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.
00:01:34The best.
00:01:37The best.
00:01:39The best.
00:01:42The best.
00:01:52night of the year, full of spectacle, glamour, delights, that sort of thing.
00:02:05Your presence is requested, your style is required, your absence without reason will
00:02:12be 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...
00:02:26Of course, I am relieved.
00:02:28Avoiding 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 is so small, I can hardly read it.
00:03:01Now that the Queen does not have whistled down to antagonise, perhaps she has shifted her
00:03:06animosity.
00:03:08Do you know anything, Beth, about 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.
00:03:49That is because she had that former maid of hers apprehended last night, and at this very
00:03:56moment, I believe Lord Stotter may be behind these doors, about to propose to Miss Lee.
00:04:07Yes!
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.
00:04:23Concordia.
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.
00:05:17This Sophie worked in this house when 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 to 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, but...
00:06:06I believe that your sister would like us all to act normally, if only for her time.
00:06:10Yes.
00:06:12Perhaps 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.
00:06:27Er...
00:06:28Forgive me for interrupting.
00:06:31Francesca, erm...
00:06:32Erm...
00:06:32Impressive or not, I should like to see that ribbon collection.
00:06:35Come along.
00:06:35You 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.
00:06:42Well, 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.
00:06:47I tried to catch her ship, but there were two leaving at once and I could not find her in
00:06:50the 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 in the middle of the night
00:06:57without saying goodbye.
00:06:58Mom.
00:06:58I am sorry.
00:06:59What?
00:06:59Please do not write about this.
00:07:00I am no longer Lady Whistledart.
00:07:01I cannot lose her to the Americas.
00:07:03I need to know how one might charter a boat.
00:07:04If she just left this morning, there may yet be time.
00:07:06It will be alright.
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.
00:07:40How 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, your public humiliation, any possible damage to the Bridgerton household for harboring 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 Lady Penwood-
00:08:44Sir, please, I-
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, son to the late Viscount Edmund Bridgerton and 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 count-
00:09:09You besmirched my honour over a pair of shoe clips.
00:09:11They 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, that
00:09:18these 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.
00:09:29Lady Penwood, if this family were willing to pay you the cost of your shoe clips, would you retract your
00:09:36accusations against Miss Peck?
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 defence for Miss Peck.
00:09:52What kind of defence can there possibly be, except that she has clearly clouded Mr. Bridgerton's judgement by seducing it.
00:09:57I don't know such a thing.
00:09:58How dare you imply that my son is-
00:10:00Order! I will have order!
00:10:03Magistrate Burton, we will provide Miss Peck 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 Peck on bail, on condition that she remain in the Bridgerton household.
00:10:31And you will guarantee she does not leave such household.
00:10:35But might I suggest, talk with one another.
00:10:40Unless you are able to reach an agreement amongst yourselves,
00:10:43we will meet again in a week's time to determine Miss Peck'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 harbouring 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. I 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.
00:11:48Well, it is a good thing we were alert.
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're 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.
00:12:25I 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.
00:12:39Why 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.
00:13:29I 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.
00:13:46I 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?
00:14:06And 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 arm.
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 that 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, perhaps, 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 to...
00:15:52Agatha.
00:15:52No.
00:15:54It is your time.
00:15:55I appreciate you trying with the Queen, but no.
00:15:59No, you must go.
00:16:00Violet 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 in this bed?
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 have 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.
00:17:18I 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.
00:17:32The 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.
00:18:10Sophie, 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...
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.
00:19:04You do not.
00:19:06Not now.
00:19:07I have my family's blessing, Sophie.
00:19:12Not with the trial hanging over us.
00:19:14Your family's reputation at stake let us wait.
00:19:21I love you.
00:19:23I love you, Benedict.
00:19:42I love you.
00:19:58Will you join me?
00:20:02You, Benedict.
00:20:22I love you, Benedict.
00:20:23I love you, Benedict.
00:20:24I love you.
00:20:28What's your name?
00:20:29I older.

00:21:57PIANO PLAYS
00:22:27PIANO PLAYS
00:22:29But the most interesting thing ever to happen in my home happened right under my nose and I was blind
00:22:34to it the entire time.
00:22:38Good. Because I would like to ask you a favour.
00:22:41I would like your help getting into Penwood House.
00:22:47I'm delighted you've come to call. A little surprised, but delighted.
00:22:53I'm 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.
00:23:06I had heard you repaint it with pink and I wanted to tell you how splendid it looked.
00:23:12It is so... you.
00:23:20Alfie! What are you doing here?
00:23:22My father's will. I believe it... I believe it is in the study.
00:23:27Araminta 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.
00:23:41Apologies.
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. We always do.
00:23:56So, Sophie was the lady in silver.
