29. We’ll Shine Together

Like a debutante in her first corset, direct us to the nearest fainting couch, because we have made it to the end. The last episode of Bridgerton ties up loose ends in some very pretty bows, starts off some new threads, and leaves others dangling tantalisingly into season two. And then there’s THE reveal… This is a super-sized episode as we dissect the last episode, all the things that were and the things to come, and do a retrospective of Lady Whistledown’s development in the light of her unveiling. Featuring: - An embargo lifted - Adele’s worst pun yet - (Re)courtships - Morts of many sizes - Connecting powers - A Baby-logue Here are the books and other media we talk about in this episode: - Bridgerton, the TV show - Pretty Woman, the film - To Sir Phillip, With Love by Julia Quinn - Pride and Prejudice, the book - Four Weddings and a Funeral, the film - Gossip Girl, the TV show - The Duke and I by Julia Quinn - Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez In this episode’s What Would Danbury Do segment, Kate provides a letter from Victoria, the heroine of Charish Reid’s Hearts on Hold.
