'Bridgerton' Season 3, Part 1 Ending Explained: A Passionate Cliffhanger for Colin and Penelope
Discover the passionate cliffhanger ending of 'Bridgerton' Season 3, Part 1, focusing on Colin and Penelope's dramatic storyline.
The first part of Bridgerton season three is now streaming on Netflix, delving into the romantic story of Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington. The season begins with a heartbroken Penelope, who overheard Colin telling his friends last season that he would never court her. She decides to find a husband to gain independence and continue her secret life as Lady Whistledown.
The Journey of Colin and Penelope
Colin returns from his travels looking more charismatic than ever and offers to help Penelope find a suitable husband to make amends for his hurtful comments. Their secret courting lessons pay off when Penelope catches the eye of the wealthy Lord Debling, a naturalist who is drawn to her genuine personality. However, Colin begins to develop feelings for Penelope, becoming jealous as Debling courts her.
When Colin learns of Debling’s plans to propose, he interrupts the couple at the ball, telling Penelope that Debling is not the right man for her. Noticing their heated interaction, Debling suspects there is something more between Penelope and Colin, which Cressida, who has taken an interest in Debling herself, confirms.
At the end of part one, Debling tells Penelope he cannot propose to her due to her unresolved romantic feelings toward Colin. Distraught, Penelope rushes to her carriage, and Colin runs after her, forcing his way inside.
A Passionate Confession and a Cliffhanger
Inside the carriage, Colin confesses his intense feelings for Penelope, admitting that their first kiss has consumed him. Penelope admits that she, too, wants to be more than friends. Their passionate kiss leads to more as the carriage carries them towards their homes.
When they arrive at the Bridgerton house, Colin suggests they go inside and asks Penelope, “Are you going to marry me or not?” Penelope smiles back at him, but the scene ends before she can answer him, leaving viewers with a cliffhanger.
Showrunners Jess Brownell and Chris Van Dusen revealed that the moment was the perfect point to conclude part one, as it sets the stage for the shift in Penelope and Colin’s relationship in the upcoming episodes.
