Sounds like a recipe for a great marriage! Lord Featherington is killed.Įarlier in the series, the patriarch of the Featherington family is shown to have a gambling addiction so intense that he can't afford his daughters' dowries. In return, Anthony vows in the final moments of season one to find himself a viscountess as soon as possible, and preferably one who is the most sensible choice, rather than a romantic match. Though Anthony finally made the brave choice to start treating the aforementioned lover, opera singer Siena Rosso (Sabrina Bartlett), as an actual human being with needs and feelings toward the end of the series, it was too little, too late, and Siena (rightfully) kicked him to the curb, preferring to stay in her fancy house with a man who "does not wish for to change." Speaking of people who like to control women's lives with no regard for the women's own desires.! Anthony, played by Jonathan Bailey, was by far the most frustrating character of the series, most prominently in the hypocrisy he showed while almost ruining his sister Daphne's chances of finding a suitable husband due to his own prejudices and bad judgment, but, in the meantime, carrying on an illicit affair of his own with a lover deemed "unsuitable" by society. (Image credit: Nick Briggs/Netflix) Anthony Bridgerton decides to get serious about finding a wife. As if that wasn't enough for one young lady to deal with, shortly after a failed attempt to induce an abortion by ingesting a truly gnarly concoction of herbs and spices, Marina found out that the father of her child had died in battle. She set her sights on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton), only to have those plans crumble when said "condition" was exposed by Lady Whistledown (much more on her later). First, she was sent to live with her distant and mostly terrible cousins, the Featheringtons, to arrange a shotgun wedding that would cover up her disastrous "condition," a.k.a. Marina (played by Ruby Barker) had a rough go of it this season. Marina Thompson accepts Sir Phillip Crane's proposal. Judging by the way Simon and Daphne seem physically incapable of keeping their hands off one another, it won't be surprising if they get way deeper into the alphabet than the Bridgertons' A-to-H. Plus, in a sweet nod to Daphne's own alphabetically arranged family, Simon announces that their son's name must start with an A. It's a blissful moment for the couple, who spent the entire season veering wildly between moments of intense passion and seemingly deal-breaking arguments, and seem to have finally found peace in a relationship that, like any good one, began as a farce and blossomed into a betrothal only to avoid a deathly duel. In the finale, Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) is shown giving birth to the future Duke of Hastings (that is, unless Simon, played by Regé-Jean Page, finds a way to renounce the title completely before his death) with her husband by her side.
