To conclude season two, the perfect enemies-to-lovers trope with Anthony Bridgerton and Kate Sharma came to a blissful end with the pair finally admitted their love and getting married. Penelope Featherington and Eloise Bridgerton had a friendship falling out when Eloise found out that her best friend was Lady Whistledown.

While trying to help his friend, Colin discovers feelings of jealousy – cue pining! Not to spoil part one, but it ends in a steamy encounter. But Colin and Penelope’s love story is not set in stone yet, as Eloise know of her ex-friends secret identity and isn’t afraid to expose her…