00:23:59Well, I think the Earl of Penwood's daughter deserved to attend a ball at some point.
00:24:03Hmm?
00:24:07If we survive this chapter, what 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.
00:24:30Well, maybe I have been hard on you at times, but 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 than they do imagining their mother as a
00:24:48youth.
00:24:49In fairness, I have mostly forgotten that girl myself.
00:24:54What was she like?
00:24:56She was impulsive, passionate, wild, carefree, filled 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.
00:25:09Anthony is just like your father.
00:25:13But you, you are my son.
00:25:16Through and through.
00:25:18What happened to her?
00:25:20I fell in love.
00:25:22A love that made all my wild rebellion grow quiet and 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.
00:25:45In her own right.
00:25:49She was.
00:25:51She was.
00:26:04She was.
00:26:05She was.
00:26:05What happened to her?
00:26:05She's.
00:26:13I 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 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
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
00:27:25It's 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 will not stop talking about her last season
00:27:54And er
00:27:55What 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
00:28:10I am starting to see that
00:28:22Well done
00:28:27This is the one
00:28:37Richard Gunn
00:28:38The sixth soul of Penwood
00:28:42He bequeaths an additional ยฃ4,000 to Araminta for every year she houses me
00:28:47Oh my goodness
00:28:48That's why she kept you on
00:28:49She was profiting off you
00:28:54Sophie
00:28:55What 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
00:29:20All 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
00:29:50After all that
00:29:53The shoe clips turned out
00:29:55To be fake
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
00:30:11So be it
00:30:14The dowager
00:30:16Also means to impress upon your majesty
00:30:20That this maid seduced a gentleman
00:30:25Benedict Bridgerton
00:30:28The most eligible suitor 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 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
00:30:55A man once thought never able to commit
00:30:59Moved by the simple grace and beauty
00:31:01Of a girl of humble origins
00:31:03Your 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
00:31:17Casting my wager
00:31:19But I will lose still
00:31:21Your majesty
00:31:22Benedict Bridgerton cannot marry a maid
00:31:25Can he?
00:31:27I had hoped we could make one last great match together
00:31:30Lady Danbury
00:31:31It is a shame for us to go out on a loss
00:31:34Tell me, Brinsley
00:31:36How 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?
00:31:53You 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
00:32:05There is a lower class girl
00:32:06Someone he knows he 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 Lady Penwood
00:32:13Is trying to send her to prison
00:32:16This morning
00:32:17I spent four hours
00:32:19Helping the queen decide on florals for her ball
00:32:23Yesterday
00:32:24There was a debate over whether
00:32:25The Pomeranian should be shaved to resemble lions
00:32:27The day before that
00:32:28Alice
00:32:31We can move to the country
00:32:32If you're unhappy with your position
00:32:33No
00:32:34No, we cannot
00:32:36One does not simply walk away from the queen
00:32:38And I do not wish to
00:32:39But 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
00:32:53We 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, Alan Diggs
00:33:28Oh, we say some hundred
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
00:33:49Forgive me, the new lady Penwood insisted on Miss Bridget and staying for tea
00:33:54How did it go?
00:33:56I saw my father's will
00:33:59Well, what is it?
00:34:00My father
00:34:03He kept his promise
00:34:06Posey, Rosamond, myself
00:34:10He left a seat in 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
00:34:38An 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 were to 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?
00:37:21You need not have bothered
00:37:24Ah
00:37:25I take it you are still planning not to debut
00:37:32I must say
00:37:33I 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
00:37:44I thought you would be thrilled
00:37:48Now you are not to grow old alone
00:37:49We can be Spencers 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
00:38:08It frightens me too more than I care to admit
00:38:11Some things are out of our control
00:38:13What 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
00:39:05An excellent plan
00:39:27The season will not be the same without you, Lady Dan
00:39:30Well, I have no doubt you will still find ways of enjoying yourselves
00:39:36You will be missed greatly
00:39:38By the Queen, most of all
00:39:47Well, he'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
00:40:04And 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?
00:40:19So, it may be too late by then
00:40:20If the dowager gets to the Queen tonight
00:40:21Mrs Mondridge will arrange everything
00:40:26You will just have to tuck in close as we sneak you in
00:40:30Hopefully
00:40:31Last time
00:40:35Your party
00:40:36Violet Bridgerton
00:40:37The dowager lady
00:40:39Bridgerton
00:40:40Yes, plus three
00:40:42Something like that
00:40:42Yes, so many children
00:40:47Bridgertons
00:40:48Come 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?
00:41:16Miss Posey
00:41:18Miss Bridgerton
00:41:21Oh, no
00:41:22I am
00:41:23I 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
00:41:50You 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
00:42:13And 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
00:42:44Lady Penwood
00:42:45You are being summoned
00:42:47Am I being summoned by the Queen?
