Colin and Penelope | S2E8 | Part 2

Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington during the second season of Bridgerton, episode 8.

In episode 8, right after exposing Lord Featherington’s plans, Colin breaks Penelope’s heart.

The ending scene where Pen overhears him telling the other men he would never court her makes me so sad for her and it's so much more traitorous than in the books :( Not only did he break her heart by talking of her in that way, but he also ruined any possibility of her having suitors in the future. I have a deep need for season 3 to show Penelope letting her inner bad chick come out in the open and also to have him literally pining after her because she honestly deserves it after all this.

she fell first but he fell harder trope is about to be aired i cant wait

some y’all in the comments really do be giving men too much credit. just admit that colin was a total ass here. no one deserves to be talked like that behind their backs. it’s quite literally fucked up. no matter the relationship or reasoning

I hate the fact that Colin goes from like he just “saved” them from scandal, he asks Pen if she’s okay, he dances with her, tells her he’ll always look out for her and that she’s special to him - like that’s all like be still by Polin shipper heart.

But not ten minutes later Colin turns around and says to other men (probably not intending to be malicious but 🙈) and say oh yeah I wouldn’t dream of courting Pen, like that’s a mad notion.

Like honestly Colin I loved you but that is a horrible thing to say. You need to pick a lane, either you will protect her always or you will ruin her, stop with the mixed signals she deserves better.

It was so much crueler than in the books. In the books Colin only talked with his brothers, and he only said that because they teased him and he got defensive. He was already unsure of his feelings and wanted his brothers to leave him alone. He wouldn't in a million years would have said any of it, knowing she heard

I can’t watch this without hearing Nicola Coughlan joking about her hair in this scene in one of her PR videos.

“That’s the scene in which Colin was like ‘I would never court Penelope Featherington’ and I’m like ‘IS IT BECAUSE OF MY HUGE BUN 😩’”

[midwestern.berner]

It took me a minute to really understand the implications of the things Colin says about Penelope. Its not even just his words, its his actions.

Those other men saw him dancing with Penelope. Just that simple exchange of time could have boosted her chances to have a few suitors.

But he more or less dashes those chances by stating he'd never court Penelope. He may not have meant to hurt her or ruin her chances, but he did.

Watching Penelope make him eat his words next season is going to give me life❤😊

_“Are you courting the girl, Bridgerton?”_
_“You mean my wife?!”_

Friends to lovers I love Polin so muchh

[AH_]

Penelope is going to make him regret that so hard next month 😂😂

[ameliaflynnhayes]

This is my favourite moment of them dancing them together but the ending was sad

[nloubriel]

*1:09**-**1:29*
OH
HOW THOSE WORDS WILL SO BE BITTING HIM RIGHT BACK
😎😆

[Cupcakeruple]

Dancing has always been their love language with each other 😭😭😭

[ammdakin]

This is why a group chat is dangerous 😂 Anthony suffered because of leaked group chat, too.

[aikading]

I hate the way they changed this scene. In the books, Colin was only talking to his brothers because their mother kept bringing up Penelope to him. He would never forsake her in front of strangers in such a demeaning way.

[yvonnejaime]

❤❤❤ I can't wait to see these two for the third season!!! I can't wait to see him get jealous of other men loving Penelope. I want to see the passion and desire 💓 we all see between them.

[olafthesnowman]

I really do wish they'd follow the books more in book colin and his brothers are talking and pen overhears them and there is quite an interesting conversation ahead it would've been such fun if it was included in the movie

[thesilentreader]

Some of you are forgetting.. he'll never dream of courting her.. he didn't court her. He asked for marriage.. STRAIGHT AWAY! He did dream of kissing her, so yeah there's that

[yaminoonna]

Here after the carriage scene is season 3

[nicole_gemmell]

I cant wait for him to GROVEL in season 3
