37. I Want Your Honey
First, some housekeeping: we’re so very sorry that it’s taken us so long to get back to these episodes. We missed you, and we are so grateful that you’ve stayed with us. We will have a much more regular release schedule from this point forward. Thank you.
Second, unfortunately Rudi has to step back for the minute due to work commitments. For the remainder of this season we will be inviting special guest hosts, but no one can ever replace her, and we look forward to when she is able to join us again!
On with the show!
It’s all about family this episode, as the Sharmas join the Bridgertons at Aubrey Hall for a little get-to-know-you session before the rest of the ton arrive. And there is ripe opportunity to get to know each other. Who ever it was who said, an hour of play reveals more than a year’s conversation *must* have been talking about playing Pall Mall with the Bridgertons.
Please note: this episode contains mention of traumatic birth, surgical intervention, and maternal death
