Hello, everyone!

On today’s episode of The Adaptation, as promised, we are reviewing Bridgerton Season 3, Part 2. At the end of P1, we left off with Pen and Colin finally making the move from friends to lovers. The first half of the season finished with their iconic carriage scene, and Colin proposing to Pen. We all knew the second half of the season would be a complicated one: what would Colin do if he found out Pen was Lady Whistledown? What would Eloise do when she found out her ex-best friend was engaged to her brother? How would every other tiny subplot - of which there were hundreds - tie up amongst these big themes the show needs to cover?

Your hosts today were Zara McDonald (@zamcdonald), Eilish Gilligan (@eilishgilligan) and Anjana Khallouf (@anjanakhallouf).

This episode was audio produced by Annabelle Lee.
