Francesca 💔

27 Feb 01:00 #

I really feel sorry for her... I also wish she and John had a child(

27 Feb 21:35 #

@AndrewJudas: I roared over her speech, I'm so sorry for Francesca, no one deserves such a fate(

26 Feb 14:55 #

I knew there were spoilers about Francesca's story, but I wasn't ready for the ending of the episode...

26 Feb 15:26 #

@silver_abyss: I missed the episode, death in the last episode is very painful, but in this episode you're eating glass with Francesca, poor girl.

26 Feb 15:40 #

Finally, Benedict had an idea! 😂
Oh, those last tense minutes of the episode🔥

06 Mar 02:40 #

@g1308462: I think I suffocated a couple of times during this tense moment. Benedict finally understood everything!

26 Feb 15:57 #

I'm upset that the pregnancy branch was removed. And to be honest, I hoped in my heart that since she was given Michaela as a mate, John's child would survive. And here the pregnancy was completely crossed out. But for Francesca, motherhood was very important and one of the main branches in the book. And she's not going to have any children with Michaela.

26 Feb 17:00 #

@Dar5: Just as she hadn't seen the chemistry between Francesca and John, so had she and his sister
as friends—yes, but in love?

26 Feb 17:04 #

@MargoRose: Well, unfortunately, as it is. We were shown that Michaella already has some feelings. So we are waiting for a couple of them next season or next season (although I don't like everything that was done with Francesca's book :( )

26 Feb 17:13 #

@Dar5: I don't understand why it was necessary to make her a woman.
I really liked the book about them. To look at the couple Francesca and Michaela as an additional line in the season was not going anywhere... But I wouldn't really want to watch the whole season about them as a couple... Although Francesca deserved her season.

26 Feb 20:25 #

@MargoRose: Let's hope that Michaela has a cousin Michael for our beloved Fran.

26 Feb 19:19 #

@Dar5: I also wanted to write this about pregnancy. I thought they would keep it. Because with Francesca's changed line, she really will be left without children now. And this topic was highlighted in her book just like that.

26 Feb 20:50 #

@missFell: and whose will the Kilmartin title be now, if the male heir is always there? ?

I didn't like how Fran and Michaela were exposed. If I didn't know the book's history, I wouldn't understand what they were driving at from the dialogues. Even the fact that John says that my sister doesn't need to find a partner just sounds to me like "she wants to be an old maid." And that's it. nothing special.
I didn't see the hidden love that Michael had in the books. Anyway. This should be transmitted through the screen.
But we'll wait and see what the scriptwriters make up for us).

26 Feb 21:09 #

@Asqa_Enot: That's a good question about the title. Although I wouldn't be surprised if they could give it to Michaela. So to speak, another surprise in the story of Francesca will be made. Because it is already clear that they clearly do not intend to introduce another "one" Michael. It was understandable at the moment when Francesca started talking about climaxing with her husband. 🙂

26 Feb 22:05 #

@missFell: I've read books, but I don't really remember what the canon is about Francesca.. tell me, please, after my husband's death

26 Feb 22:07 #

@ashviki: she married his cousin Michael, who received the title of John.

26 Feb 22:16 #

@missFell: So there was no sister? Was there a child?

26 Feb 22:21 #

@ashviki: She was madly in love with John and was in mourning for a very long time + the fact that she was pregnant (and not as in the series), and she had a miscarriage, these two injuries combined and she suffered a lot. Mike, John's cousin, started living with her, as he took the title and they did not live in London. Mike was deeply in love with Fran, and Fran suffered and dreamed of having children. And she thought that she would have to marry again for the sake of the children, but she did not want to betray the memory of John. Well, in the end, she still fell in love with Mike after a long time and they seem to have three children. Of course, there was no cousin, just a cousin

26 Feb 22:24 #

@ashviki: There was no sister and no child. Rather, Francesca was pregnant, but she had a miscarriage. Later in the book, the topic of her wanting a child was also raised.

27 Feb 13:54 #

@Asqa_Enot: In Scotland, in the absence of a male heir, the title was transferred to the next of kin. So, unless another cousin is brought out, Michaela will legally become the Countess of Kilmartin.

