Penelope stopped replying to colin’s letters for four months and he spiraled so bad he changed his clothes, hair, and his entire personality he’s literally just a girl

Things heat up between Penelope and Colin, as their friendship turns into something more.
colin's "lessons" are so funny bc they basically amounted to "just be yourself! you're great! i've liked you ever since i first met you!"

Bridgerton cast " The audience will probably have so many complex questions for us about part 2 "
Us. The audience. " I wonder if Colin will clean his fingers before announcing the engagement to his family????? " pic.twitter.com/spHuCgl8ym— 🪞🪞🩵POLIN_LOVER💛🪞🪞 (@Bohosoul97) May 19, 2024
Still, it's inevitable Colin will find out that Penelope is actually Lady Whistedown.

Colin isn't the only Bridgerton fans are interested in, either. X users hope upcoming episodes will spotlight his brother, Benedict.
my favorite thing about the bridgerton show is that society has somehow eliminated racism but not sexism, imperialism, classism, or child labor. my second favorite thing is benedict bridgerton
