girl of humble origins
00:31:04Your majesty
00:31:05You were right all along
00:31:07Benedict Bridgerton
00:31:09Is ready for marriage after all
00:31:14It is unfortunate
00:31:15I was right all along
00:31:17Cast in my wager
00:31:19But I will lose still
00:31:21Your majesty
00:31:22Benedict Bridgerton cannot marry a maid, can he?
00:31:27I had hoped we could make one last great match together, Lady Danbury
00:31:31It is a shame for us to go out on a loss
00:31:35Tell me, Brinsley, how is the ball coming along?
00:31:39Extremely well, your majesty
00:31:46What do you know about what is going on with Benedict Bridgerton?
00:31:50You've been spending a great deal of time together this season
00:31:52What do you know?
00:31:54You know something
00:31:55You have been withholding from me
00:31:57If you know I've been withholding something
00:31:59Then you have been withholding something as well
00:32:05All I know, there is a lower class girl
00:32:06Someone he knows he should not be with
00:32:08It is a maid at Bridgerton House
00:32:10I overheard them
00:32:11They are in love
00:32:12And the dowager Lady Penwood is trying to send her to prison
00:32:16This morning, I spent four hours helping the Queen decide on florals for her ball
00:32:23Yesterday, there was a debate over whether the Pomeranian should be shaved to resemble lions
00:32:28The day before that
00:32:29Alice
00:32:31We can move to the country if you're unhappy with your position
00:32:34No, no, we cannot
00:32:36One does not simply walk away from the Queen
00:32:38And I do not wish to
00:32:40But I wish to do something of meaning, Will
00:32:41Lady Danbury helped the Queen reshape our society
00:32:44I am decorating
00:32:47I'm not even decorating
00:32:49I am saying yes or no while the servants decorate
00:32:52You and I, we were given this life out of thin air
00:32:57And it has been wonderful
00:32:59And we are enjoying ourselves at last
00:33:01But I should like to help others enjoy it as well
00:33:04If I involve myself in trying to help this maid
00:33:07Either it will finally earn me the Queen's close confidence
00:33:10Or it will ruin this family
00:33:12I should like to do it either way
00:33:15You have my full support then
00:33:23She hasn't been gone that long, Reverend Diggs
00:33:28Oh, Mrs. Mhundred
00:33:29Good day
00:33:30Alice, unfortunately now is not an ideal time
00:33:32Yes, I know
00:33:33Lady Danbury had little success with the Queen
00:33:35But I have an idea for another approach
00:33:48My mother and I have been so worried for you
00:33:50Forgive me, the new Lady Penwood insisted on Miss Bridgerton staying for tea
00:33:53How did it go?
00:33:56I saw my father's will
00:33:59What is it?
00:34:00My father
00:34:03He kept his promise
00:34:06I was seeing Rosamund myself
00:34:10He left us each an equal portion dowry
00:34:14He loved me
00:34:19Of course he did
00:34:21How could anyone not?
00:34:26You were not going to prison
00:34:29The dowager Lady Penwood stole your dowry
00:34:31That makes her a liar and a thief
00:34:33She has not already spent at all
00:34:35I have a dowry
00:34:37It still does not make me legitimate
00:34:39To an appropriate match for a gentleman
00:34:40I do not care about the money
00:34:41And I do not care about whether you are appropriate or not
00:34:44Mrs. Mondrich came to call
00:34:46She is one of the Queen's ladies-in-waiting
00:34:50She has a plan to help us
00:34:52What is it?
00:34:54We will have to find you a dress
00:34:56Because you are going to the Queen's Ball tomorrow
00:35:07It is a game for two
00:35:10Forgive me
00:35:11It is my family
00:35:13There is a scandal brewing
00:35:15A scandal?
00:35:18Do you tell?
