Benedict Bridgerton: *catches Penelope sneaking out to the print shop*.... you know, you're not terribly good at the whole sneaking out thing. I've known for ages about your little Gossip Column. Things get boring without it, though.
Penelope Featherington: You tell anyone and I will tell your mother who broke that china vase she loved so much from her mother.
Benedict Bridgerton: Tell anyone that and I'll tell Colin that you're in love with him.
Penelope Featherington and Benedict Bridgerton: *stare off*
Penelope Featherington: A gentleman's agreement?
Benedict Bridgerton: Fine. But I don't see any of them here. *shakes her hand*
Literally every single Bridgerton in unison: because you literally made every wrong decision last season by some grace Kate still married you so this is the *least* you can do
Anthony: fine 😐😒 *mumbles* i hate this family
Later--
Anthony: hey, Colin, little brother, I have some advice
Colin, staring daggers and cracking knuckles at seeing Lord Debling with Penelope: what
Anthony: hey, um, maybe don't do what you are doing right now
Colin, still glaring: why not? You did the same thing when Kate was on that boat ride with Mr. Dorset
Anthony, sputtering: what do you mean- not the point. Alternatively you could just tell Penelope how you feel.
Colin, still in Full Denial™️ Mode: what no, I'm just helping Pen with finding a husband
Anthony, sighing: it's your funeral
Anthony, mumbling: did you learn anything from me last season. No one can say I didn't try
Later--
Anthony, thinking out loud: was I really that blind to how in denial I was??
Literally every single Bridgerton in unison: YES
Daphne from Hastings House: YES, YOU WERE. I TRIED TELLING YOU
The plotline for Violet that I just made up based on that promo- Anderson is a relative from Lady Danbury’s past that she can’t stand, he sets his eye on Violet to antagonize Danbury, and Danbury doesn’t approve because she thinks he sucks. Violet gets her garden plowed and Anderson catches feelings HARD and wants to lock her down, but Violet was serious that she just wanted sex. She could only love Edmund, but it’s the lust she needed a new man for, and she doesn’t want to remarry, so she sends Anderson packing. Lady Danbury and Violet both have a laugh about the whole thing like the baddies they are.
Colin bein the most thoughtful man there’s is because the fact he not only didn’t forget, about his mother as most men always forget about mothers because they think they don’t want anything or don’t know what to get them, but him getting her the most expensive thing out of everyone that’s my best boy he’s such a mamas boy no wonder he’s her favourite to! Him getting sheet music for Fran as she’s a pianist and Eloise a reader a book that’s not about the subject she hates the most
and the glass ball to Anthony 😂 I just know it’s a Digg at him because that man can’t ever see clearly the hell he is about to unleash upon them and himself case in point what he did to Edwina in s2 it could all have been avoided had that man known how to see things clearly
Perfume from Paris knowing how much little H wanted to be like daphne, and lastly Gregory who always wants to go hunting with his big brothers but can never get to because he’s to young and they afraid he’ll hurt himself which explains why he gave mini arrow and bow so he can enjoy himself learn how to hunt all while without completely hurting himself and that’s on best brother!
as for Benedict he needs stability focus and cards have that effect if you focus on the cards at hand you won’t be all over the place and your mind life is in focus too!!
She didn't move, too perplexed by his actions to give her legs the orders to step down. There was certainly no reason he had to accompany her inside. Propriety didn't really demand it, and-
"For God's sake, Penelope," he said, grabbing her hand and yanking her down. "Are you going to marry me or not?"
Julia Quinn, Romancing Mr. Bridgerton
I want to think that Edmund finds incredibly funny, yet embarrassing, that one of his children proposed in jail, another after fondling a lady on a carriage, and his eldest son didn't even get to propose because of a bee sting
I know everyone’s sick of this discourse by now but actually kind of concerning to me that so many people have the mindset that Colin going to brothels makes him “tainted” or “disgusting”. Screeners who have actually seen the episodes have said the brothel scenes have zero negative effects on his relationship with Penelope and don’t take away from the romance at all. Colin gets enough unnecessary hate, so it’s really disappointing to see his supposed fans turn on him like this.

These are from someone who claims to have seen the first six episodes (BTW if this person happens to see this post and wants me to take it down, I’ll be happy to do so)
The first brothel scene is in episode two, and according to this screener, Colin doesn’t go to the brothel to “prove himself” like we were speculating. He just goes to have sex, he enjoys himself, and that’s that. The second brothel scene is either in episode 4 or 5 (I’ve seen conflicting information so it’s unclear, but most likely episode 4). Colin does not enjoy himself this time and “mopes and sits in a corner” because Penelope is on his mind.
So, the brothel scenes are intended to show the difference between sex without feelings and romantic sex. In what world is that bad or disgusting?
definitely not but probably maybe bridgerton season 3 antics

Colin Bridgerton: *tenses* Not a damn word, brother. Not a damn word. Not to Eloise. Not to Mother. Or Francesa. And ONE word to Hyacinth and I will----
Benedict Bridgerton: Oh, I don't need to tell anyone. I was walking with Lady Danbury on the street. She's already gone to talk to Lady Featherington.
Colin Bridgerton: WHAT?
Benedict Bridgerton: *laughs* Oh that was worth it to see the look on your face. Don't worry, brother. Your secret is safe with me.
Colin Bridgerton: You are a complete ass.
Benedict Bridgerton: That's what brothers are for. Enjoy dipping your quill in her ink pot.
Colin Bridgerton: One more Feather pun and I kill you.