26 Feb 22:02 #

@Dar5: agree. I also thought that if Michael was turned into Michaella, then at least they would have kept the child. After all, Francesca really wanted children in the book. I'm really upset about the turnaround with this cousin. One of the coolest stories in the whole series. And it's already been leaked.

26 Feb 16:11 #

When Benedict found out who his lady in the silver dress was, I got goosebumps... Yes, and the soundtrack at that moment is right in the very heart.

27 Feb 22:47 #

@number2319: But damn, if Benedict hadn't spent time looking at his drawings, he would have made it to Sophie before she was taken away in this horse-drawn paddy wagon.

26 Feb 17:01 #

Oh, it took Benedict a long time to get
it, and seriously, did you just get it from the pendant? there were no other hints)
although I repeat, I wrote in the first part of the season, considering that he was looking for a lover among the Europeans, then))

26 Feb 17:14 #

@MargoRose: Well, it was said more than once that he was so actively looking for and dreaming so much that as a result he even forgot what she really looked like, so even all the portraits are without a face.

27 Feb 23:09 #

@starbuck: let's be honest, this was done only for the sake of the plot, so that almost before the finale he would wonder who the Lady
was, forget the nationality of the girl he fell in love with, with whom he spent more than one minute, it's necessary to try

27 Feb 22:48 #

@MargoRose: With this level of observation and memorization, he could have been looking for dark- skinned ladies . 😁

Today, 21:03 #

@lenala: Duck seemed to be looking, at least we were shown footage where he admires the lips of all the women he meets, and among them there are dark-skinned ones)

26 Feb 17:04 #

How visually delightful is this grim tragedy at the beginning! It's so stylish, Bridgerton-like, to show the beauty of grief through outfits and details.💔

26 Feb 17:08 #

It was an absolutely gorgeous and heartbreaking episode, and I cried through most of it, but when Gregory said, "Mother should have stopped at seven," I just burst out laughing.😂 A delightful and very relevant moment!
The finale of the series has no notes at all, I was so hoping that the prison arch from the book would be left, because it contains my favorite moments And YES, I'm just incredibly happy! And how Benedict finally realized that Sophie = The Lady in Silver! I am sure that the season finale will leave me delighted.🔥

26 Feb 17:12 #

So I lived to see the moment when the Bridgerton episode made me burst into tears while watching. Francesca is very sorry, because I also don't understand why the pregnancy was removed, now it's not very clear how the title will be inherited, etc. because Michael got everything in the book, but since he's not here, Francesca could arrange a son from John.

26 Feb 18:02 #

Well, it finally got to Beni 🥰

26 Feb 18:47 #

All episodes of this kambek are just what kind of glass😢
Baby Fran crying on Vi's shoulder, and breaking into pieces just tears me apart.
Dear Lady Violet, when I found the strength to support Ben and their conversation by the fireplace about how important it is to choose love and then live with that choice.
In short, I cried and went to watch the finale, where everything will get better, otherwise I don't know why it's all)🫶🏼

26 Feb 20:53 #

@karinabuzia: This is the most difficult episode of the Bridgertons in all seasons. How light the series is, it was hard here. I cried along with everyone without stopping. Although John wasn't my favorite character, and I didn't even get into him at first. But it was impossible not to feel the grief that the characters conveyed through the screen. Bravo.

26 Feb 20:04 #

A heartbreaking episode!
I didn't expect that Francesca's story would touch me so much, so along with other stories, it's just glass x10

26 Feb 20:11 #

Maybe Francesca is pregnant after all? Is it just too early and therefore not confirmed?
I thought about the pendant that it would reveal the origin of Sofia, but it turns out to be just a pebble)

26 Feb 20:33 #

It's just tragic for them somehow... Benedict and Sophie got the hardest of all (((

26 Feb 20:40 #

And I still hope that Anthony will support his brother in the end, that's how important it is. Although Benedict was pleasantly surprised by the fact that he has his own opinion and defends it. He obeyed Sophie and retreated, but the feelings remained, and no one would convince him that she was not worth it, his Sophie

26 Feb 21:43 #

The first minutes of the episode just destroyed me. I was finished off by Francesca 's reaction 💔 my girl 💔💔💔

