Kate: Anthony and I made a promise to never go to bed angry with each other-
Anthony: We’ve been awake for two days!
Kate: If YOU would just admit to being wrong!

Molly, this 😂😂😂
Anthony’s thoughts: “Oh my god, I can’t believe I agreed to come out tonight. I could have been at home with my wife! I could have had a cup of herbal tea while she finished writing a letter to her mother. We could have taken Newton for a walk together! But no! I’m being dragged to my club away from MY WIFE! Maybe if I mention Kate enough they’ll start booing me and I’ll get to leave early before all the gamblers enter. I’ll just make sure my label is straight IF LOST PLEASE RETURN TO KATE VISCOUNTESS BRIDGERTON. DO NOT FEED DAIRY IT HURTS HIS TUMMY.
Perfect. They’ll send me home any minute now.”

Kate: go on now
Anthony, whining: why me?? 😫😩
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

not to intellectualize and defend bridgerton's mid ass writing but for me S2 was never really a love triangle.
sure they marketed it heavily that way, had charithra join jb & simone for main promos etc., but edwina has always been a representation of what was truly hindering kanthony to love each other: DUTY.
kanthony are both eldest children who were raised to take care of their younger siblings, stepped up to practically be the heads of their respective households, and had to carry the burden of responsibilities at a young age.
edwina is literally the physical manifestation of that reminder. anthony never loved her, we get like one (1) scene of edwina and anthony alone together because they never made him develop romantic feelings for her.
kanthony are both too stubborn because time and time again they KEEP prioritizing her (= DUTY) instead of themselves. it's why it takes kanthony's moms' apologies for putting them in such a role so young when they faced heavy losses in their lives — for KA to actually recognize that it's okay to have something for themselves.
jb said it himself: anthony needed to go through such a long and slow character arc before really committing and fully devoting himself to kate. he "surrenders" himself to the thing he has deprived himself off of for most of the season (for months, in show time): happiness.
i thought ppl understood that but apparently not. they're too busy complaining about the lack of KA screentime when that's literally not true???
and that apparently kate's backstory wasn't that fleshed out? these people think flashbacks are the only filmic device to give depth to a character when that is the furthest thing from the truth. you get to know her through her scenes with other ppl, her relationship with them.
you see all her facets: her horsemanship, her love for newton, her competitiveness, her disposition as a spinster, how little she feels because of her grandparents, how she subconsciously desires her mother's approval, her strength, womanhood, and capability in conversations with eloise, how edwina is literally an extension of her (taught and shaped her as a person), & of course her own desires and wants.
but no, they want to waste time getting mad at edwina to see all of what they've been trying to show us, and determining whether a character is well-written only when she is "likeable" or within the standards of morality like ohmygod give me a BREAK

Say no more. Anthony with Kate and Francesca on either side of him 🥹 also there’s so many of them walking in now 😂
Anthony.
You handsome little sweetheart.
This man really said “I was a shit to my wife last year and I am lucky she fell in love with me so I am going to make up for it now by being the biggest simp to ever take up the role.”
Also I love him supporting Francesca. Anthony is becoming a man his siblings feel like they can actually talk to about their problems, not be judged by him and I love that for them. I love that for him. I love that for me.
