Like, remember the balloon accident??
That was this season!
And so much plot has happened in this back half of season three I am tired!
But, in a good, satisfying, I need a cigarette kind of way, you know?
Gird your loins, babes, were diving in.
Were right back to the alley where Colin finds Pen talking Whistledown to the printer and he isheartbroken.
I love that they are playing this with so many emotional layers right from the jump.
Our dude was so worried that Pen had decided he wasnt good enough for her and hed lose her!
Insecurity isnt hot, but vulnerability is; I dont make the rules.
Theres no easy way out of this for anyone.
When Penelope tells Eloise that Colin knows and looks to her for comfort, Eloise cant offer it.
Penelope is on her own here.
When Colin confronts Eloise about how long she knew, he finds no solace in her answers, either.
Hes still in tears!
This is eating him alive!
He is the Worlds Saddest Boy.
Penelopes last-minute column, thankfully, clears everything up.
She does not tolerate liars and that is all Cressida Cowper is.
So, like, just some really healthy, cool vibes happening over at the Cowper house.
Yeah, Col, WHAT WILL THIS MARRIAGE BE?!
The night before the wedding, things are still sour between them.
Genevieve is so wise!
and is instead putting on a good face at his little stag do.
They are laying their feelings bare here!
When he pushes about stopping Whistledown, she still cant make that promise.
Hes mad shes put herself in danger.
and we are finally seeing the extent of his insecurities.
Why would someone love him?
Thank GOD they start furiously making out.
They cannot help it.
A highly underrated quality in a significant other.
Hey, speaking ofsignificantothers, lets take a Benedict Break.
Lady Tilley Arnold saysgay rightsand we love that especially during Pride month!
Its a real low-pressure situation at Tilleys.
Benedict has a lot to think about.
Anthony is there too, but hes mostly just for show.
(Thats a compliment; I love him so much.)
Kate and Anthony are so freaking cute as a happily married couple I can barely stand it.
Lets not get too ahead of ourselves, though; we have a wedding to attend.
Lets cut to the chase: Both the bride and groom do attend.
Just one final reminder of her ugly ass dresses for the road.
(Her light pink wedding gown is gorgeous, by the way.)
They both seem so in love and so happy to be promising themselves to one another.
Even Eloise is crying!
Okay, Els emotions at the wedding are more complicated than happy tears.
Benedict tells her that love is not finite; there is always more room in your heart.
Eloise complains about dust again.
Its all so lovely.
And off he goes.
Things are trending up for Pen and Colin at the lavish Featherington Wedding Breakfast.
Penelope even perks up the courage to ask her husband (!!)
Its not by the book, but when have Penelope and Colin ever been that?
She makes everyone who is not a Bridgerton leave the party.
When Penelope goes to leave, Colin pulls her back.
You are a Bridgerton now, he gently tells her, which is like layers.
This whole scene isso good.
The Queen lets them go for now when she gets nowhere, but promises to root out the truth.
Do you know what it is like to have nowhere in the world where you might truly be yourself?
You cannot possibly know because you are not a woman, she tells him.
She is tired of hiding who she is I am Whistledown, she finally says with her full chest.
She is finally owning it, no matter what.
And if Colin is going to love her, he needs to love all of her.
Hell sleep on the sofa, he tells her.
Thats nice, right?
I am here for you, Agatha, always.
Lady Danbury is moved and so am I!
Lady D and Marcus finally, finally make amends.
She apologizes for being hard on him.
Dont look now, but someones garden is blooming, baby.
Excuse me, lewks.
Anthonys little wave when Kate goes off to bed after their chat with Colin?
Be still my ever-Kanthony-loving heart.
Dont come for my cane.