00:35:23Benedict, my brother
00:35:26Is in love with a maid
00:35:29My family, we are all supporting them
00:35:32But everyone else in the town
00:35:33Will surely be up in arms if they find out
00:35:35Which I confess does feel rather trivial
00:35:37Compared to
00:35:45Now
00:35:46Is when you choose to hold your tongue
00:35:50I am only surprised
00:35:52Your family is surprising
00:35:56I would not blame you for distancing yourself from us
00:35:59From me
00:36:00No, I meant surprising in a good way
00:36:04Love does not always look how one expects
00:36:06I imagine
00:36:07I am not one to judge the happiness of others
00:36:12I am relieved to hear you say so
00:36:18I had hoped
00:36:19If you were not concerned by our continued association
00:36:23That you might consider staying here in London
00:36:26Until a new heir is found
00:36:28I am here
00:36:29I know
00:36:31But I suppose I am feeling
00:36:34A suspense
00:36:35About when you might leave again
00:36:37As you so rarely stay in one place for long
00:36:39You are the only other person who truly understands
00:36:45If you would like it
00:36:46I shall stay
00:36:49It would mean a great deal to me
00:36:52I feel very close to you, Michaela
00:36:56As do I
00:37:14Look what one of the maids helped me rescue from the bin
00:37:17Slightly rumpled
00:37:18But I think it gives it character, no?
00:37:22You need not have bothered
00:37:24Ah
00:37:25I take it you are still planning not to debut
00:37:32I must say
00:37:34I think that would be a mistake
00:37:35You cannot be serious
00:37:39After you incessantly mocked my lesson
00:37:41In my defence
00:37:43They were extremely mockable
00:37:45I thought you would be thrilled
00:37:48Now you are not to grow old alone
00:37:49We can be spinsters together
00:37:57As wonderful as that sounds
00:37:59I know it's not genuinely what you want
00:38:04It is alright to be frightened
00:38:06What happened to John
00:38:07It is beyond awful
00:38:09It frightens me too more than I care to admit
00:38:11Some things are out of our control
00:38:13But what is in our control
00:38:15Is our ability to support one another
00:38:17And ensure that we do not allow fear
00:38:19To keep us from experiencing something
00:38:21That could be truly special
00:38:22Now you are a proponent of marriage
00:38:24Proponent is far too strong a word
00:38:27But after spending a season by your side
00:38:29I can see that on occasion
00:38:31Marriage might have its advantages
00:38:34Companionship
00:38:35Family
00:38:37A prime seat at a soiree
00:38:39And then
00:38:40If not for mother and father's marriage
00:38:43We would not all have each other
00:38:45Which seems a rather large reward
00:38:48Most of the time anyway
00:38:49I suppose your points have some merit
00:38:56Though if
00:38:58I am to one day find the right husband
00:39:01I think I should like to get to know myself better first
00:39:06An excellent plan
00:39:27The season will not be the same without you, Lady Danbury
00:39:30Well, I have no doubt you will still find ways of enjoying yourselves
00:39:35You will be missed greatly
00:39:38By the Queen, most of all
00:39:47Well, here's to us
00:39:59Tonight is our night, Rosamund
00:40:01Let us greet Lord Stotter
00:40:03And then we shall speak to the Queen
00:40:05And settle the matter of Sophie
00:40:11We can do this
00:40:13We can do this
00:40:15Are we certain we can do this?
00:40:17Would it not be better to wait until we see the magistrate?
00:40:19We'll be too late by then if we'd allow you to get to the Queen tonight
00:40:22Mrs. Mondridge will arrange everything
00:40:26You will just have to tuck in close as we sneak you in
00:40:30Hopefully, last time
00:40:34Your party
00:40:36Violet Bridgerton
00:40:37The dowager lady Bridgerton
00:40:40Yes, plus three
00:40:41Something like that
00:40:42Yes, so many children
00:40:48Bridgertons, come with me
00:40:56Wait, what are we meant to do now then?
00:40:58Well, it's strange not to be at the very centre of scandal for once
00:41:01Let us enjoy it then
00:41:04May I have this dance?