00:42:51It's easier than 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 was to join us
00:43:15I believe you will be glad she is elsewhere for the moment
00:43:18Sophie?
00:43:19Ma, what is she doing here?
00:43:30Ma, what is she doing here?
00:43:37Ma, what is she doing here?
00:44:04How do you deserve such a thing?
00:44:04ยฃ18,000
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 ยฃ36,000
00:44:21This is all beside the point
00:44:22She stole from me
00:44:23I 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
00:44:35It 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
00:44:43They 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 to face the consequences of harbouring an illegitimate child
00:45:14I have done nothing but tried to protect both of my girls
00:45:18Mama
00:45:19We've never been in jeopardy because of Sophie
00:45:25And I am tired of talking about her
00:45:31It's still the matter of you impersonating nobility
00:45:33Oh, that I think we can settle ourselves
00:45:36As you have committed a far greater crime
00:45:38Embezzlement 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
00:45:57Recounting of events
00:46:14Yes
00:46:16It 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
00:46:28Mrs Mondridge
00:46:29Your Majesty, I have prepared something for you
00:46:30The maid Benedict Bridgerton is in love with
00:46:32She is here
00:46:35What do you mean she is here?
00:46:36I have arranged for her to be here
00:46:38So that you might see what is between her and Mr Bridgerton
00:46:40Because I believe if 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
00:46:49Perhaps
00:46:49Your Majesty
00:46:51I will not
00:46:55Once upon a time
00:46:57There were royals living in a palace who wished for you to go away
00:47:00But you stayed
00:47:01And you are the most fascinating woman to have sat on the throne in 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 of 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 or graceful or simple
00:47:26The woman Benedict Bridgerton is 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 that she has a countess setting 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, I will not do it
00:47:58You will
00:47:59And you will retreat to your country estate for the remainder of the season
00:48:02Well, 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
00:48:24Were you not just saying how much they resembled each other, Lady Penwood?
00:48:35I was
00:48:36She has spent most of her life in the country and has only just come to town
00:48:40I thought you said
00:48:41I was mistaken, Your Majesty
00:49:02Do you speak?
00:49:04Yes, Your Majesty
00:49:05Is what they say true?
00:49:08But 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 a daughter of Penwood House
00:49:30You would have made a wonderful diamond
00:49:36Very well then
00:49:39Was there something of interest about shoe clips?
00:49:43No, Your Majesty
00:49:45I do not believe so
00:49:46I think there was
00:49:48But carry on
00:50:00We're cousins then
00:50:00We can decide toใฌ
00:50:16we're cousins then
00:50:19we are sisters
00:50:24I think young Violet
00:50:25would 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
00:50:51did you hear
00:50:53apparently Lord Stotter is not content
00:50:55with Miss Lee's now an adept dowry
00:50:59well he has always been known
00:51:00to be a fortune hunter
00:51:01Miss Lee is not my favourite but
00:51:03I imagine the family rather needed
00:51:05one of the girls to make a match this season
00:51:10something tells me all will be well
00:51:25Farley 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 Farley
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 I 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
00:51:53I do not remember you picking up a single book
00:51:56well I also came for an apology
00:51:58I never got one
00:52:00an apology
00:52:00from me
00:52:01about what
00:52:02well for 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
00:52:25I could
00:52:27possibly be
00:52:28apologetic about
00:52:31one or two
00:52:32things
00:52:39those
00:52:39those
00:52:41dresses
00:52:41that I offered you
00:52:43they were clearly out of season
00:52:44I 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 Farley
00:52:57I have missed you
00:52:58oh I cannot begin to tell you
00:53:00that Penwood woman
00:53:02she made work in here seem like a holiday
00:53:03I was only going to the countryside
00:53:05because she came home tonight in a foul mood
00:53:07and dismissed me
00:53:07dismissed you
00:53:09what sort of a fool would do such a thing
00:53:14well we cannot have you going to the countryside

00:56:39How does it feel to be officially recognized as a Penwood?
00:56:45Strange, but 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.
00:57:06Will you marry me?
00:57:09Yes.
00:57:11Yes, I will.
00:57:57Yes, I will.
00:58:00I'm overjoyed at how things have worked in your son's favor.
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?
00:58:22Something the matter?
00:58:28Oh.
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, because of my late husband, because of Francesca, but today I came
00:59:00to 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, my carefree, wild self.
00:59:17And I am afraid that if we are to wed, 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'm starting to doubt that you do.
01:00:05Please, Marcus, please.
01:00:07I 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
01:00:59to 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 as 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.
01:03:14My name is Young.
01:03:15Bye.
01:03:24Bye.
