Bridgerton Part 2 | Season 4, Episodes 3 & 4

In this episode of Call Me When They Kiss, we unpack all our thoughts and feelings on Bridgerton Season 4, Episodes 3 and 4. Some scenes had us swooning and glued to the screen, while others left us feeling frustrated and confused.

Benedict and Sophie’s relationship shifts and grows a LOT over these two episodes, and we chat about the complexities of their societal roles and what exactly is keeping them apart. What did you think of Benedict’s “proposal”? Because… we definitely have some thoughts.

We also dive into Eloise’s character growth (or lack thereof), Francesca and John’s relationship, and of course, Violet’s *blooming* desires.

We don’t shy away from the messier stuff though. We talk about the pacing of the season and how it affects our engagement, the challenges of balancing historical accuracy with creative liberties, and the way Bridgerton handles sexuality—which often feels full of double standards and contradictions.

Throughout it all, we keep coming back to how we, as the audience, bring our own expectations into the viewing experience, and how that shapes what lands and what doesn’t. Are we expecting too much, or is production and the new show-runner negatively impacting the direction of the show?

Come debrief with us. We don’t hold back, and you shouldn’t either. Let us know in the comments what you thought of the first part of Season 4!