26 Feb 21:47 #

"I can't send you to a new position with the flu" - awww, Benedict💔You're already breaking my heart for the second episode in a row by barely holding back tears. He looks a lot like Anthony from the end of season two, but he can control himself less. And these outbursts of emotions make him much more alive, more human than Sophie, who seems to have fewer and fewer emotions with each episode. Where's the explosive girl with the butcher knife from the second episode?((

I didn't even realize that I missed Benedict and Francesca's interaction so much. Over the course of three seasons, you get used to the fact that his beloved sister is Eloise, and here we decided to add such a charming detail - a simple melody on the piano that Benedict once played to little Francesca.🥰

Posey is such a sweetheart🥰 She took off and ran away under cover while Varley was standing guard in the hallway) It's a pity that she's not shown so often. And Araminta got the information out of her so well((

The ending, where everyone missed each other by literally a split second, and even shot as if in a single shot - well, purely honey, le cinema as it is)

26 Feb 22:00 #

Come on, Benedict, ride faster after Sophie, as long as you can, I don't have any energy to look at you two!!!!

26 Feb 22:10 #

I cried the whole episode, a very touching speech at John's wake.

26 Feb 22:17 #

A strong series, all the characters revealed themselves even more. I sat in tears for half the episode for sure. How Benedict protected Francesca from the attorney, amused her with his game; Violet's dialogues with Benedict and Francesca; Violet's support from Mrs. Wilson; how Francesca tried to hold on and her hope for a piece of John.. Oh, my dear Francesca, it hurts so much to look at her😭 But I finally saw their relationship with Michaela! Common grief brings us closer, I would like to do it differently, of course.💔 They can really become a support for each other and build a relationship on this.

But finally, Benedict put together 1+1 and found out the identity of the Lady in silver, and Sophie left a "farewell" message. And Posy is so cute, but very trusting, she reminds me of Penelope from the first seasons and Edwina.🥹

I liked the Scottish tradition of saying goodbye. We often drown in loss and grieve over the fact of a person's death, while before it a person had a whole life, we are not determined only by the fact of death. Life should be celebrated!

Today, 21:08 #

@cutebutdevil: What's the connection between Michaela and Francesca? What kind of relationship?! They have lost their closest person, that's all, they share the grief, where does the love that leads us to come from?!
Let them be a support, let them be friends, they can even live together for a while to help each other, but loving love... oh

26 Feb 22:29 #

It's nice to see how the whole family supports Francesca in her grief. I would like to say one thing about Benedict: "Eureka!!!"...How long had it been getting to him

26 Feb 22:52 #

What is she like, God forgive me, there are no words

26 Feb 23:05 #

Let's pretend that I didn't cry half the episode like the last scum (and I didn't even like Killmartin) Actress Fran loves drama, she's finally allowed to PLAY

Violet is the best mom, she tried to get the truth out of Sophie until the last moment, knowing how dear she was to her son, and then she gave him a family heirloom anyway, even knowing that she would lose him through this step.

I feel a lot of feelings, I won't be able to sleep until I finish watching

26 Feb 23:44 #

The series is wonderful and just full of all kinds of events.

But how Michaela pisses me off, and every time more and more. And it's not even infuriating that one of the most interesting stories of Francesca-Michael was twisted as much as possible, making Michael a woman. It's infuriating that Michaela just knows no boundaries. Why does a person think he has the right to say that "commemorations are bullshit. We should have a dance," why does she think she has the right to tell someone how to grieve properly? "In Scotland, it's customary to..." - well, go back to your Scotland. When the person you loved so much dies, and you have absolutely nothing left after him, only the one who has lived through it will understand. I really hoped that Francesca would keep the baby, since they gave Michael a ride, but apparently they decided to finally finish her off. If there is a separate season for Francesca-Michaella, I will probably skip it.

Well, Beni finally got it. In fact, it took him so long to get there that I almost forgot about the girl in the silver dress lol. But at least everything will fall into place now and we will finally find out what is wrong with Sophie's pedigree, because I understand that her mother was not a servant after all.

