Bridgerton gets steamy and raises the stakes in season three part two trailer

In previous seasons, Lady Whistledown’s identity and how Penelope managed to keep it under wraps was an intriguing subplot. But with Penelope coming into her own as the season’s romantic heroine, the conflict is coming to a head. The new trailer promises Penelope will be welcomed into the Bridgerton family with open arms—except by her former best friend Eloise (Claudia Jessie), who knows Lady Whistledown’s true identity. The protective younger sister issues a serious ultimatum: “Until he knows the real you, he cannot possibly love you,” Eloise asserts. “If it is too difficult for you to reveal the truth, I will reveal it to him myself.”

With the clock ticking for Pen to tell the truth, the stage is set for some of Bridgerton’s most dramatic scenes yet in the final four episodes of the season. The final face-off between the betrothed couple can’t come a moment too soon, as the first part of the third season lacked some of the compelling spark that propelled previous seasons. Still, fans of the Bridgerton books are sure to be satisfied. Part one ended with the long-anticipated “carriage scene” (a.k.a., a steamy moving-vehicle intimacy scene), and the trailer for part two teases the equally anticipated “mirror scene.” Say one thing about this series, loyal romance fans will always be rewarded!