00:41:05Yes
00:41:16Miss Posey
00:41:19Miss Bridgerton
00:41:21Oh, no
00:41:22I am
00:41:24I do not know if you know, but I was not part of
00:41:26No, I 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 what you do
00:41:38A friend of mine has a mother not too dissimilar to yours
00:41:40And that friend has done very well for herself now
00:41:43Truly
00:41:51You have the interest of Lord Barnaby
00:41:54He does ask me to dance from time to time
00:41:57But my mother's efforts are concentrated on my sister this season
00:42:04Oh, I should not let her dictate the matters of my heart like that
00:42:10Lord Barnaby is most eligible
00:42:12And your mother and sister are occupied
00:42:20Very well
00:42:31Miss Posey
00:42:33Will you at last accept my offer of a dance?
00:42:43Lady Penwood
00:42:45You are being summoned
00:42:47Am I being summoned by the Queen?
00:42:51It was easier than I thought
00:42:57Come along, Posey
00:42:59Now
00:43:02Excuse me
00:43:12What is this?
00:43:14I thought the Queen was to join us
00:43:15I believe you will be glad she is elsewhere for the moment
00:43:19Sophie
00:43:19Ma, what is she doing here?
00:43:23Seven years
00:43:26Seven long years I spent serving you in my own home
00:43:29I asked you the day you kicked me out why you kept me so long
00:43:32And I know now it was never out of any goodness
00:43:35But only because my father promised you an extra stipend for every year you kept me on
00:43:39But you were never meant to keep me on as a maid
00:43:41How did you know that?
00:43:43I saw the will
00:43:43And I also saw that my father left 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 that what you have promised Lord Stutter
00:43:56Is double what you have told Posey she is to receive
00:43:58Doubled by the embezzlement of my portion
00:44:00This is preposterous
00:44:02How dare you accuse my mother of such a thing
00:44:0418,000 pounds
00:44:10What is yours?
00:44:14Did you not believe my beauty and charm were enough on their own to make a match?
00:44:19You believed I needed 36,000 pounds
00:44:21This is all beside the point
00:44:22She stole from me
00:44:24I was the one who stole the shoe clips, Mama
00:44:29It is not about the shoe clips
00:44:33The money for your dowry
00:44:34It was our money
00:44:36It should have been our money
00:44:37But you stole it from us
00:44:38You stole him from us
00:44:42My girls needed a father
00:44:43They 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 of your daughters
00:44:57Both of them
00:44:58Do not take it for granted
00:45:00Trust me, it serves no one
00:45:04Richard was a good man
00:45:06But he lived in a dream world
00:45:08He thrust his greatest mistake upon me
00:45:10With no notice or warning
00:45:11And left me
00:45:12To face the consequences
00:45:13Of harboring an illegitimate child
00:45:14I have done nothing
00:45:16But tried to protect both 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
00:45:26Talking about her
00:45:31There's still the matter of you impersonating her ability
00:45:33Oh, that I think we can settle ourselves
00:45:36As you have committed a far greater crime
00:45:39Embezzlement of a dowry
00:45:40Dishonouring the late Earl'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 to a more mutually beneficial recounting of events
00:46:15It is a beautiful evening
00:46:17Yes
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, Benedict Bridgerton
00:46:31Is in love with
00:46:32She is here
00:46:35What do you mean, she is here?
00:46:37I have arranged for her to be here
00:46:38So that you might see
00:46:39What is between her and Mr. Bridgerton
00:46:41Because I believe
00:46:42If you were to witness it in person
00:46:43You will see the love they show
00:46:45No
00:46:45Mrs. Mondridge
00:46:47Get her out of here
00:46:48Oh, Your Majesty
00:46:49Your Majesty
00:46:51I will not
00:46:55Once upon a time
00:46:57There were royals living in a palace
00:46:59Who wished for you to go away
00:47:00But you stayed
00:47:01And you are the most fascinating woman
00:47:04To have sat on the throne
00:47:05In a very long time
00:47:06You are a patron of music
00:47:08Of the arts
00:47:10You have zebras in your gardens
00:47:12And you love gossip
00:47:13You are a woman of many interests
00:47:15But you are missing the largest portion
00:47:18Of what is amusing in the world
00:47:19By ignoring those of the lower classes
00:47:20Because with all respect to you, Lady Danbury
00:47:23Not every maid is humble
00:47:24Or graceful
00:47:25Or simple
00:47:26The woman Benedict Bridgerton
00:47:28Is in love with
00:47:30A woman capable of making that man settle down
00:47:33That woman is sure to be full of vim and vigour
00:47:36A spitfire so full of life
00:47:38That she has a countess
00:47:39Setting foot in a prison
00:47:40Because she is so obsessed with this woman
00:47:42Your Majesty
00:47:44You are missing all the good gossip
00:47:57That is too far
00:47:58I will not do it
00:47:58You will
00:47:59And you will retreat to your country estate
00:48:01For the remainder of the season
00:48:03Well, Mr. Bridgerton
00:48:06I am told you are in love
00:48:09Yes, Your Majesty
00:48:14May I present Miss Sophie Gunn
00:48:19Gunn?
