38. Highway of Regret
Tensions at Aubrey Hall are HIGH, friends, and this episode is not going to make things any easier. After a few days of getting to know each other in quieter surrounds, the Bridgertons and Sharmas are about to be joined by the rest of the ton, as everyone takes to the country for Lady Bridgerton’s Heart and Flowers ball.
There are certainly flowers and hearts, though the latter aren’t always beating in the right direction. We have not one but two surprise proposals leading to what will surely be bright futures - and one relationship that hasn’t quite been left in the past…
Featuring:
Edwina’s really very questionable, quite unhinged, super nonsensical plan
Main character energy: who wants it, who has it
Practicalities: who wants them, who has them
Privilege: who wants it, who has it
Forgiveness: who wants it, who has it, who really doesn’t need it
Attention: who wants it, who has it
Money: who wants it, who has it
Ethics: who wants them, who has them
Control: who wants it, who has it
Good advice: who gives it, who ignores it
