Dearest readers, if you’re eagerly anticipating the release of Bridgerton Season 3, Part 2, you’re not alone. Penelope and Colin’s season wraps up on June 13, but fear not — there’s much to look forward to, including wedding bells, gossip, and plenty of twists among the ton.
If you need a refresher, the ending of part one saw Colin disrupting Lord Debling’s proposal by intercepting the couple while they were dancing. Colin told Pen that marrying Debling would be a mistake, especially since he had developed romantic feelings for her. Observing their argument, Debling, who favors a practical marriage over a love match, began to suspect that there might be something more between the longtime friends.
Debling then tells Penelope he cannot propose to her because of her unresolved romantic feelings for Colin. Heartbroken and confused, she rushes to her carriage, followed by Colin, who climbs inside. Colin pours out his heart and feelings to her. They kiss (for the second time), leading to more, then, in breathtakingly romantic gesture, he proposes to Penelope.
“For God’s sake, Penelope Featherington. Are you going to marry me or not?” Colin proposes, holding her hand outside the Bridgerton house. On June 3, Netflix released the official trailer for Season 3, Part 2, teasing what’s to come in the final episodes. Here are five things to look forward to when the second part debuts on June 13.
Penelope’s Answer To Colin’s Marriage Proposal
Based on the trailer for part two, it’s clear that Penelope said yes to Colin’s marriage proposal. However, audiences will have to watch the fifth episode to hear her exact response to her crush’s whirlwind ask.
Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton told Netflix’s Tudum that they were delighted that the proposal was the moment to conclude part one. “We literally looked back at the script and we went, ‘Oh, that’s so good,’” Coughlan explained. “That’s so good because there’s so much you know is still to come.”
Colin Finding Out Penelope Is Lady Whistledown
Penelope and Colin’s engagement will surely cause a stir among the ton, and viewers will see how the Bridgertons and Featheringtons take the surprising news. The trailer gives viewers a glimpse of both families’ reactions.
In one clip, Lady Bridgerton gasps and says, “I’m delighted for you both,” while Eloise stares blankly into the distance. Meanwhile, the Featheringtons appear to stumble upon the engagement announcement in Lady Whistledown’s latest column. Prudence and Philippa spit out their teas in shock while their mother, Portia, hastily snatches the paper from Albion Finch’s hand.
The “Mirror Scene”
The trailer for part two also teases a memorable and spicy moment from Julia Quinn’s book Romancing Mister Bridgerton. In the teaser, Colin and Penelope are having an intimate moment while staring into a mirror.
It’s unknown how the anticipated “Mirror scene” will play out on screen, but Coughlan previously told BuzzFeed that there is one scene where she is “very naked” on camera.
“I specifically asked for certain lines and moments to be included,” Coughlan said of working with intimacy coordinator Lizzy Talbot. “There’s one scene where I’m very naked on camera, and that was my idea, my choice. It just felt like the biggest ‘fuck you’ to all the conversation surrounding my body; it was amazingly empowering. I felt beautiful in the moment, and I thought, ‘When I’m 80, I want to look back on this and remember how f*cking hot I looked!’”