00:48:21As in the late Lord Penwood
00:48:23She is the daughter of his cousin
00:48:25Were you not just saying
00:48:26How much they resembled each other, Lady Penwood?
00:48:35I was
00:48:36She has spent most of her life in the country
00:48:38And has only just come to town
00:48:41I thought you said
00:48:42I was mistaken, Your Majesty
00:49:02Do you speak?
00:49:04Yes, Your Majesty
00:49:05Is what they say true?
00:49:08That you are a relation of the late Earl
00:49:15I can say with complete conviction, Your Majesty
00:49:18That I am by birth and by education
00:49:20A daughter of Penwood House
00:49:31You would have made a wonderful diamond
00:49:37Very well, then
00:49:39Was there something of interest
00:49:41About 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
00:50:02My cousins, then
00:50:15We're cousins, then
00:50:19We are sisters
00:50:20I think young Violet
00:50:26Would be quite impressed by you today
00:50:29I think she would
00:50:35That was quite a risk you took
00:50:37Yes, Your Majesty
00:50:39You're lucky I went along with it
00:50:41Yes, Your Majesty
00:50:43Run along
00:50:48Did you hear?
00:50:54Apparently Lord Stotter is not content with Miss Lee's now inadequate dowry
00:50:59Well, he has always been known to be a fortune hunter
00:51:01Miss Lee is not my favourite
00:51:02But I imagine the family rather needed one of the girls to make a match this season
00:51:10Something tells me all will be well
00:51:24Varley, what are you doing here?
00:51:27Oh, my lady, forgive me for coming so late
00:51:29I hope you've not come to bed for your position back, Varley
00:51:32Because if you have
00:51:33I'm afraid I must tell you that we are more than satisfied with Ray
00:51:37No, certainly not
00:51:38I am headed to the country for a new position
00:51:42And I have come for some of my things before I leave town
00:51:45I left behind a few books in my rush to depart
00:51:51Did we not tease Penelope about her reading together?
00:51:54I do not remember you picking up a single book
00:51:57Well, I also came for an apology
00:51:58I never got one
00:52:00An apology?
00:52:01From me?
00:52:02About what?
00:52:03For taking me for granted
00:52:04For treating me like family
00:52:06And then working me like a dog
00:52:07And paying me worse than that
00:52:09I think that is highly unfair
00:52:11You will not be getting an apology from me
00:52:15Very well
00:52:22Perhaps
00:52:24Perhaps
00:52:26I could possibly be apologetic about
00:52:31One or two things
00:52:38Those, uh, dresses that I offered you
00:52:43They were clearly out of season
00:52:45I should have found you something nicer
00:52:49Or paid you more
00:52:52That will do
00:52:54I forgive you
00:52:55Oh, Varley
00:52:57I have missed you
00:52:59Oh, I cannot begin to tell you
00:53:00That Penwood woman
00:53:02She made work in here seem like a holiday
00:53:04I was only going to the countryside
00:53:05Because she came home tonight in a foul mood
00:53:07And dismissed me
00:53:08Dismissed you?
00:53:09What sort of a fool would do such a thing?
00:53:15Well, we cannot have you going to the countryside
00:53:18Oh, but you have Ray
00:53:19Yes
00:53:20But
00:53:21It is a very large house
00:53:25Mr. Cosmet
00:53:28Yes, he has formed an attachment
00:53:29Miss Sophie Gunn
00:53:31A relation of the late Lord Penwood
00:53:53Miss Gunn
00:53:55May I have your first dance?