26 Feb 23:47 #

Violet gave Anthony her grandmother's ring in the second season. In the third season, Colin also has a family ring. And now, for Benedict, his grandmother's ring. Question. Did Grandma know how many grandchildren there would be, or did she just love jewelry? As a rule, there is only one engagement ring. And here for every son.. (I wonder if there will be more for Gregory).
Or do they propose and give the ring back, and then wear another one at the wedding?

26 Feb 23:52 #

@sofklemen: In the second season, there was Violet's own ring, most likely the ring of Edmund's mother. And here's Grandma Violet's ring.

27 Feb 12:05 #

@sofklemen: they have Edmund's grandmother, Edmund's mother, Violet's grandmother, Violet's mother, Violet herself) Every son has enough

27 Feb 23:01 #

@sofklemen: I'll say more, I've just been reviewing the first two seasons, and it's like Daphne and Anthony had the same engagement rings. Maybe they take turns wearing the same family ring a little at a time? 😁😁😁

28 Feb 11:41 #

@lenala: Daphne can't have the same ring, because the duke had to give her something of his family.

27 Feb 01:10 #

This episode shook my soul out!

It was not for nothing that the actors noted this episode in the interview, I have not received so many emotions from the series for a long time, and here only from one episode

Okay, from all episodes of the second part of the season💔

The Bridgertons have reached a new level, and if series usually slide after season 3, they are only gaining momentum here.

Thank them for these emotions

27 Feb 02:26 #

what a bitch stepmom

27 Feb 02:33 #

I wonder who the next season will be about. For some reason, it seems that they can combine Francesca and Eloise.

I was very pleased with the appearance of Anthony and Pauline, I love both couples, it's a pity that there are no Hastings(
For the first time only this season, the Mondrici did not seem superfluous, now their story, introduced a long time ago, is logically developing in the plot.

27 Feb 04:43 #

The episode broke my heart, of course, poor little Francesca, she didn't deserve even a little bit of this pain..

27 Feb 08:47 #

Francesca 🖤

She's still so young and she's already survived her husband's death. (

It's sad that the dream of having a child didn't come true (

Violet is such an understanding mother, knowledgeable...and she could have pushed Benedict aside and said now is not the time, but if not, she found it for him!

27 Feb 14:51 #

@lady_kana:

27 Feb 14:51 #

@lady_kana:

27 Feb 08:48 #

Posy! What a good little girl she had grown up despite Araminta 's machinations !

27 Feb 08:49 #

Finally!

27 Feb 11:09 #

The whole series is all about walking on glass... but this is probably one of the best episodes! One ending is worth it! Benedict finally realized that Sophie was the lady in silver. Well, the moment of the arrest was unexpected...

27 Feb 15:06 #

I don't even know what to write about the series. I stopped watching 2 or 3 times because I needed to replenish the water balance from crying. I was glad that the WHOLE episode was set up to say goodbye to John. If they had a 5-minute funeral at the beginning and a little melancholy, then I wouldn't understand. And here it's so well done, and literally all the lines are woven into the plot. So cleverly done, aerobatics! Everyone is beautiful. There is even a feeling that the series has "matured" and reached a qualitatively new level.

27 Feb 20:47 #

I'm crying the second episode. Poor Francesca, she didn't deserve this.

27 Feb 20:55 #

how was pregnancy defined at that time...?

alenkoy_shelkova

27 Feb 22:46 #

@yuurfia: I'm interested too. She mentioned that she just had a delay, that is, the deadline is very early.

27 Feb 21:21 #

This is probably the strongest and hardest episode in all four seasons, it was impossible to hold back the tears. I also hoped that Francesca would at least have a child with Michaela, but even then they didn't give her a chance..

27 Feb 21:24 #

Sorry to all the fans of this series, but I was bored.

In general, this season turned out to be different ... stingy with balls and social events, instead we get stories of servants. And some completely uninteresting main line.

abullycanreally

27 Feb 21:56 #

@msSomnium: I absolutely agree with you. Before that, I couldn't stop watching the season on a binge, now I find myself thinking that I often look at how much is left.

AND HOW INFURIATING IT WAS THAT HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHO THE GIRL FROM THE BALL WAS!

