Beware shallow waters, dear listeners. Spoilers are ahead.

With only a week to go until our carriage arrives back in Mayfair, we’re wading out a little deeper as we share our first reactions to S4E1 The Waltz.

As the Bridgerton servants prepare our scones, we’ll be polishing up Benedict’s rock collection, searching the ton for Fran’s pinnacle and making sure no one spills tea on the heir to the Featherington name.

Following a dance lesson with a silver ingenue, we’ll be sniffing our wrists and turning our attentions to matters of the heart with Matchmaker Colin. After all, we’d wager he’s not the only one blessed with the gift of the gab.

And if you’re feeling a little chill from the passing winter, then it’s time to slip on your silver gloves and step back into the ton. The seasons are changing, dearest listeners, and who knows what lies in the beyond?

Uh…shall we pop the kettle on, Colin?

As we awake from a fitful night on the sofa, we’re fluffing our pillows and pouring ourselves a cup of trage-tea for Part 1 of our S3E8 rewatch.

With newlywedded bliss nowhere in sight, we’ll be taking the carriage alone to visit Pen’s mother and Walter Dundas Esq. before swinging by Bridgerton House to console a grumpy husband with an unfortunately timed hero complex.

And while one marriage might be on the rocks, it won’t stop us from grabbing our confetti and bagpipes as we walk Fran down the carpet to join John in holy (and probably temporary) matrimony. ‘Till death do you part, Frohn.

But hold your dying breath, dearest listeners. A gossip writer has been exposed and a blackmail plot is underway. Best get the chequebook out, Pen. That ticket to Vienna won’t pay for itself.

Rakes of the ton, beware – Violet Bridgerton is on the warpath.

Join us as we raise our kites in honour of the Benophie New Year and celebrate the long-awaited arrival of the Season 4 Part 1 trailer.

With our maid pinafores freshly starched for the year ahead, we’ll be taking a trip downstairs where we'll find Sophie a good costume for one glorious night and grab the mop and bucket to clean up the aftermath of an alphabetic shaving cream fight.

Across the square, we’ll also be helping Penelope tie a mask on a pirate’s mast before we sneak into a ballroom with Hy, waltz in the bandstand and impatiently await a midnight unmasking. And if we see a rocking Featherington carriage thereafter? Well, life is meant to be lived, dear listeners.

Later, we’ll be joining Benedict for an artistic retreat in the country where a chance encounter will lead to a time slip, a hidden necklace and a naked rake dripping in a lake.

Should this scandalous acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? Perhaps an offer from a gentleman might free him from a bind.
