If you’ve ever sat through a period drama wondering what everyone else is up to while the romantic leads dominate 90% of the screen time, then “Bridgerton” Season 3 Part 2 is for you.

It’s not that Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton don’t make an arresting couple. It’s just that we’ve known they were in the cards since day one. With a longer arc than either of the first two seasons’ pairings, their story leaves more room for others to breathe. This installment is stuffed with B-plot, and though it may be less aspirational than Daphne and the Duke’s erotic union, a lot of it’s far more relatable.

There’s nothing duller than discovering one of your nearest and dearest is about to be lost to coupledom and hasn’t at any point asked your advice about it, or even had the decency to leave you with a scintillating account to chew over. It’s another dimension of the bereavement Eloise feels at Colin and Penelope’s wedding breakfast. Welling up, she tells her other brother Benedict she’s simply shedding “tears at losing another friend to marriage.
