that scene with daphne and her mother and violet just embracing her and letting her cry against her gets me every single time. it was when i truly started to appreciate violet as a character and a mother. this was an era when a lot of times children were to be seen and not heard and affection to be withheld lest children become spoiled. we've seen several times that violet has raised her children differently and i think it shows in so many ways. i also love the scenes with the duke and lady danbury. there's lots of so many strong characters and i admire them in so many ways.

i love that you love this episode. it does kind of take a while to get used to this show and the time period but this episode you really get to see their personalities shine and the storyline really picks up. i tend to write entire essays in the comments of reactions to this show lol just a warning i think marina's father is paying lord featherington to care for marina, and that's what that storyline is. she's a source of income for him. also omg your reaction to anthony coming into the garden was GOLDEN. that was exactly my reaction too when i first saw it lol and yeah from daphne's perspective, it does sound really awful - that he'd rather have a duel and risk being killed than marry her. if only he'd communicate. there's certain tropes in each season and i'm afraid this one stems a lot on the miscommunication trope which can be frustrating at times. i fully understand the duke has trauma and that is very painful to deal with, and i also understand it may take him time to open up about said trauma. but when your trauma starts to hurt another person (in this case daphne) then it becomes an issue you need to work through so as to not cause someone else pain. my heart also aches for pen and eloise this episode. they are best friends but i feel pen was in the right to call out eloise. eloise has a lot of privledge being a "pretty bridgerton." she's set in the marriage market when it comes her time. pen is ushered aside. her own mother doesn't really bother with her because she doesn't see pen as a viable wife to "sell off." pen doesn't have the prospects or oppronutines eloise does or will have in the future. eloise has the privledge to not have to think about marriage. anthony would probably find her a good match and she has a sizable dowery. pen will most likely have to "settle" and pray she doesn't get into an abusive/hopeless situation. eloise can afford to be caught up in lady wistledown and not think about marriage. pen cannot afford those things. this discussion also reminds me of a remarkable scene in little women 2019, a film i think you should react to sometime. jo does not want marriage and finds it silly. her sister is getting married and jo implores her "can't we just run away together?" and her sister sets her straight and says "just because marriage isn't your dream doesn't make it any less important that it's my dream." i think it shows a really good conversation that people can want different goals and things in life but neither is any less valid than the other. i think that's a lesson eloise needed to hear. i love the ending scene so much. the duke tells her that the only reason he will not marry her is because she wants children and he "cannot" give her that. so daphne stepping up and saying they are to be wed is her saying pretty much that everything else be damned, she wants to marry him. the only hang up he had about marrying her or being with her is that he cannot give her the things he knows she wants. she's telling him the only thing she wants his him and they can figure out everything else along the way. i think it's a really powerful scene for daphne. i loved her taking charge this episode, between her standing up for herself to the duke on the balcony, and her putting collin in his place and telling him that this is her life and that their decisions affect her and she'll be damned if she just sits in the sidelines and lets the men make those choices for her. i love your reaction to this episode, and now i'm super excited for you to get to the future episodes! this episode is the one that it feels like, okay THIS is bridgerton lol

Mr Featherington owes Marina's dad money so as "payment" they had to take Marina in. And the wedding thing - back then when a wedding takes place the parents of the bride had to pay the husband a dowry, which is a certain amount of money as sort of payment or incentive for the husband to take care of the wife financially. So if Mr Featherington lost the dowry money that means his daughters can't get married right now bc every man in the ton would refuse to without it.

agreed. when Violet talks about her family being so close and spending so much time together - which as you said was very unusual at that time - it is because Violet raised them this way. she encouraged them to be close.

this was really Daphne's episode. I know she can come across as kinda bland in the beginning or the too classic heroine, but in this episode you see that she is way more capable and independent than she seems. She actually likes all the things women were supposed to like back then but she still makes her own choices and is really smart.

yes!! and i love how you can tell they were all raised to genuinely be friends with one another. i always keep her words "we all like each other....mostly" or whatever it was she said in my head as i watch this show. i think that sums up the bridgerton family to a T lol