Today, 21:17 #

@msSomnium: anyone has become more interesting than the main line, even the very stories of the servants are more interesting

27 Feb 21:57 #

Well, they gave us an emotional swing ride..

27 Feb 22:39 #

I like that there are a lot fewer bed scenes this season, I didn't expect this in a season about Benedict.

02 Mar 23:19 #

@kivi_lo: Well I do not know....less))) A lot of people were shown:
Mondrici
John and Francesca
Colin and Penelope were messing around in the carriage again 😅
Violet and Marcus
Benedict and Sophie (by the way, they also showed him in the morning with two girls in episode 1, how he kissed a man).

27 Feb 22:47 #

that is, Benedict recognized Sophie not by her lips, not by her eyes, not by her voice
(la, she wrote it herself, she caught the vibes of the group "roots" herself)
, not even by her figure or something else

AND ACCORDING TO THE PENDANT,
Benedict, you are an unsurpassed character.

I admire the acting of Hannah (Francesca). My heart was already broken, and now it's just worn down to dust. 🥺💔

28 Feb 14:33 #

@zamizami: She also sang the song of the Roots 😆

27 Feb 23:01 #

Cry the whole episode
This series is just a gap 💔
I hadn't read the book, so I didn't know Francesca's line.
Throughout the season, the characters so sincerely demonstrated their desire for parenthood that I was sure their dream would come true by the end. 😭

27 Feb 23:04 #

How to stop crying

28 Feb 02:24 #

The fact that Hannah Dodd is a wonderful actress realized in the last episode of last season, when she changed Francesca with one glance, but this is a lived pain...💔💔

There are a lot of times this season when my eyes are wet.😭

Benedict and his relationship with his sisters, how he feels and loves each of them 🥹🥹

MOM Bridgerton, sweet wonderful Lady Violet, You are doing everything right, how much love and strength there is in this woman.

28 Feb 02:26 #

28 Feb 02:28 #

The second wake

Hopefully, Francesca will have her own season, and not just a background life for other siblings..

28 Feb 03:08 #

@Liyuuuuunder: By the way, I'm also really offended for Francesca in this regard. Let her shine!

28 Feb 08:10 #

@Liyuuuuunder: there was news that the series was renewed for season 5 and 6. Accordingly, it will be about Eloise and Francesca. The question now is which one of them will get the season first.

28 Feb 09:28 #

@zamizami: it was as if she didn't exist for two seasons, but now until this moment it's clear why, they couldn't put the wedding and the attempts to get pregnant and John's death in one season, and then sprinkle feelings for Mikayla.. Next season should be 100% hers.

28 Feb 03:27 #

how well the tension was cranked up towards the end!

28 Feb 10:17 #

Benedict showed by his example how long it sometimes takes men.

28 Feb 10:41 #

I've been flying the whole series ... I feel incredibly sorry for Francesca, and this examination... it's terrible

28 Feb 12:12 #

As soon as you think that there could not be a more bitter and touching love story in the Bridgertons, the new season immediately convinces you of this... I'm just going to be torn into a thousand sobbing pieces...

ЮлияДрогобецкая

28 Feb 14:42 #

And why did John die so suddenly??

28 Feb 18:33 #

@Yuliyadrogobetskaya: most likely a brain aneurysm

28 Feb 14:51 #

Judging by the fact that all of Michael's lines were given to Benedict and part of Francesca's story was crammed into Benedict's season, she won't have her own season.

28 Feb 18:02 #

At the funeral, I held on and didn't cry, but when everyone started eating these cookies at the wake, I was so unwound.

28 Feb 19:41 #

Why is everyone behaving towards the queen as if she is insane or underdeveloped? I understand that they should be afraid of her. But the scenario creates such a context, as if to be afraid not as a person endowed with power, but as a child who is about to throw a tantrum.

And as much as I dislike Benedict, he said it right. Violet has been convincing children all her life that they should look for love. Well, Benedict found her, so it turned out, "it's not right! and if so, then you and I will stop talking." It was the same with Eloise a couple of seasons ago, she also fell in love with the "wrong" guy.

28 Feb 22:32 #

I cried the whole episode.

