, the time has finally come for the highly anticipated mirror scene. In Season 3 Part 2, after declaring his love, Colin makes love to Penelope . But even without any explicit dialogue, the scene cannot be separated from its Western audience and how we, as lovers of American media, have been trained to see bodies on screen. This is especially true if you’ve seen this romantic mirror trope before infor the first time.
Ever since then, I’ve imagined what it would feel like to have a man look at my flabby stomach, my stretch marks, my pimply chin, my uneven breasts, and tell me that I was beautiful. So, when I see Penelope and Colin standing in front of that mirror, I immediately think of that fantasy. And the thing is, I know I’m not the only one. For years, fans of the book series by Julia Quinn have imagined the mirror scene as one in whichin anticipation of Part 2’s release.
Though Kenworthy only has a handful of lines, she’s featured enough times throughout Season 3 that it’s obvious the show wants audiences to see that body diversity is welcome in Mayfair. The presence of Miss Kenworthy is meant to show that Mayfair is a world in which Penelope’s body wouldn’t affect her confidence. And it’s a strategy that might have worked — if only it had been implemented in Seasons 1 and 2.
I understand why fans want to hold onto the mirror scene as one of empowerment. It’s so rare to see a woman above a size 0 be desirable on screen, and as sad as it is, seeing Coughlan be the leading lady in a romancegroundbreaking. I want nothing more than for those who find comfort in the mirror scene to continue to do so. But for me, the mirror scene will always be tinged with sadness.
