S3 E8 - The Failed Seduction

Dearest Gentle Listeners,Today we watch Colin and Pen formulate their plan all while Cressida is clutching at her blackmail as her only hope.  We see the power of Penelope writing the best letters and how they are received by the two most important women to her plan.  We also see Varley learning of her wealth from Whistledown with a very different reaction than Portia gave.  Finally, we meet Aunt Johanna, who is even worse than Lord Cowper and we feel a pang of empathy for Cressida even when she is being mean to our Polin.  This scene is like many comeback story movies where they plan to take power back from the villain and I am rooting for our couple as I did for Kevin McAllister or the Newsies or any other ragtag group putting a plan together to save their town or school or whatever needs saving.  Yours Truly,The Ladies Bridgerton