28 Feb 22:37 #

It was heartbreaking the whole episode. 💔💔
And what a wonderful mother and woman Violet is, after all. 💜

01 Mar 00:54 #

That's how you know there should be a happy ending, but you're just scared that it won't happen.

catchmeimfalling

01 Mar 01:31 #

It was the best episode of the entire series. I won't waste time on a long comment, I want to look further as soon as possible.

But it was awesome, and I'm thrilled. I cried, and smiled, and fucked up with some events. so much drama, so much passion and emotion, wow. all the actors played with a bang, there were very cool scenes with Francesca, I got into this character very much. Oh, and this dance... Laughing through tears, so sweet, so beautiful, so painful

Bravo.

01 Mar 11:58 #

Francesca just got married, poor thing.

01 Mar 12:29 #

Benedict finally understood! (Albeit belatedly)
It gives me the creeps) 💔
Anyway, the episode is just heartbreaking! 🥹

It's already sad that the last episode is left and this amazing season is over)

01 Mar 20:20 #

Before that, the love stories of the Bridgerton children were so easy, misunderstandings were solved simply, but there were no really difficult situations - and it was a pleasant kind of escapism. In the same season, Cinderella's most fabulous story unexpectedly meets reality, and death is also superimposed, which previously had only minor characters or in the past. It's so atypical-I certainly didn't think that a funny, romantic series would make me cry. It's not good or bad, it's just a very abrupt genre change, as far as I'm concerned.

01 Mar 21:27 #

What a great episode!

02 Mar 11:14 #

I hadn't read the printed version, but after John said that Michaela didn't need to be introduced to anyone, I immediately understood what they were driving at.
But I'm surprised by the comments about Francesca.…
I thought maybe they'd set them up with Eloise.…

02 Mar 19:34 #

It's a pity, Francesca, it's a pity that the pregnancy line was removed

It took me a long time to get to Benedict. In the end, I just screamed, yes, run and save her 🫣

03 Mar 17:30 #

The whole episode is on the tear

Everything is so unfair to Sophie!! But I'm so glad that Benedict understood everything)
I'm waiting for a good ending in the next episode.

04 Mar 17:24 #

Is this drink too strong?I just can't believe that Violet is not against Sophie now, how beautifully she said - the most important thing is love, and if you have found it, you must fight before it's too late!!I really admire Violet, she's a wonderful mom!!!!!Her support is simply invaluable!!
I am very, very sorry for Francesca and John, to lose my husband, to be happy with the child and to lose him...It's very sad, her speech at the celebration at the end just brought me to tears!!!What a gentle and strong woman she is, their love with John was wonderful beyond words!!!I prayed so much that he would make it to Sophie...Well, as it is..he understood everything about Sophie, that he fell in love with her twice and she was taken away...She didn't deserve this, what a goat Araminda is!!!God, I hope he finds her...

mikkirurkbezruk

05 Mar 00:00 #

I can't figure out why my stepmother hates Sophie so much. Is it even jealousy from the past? That the husband had a daughter, not just wife number one.

06 Mar 08:46 #

@mikkirurkbezruk: It was said that Sophie is not her real name + when Posey came to Sophie, she said "what Araminda told you about you and your mother is not true"
By analogy with Cinderella, Sophie is most likely of noble origin, a real heiress of property and higher in status than Araminda herself. For this reason, the stepmother is afraid that the truth will be revealed and she will lose everything.

I was still more attentive in Benedict's book, I recognized him by his face.

Series - glass 💔 In many ways, this whole season is glass, unlike the previous three, there are a lot of breakups and losses

Today, 21:17 #

- I decided to get away from you, but no, but yes, but no. And let me come up to you even more often now than before, smile every time I meet you, so you'll definitely forget me faster, and it's so easy for me right away.
The main couple of the season became annoying in the second half, getting stronger with each episode. There was a comment above about Sophie not looking like herself at all in the first episodes, where she ran around with a knife, and here I totally agree. Again and again, we have a completely different person. It's some kind of faded shadow of Sophie from the ball. And it's unclear who was molded out of Beni.

She cried the whole episode because of Francesca, dear Francesca, fate treated her terribly cruelly, she wants to be happy!!! She deserves it! The acting is incredible!
