55. Illicit Affairs

Everyone is back in London, and what happened at the cottage has to stay at the cottage. Sophie takes a position below stairs at Bridgerton House, placing her firmly within the family orbit but very much outside its privileges. Benedict struggles with the distance that uniform creates, and when he makes what he believes is a generous offer, it lands as something else entirely.

Meanwhile, Lady Danbury nudges Alice into a public role she never asked for, Francesca says the quiet part out loud, and Violet redefines ‘the tea’.
