Welcome to our second episode on Bridgerton, season three! Picking up where we left off, we jump right into close reading Polin’s main sex scenes. From there, we think about what made us adore the side plots through discussion of Benedict, Francesca, and Violet’s storylines this season.
Note: there are Bridgerton book spoilers from (37:36 - 38:14) and again from (39:27 - 39:47).