00:54:00You may, Mr. Bridgerton
00:54:03You may, Mr. Bridgerton
00:54:04You may, Mr. Bridgerton
00:54:27You may, Mr. Bridgerton
00:54:34Maybe, Mr. aberrant
00:54:36One
00:54:36Well, it is a life
00:54:36Very special
00:54:46Be great
00:54:47But
00:54:48You may, Mr. Bridgerton
00:54:49You may, Mr. Bridgerton
00:54:49Why, Mr. Bridgerton
00:54:54Mine
00:54:54You may, Mr. Bridgerton
00:54:57Come on
00:54:57We were
00:54:57And
00:54:59Was that not absurd?
00:55:02It was a truly mad plan.
00:55:06She's certainly full of new energy, that Mrs. Mondridge.
00:55:09Though I do not know if her plan worked because she planned it well
00:55:13or because of the sheer lack of a plan.
00:55:15Well, she was right about one thing.
00:55:17You do enjoy being amused.
00:55:21Ha ha!
00:55:25Oh, God.
00:55:28Ridiculous.
00:55:29It is the best thing to happen all season.
00:55:31No.
00:55:32The best thing to happen all season is that you are sure to win your wager with Mrs. Bridgerton.
00:55:39Oh.
00:55:40Oh, yes.
00:55:42The bet shall be settled.
00:55:46Ha ha ha!
00:55:48Ha ha ha!
00:55:50Ha ha ha!
00:55:51Ha ha ha!
00:55:55That was fun, Lady Damprey.
00:55:58Hmm.
00:56:02Hmm.
00:56:06We have such fun together.
00:56:10Yes, we do.
00:56:13I've missed you.
00:56:19Oh, oh, brother.
00:56:23My command is to stop.
00:56:27To stop.
00:56:40How does it feel to be officially recognized as a penwood?
00:56:44Strange.
00:56:45But good.
00:56:46Would you mind if I cut it short, then?
00:56:48Because I would very much like to make you a Bridgerton.
00:57:01Oh.
00:57:06Will you marry me?
00:57:10Yes.
00:57:11Yes, I will.
00:57:13Ha ha ha!
00:57:13Yes, I will.
00:57:15Yes, I will.
00:57:17Yes, I will.
00:57:19Yes, I will.
00:57:19Yes, I will.
00:57:20Yes, I will.
00:57:21Yes, I will.
00:57:22Yes, I will.
00:57:23Yes, I will.
00:57:29Yes, I will.
00:57:30Yes, I will.
00:57:38Yes, I will.
00:57:39No, no, no, no.
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?
00:58:22Something 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 am not aware of.
00:58:48One I should be made aware of.
00:58:51I have been hesitant because of my children.
00:58:54Because 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 win, then I would lose that opportunity.
00:59:23And yet I do not want to lose you either.
00:59:26I do not understand, then.
00:59:28Oh, would it not?
00:59:31Could we not continue as we are?
00:59:37Seeing one another.
00:59:39Still having our independence.
00:59:46Violet, I want so much for your happiness.
00:59:50But I want for my own as well.
00:59:52Our time together has been a gift.
00:59:54I 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.
01:00:27Have 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?
01:00:42She'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?
01:01:18I 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 reader, we are going to have so much fun.
01:03:45Dear reader, we are going to have so much fun.
01:03:47I'm going to have so much fun.
01:04:17No, no, no, no.
01:04:47In 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.
01:05:03Whose wedding do you think we will be attending next?
01:05:06Oh, I do love a wedding.
01:05:07All the best people in the same place.
01:05:11As an attendee.
01:05:16Do you think I'll ever do it again?
01:05:18Me?
01:05:19A wedding?
01:05:20No.
01:05:21I have had my great love.
01:05:22One time is enough.
01:05:51Do you think I'll ever do it again?
01:06:12I have had my great love.
01:06:21Sophie.
01:06:24Benedict.
01:06:26Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God and in the faith.
