Can I just talk about how beautiful Kate looks as a Viscountess? And the dress? The way they made her style very Indian and desi? Even her jewelleries are gold and jhumka-like? As a dark skinned brown girl who have faced colourism in her own country, watching Simone Ashley as Kate Sharma healed me. And seeing her wearing a proper indian gown and looking every bit of Indian as she is, in a mainstream popular english series and shown as an 'object of desire' and a beauty? I can't even explain how much it means. I'm glad they didn’t try to make her into a British lady, making her wear very victorian english gowns. Instead they let her have her own style, own cultural influence. I mean you can literally wear her entire look in a South Asian wedding and it will actually be very much in style.

Thank you Bridgerton. Thank you Shondaland. You healed something in me you didn’t even break.

But, Molly, the way he kisses her in the middle of the damn ballroom like a whore and is so fucking pleased with himself afterwards.

Violet really can't take them anywhere.

Ugh, there’s so much of their new dynamic to unpack here.

First the fact that Francesca says she wants a second to herself and Anthony’s like-

“You do you Boo, have fun kids.”

He never would have done that when Daphne was making her debut. Never.

Then there’s the fact that he catches Kate’s eye across the room and the second their eyes meet she smiles at him as though she can’t help herself.

The little tilt of his head as he walks towards her like “Tell me not to come over if you’re busy 1-2-3 too late. I’m on my way!”

The fact that he’s talking to his MOTHER and he’s still like “Mum, Kate’s really pretty! She’s beautiful! She’s my wife! Did I mention that she was my wife? I want to dance! Come on let’s dance!”

(Kate and Violet are obviously talking about something and I love that they don’t seem to have a contentious relationship at all)

Then there’s the dancing. They’re not even wearing GLOVES. It mirrors the movements of their final dance in season 2 but they don’t have to stare longingly at one another anymore. They’re in love and the entire ton knows it. So Anthony takes the opportunity and sluts it up.

Her playful little gasp?

His little smirk?

The fact that the flashes of colour on his waistcoat match her dress perfectly???

The fact that last season they used her hair loosening to show the moments she was most herself and they were mostly when she and Anthony were alone and here she is with half her hair down at a society function because she feels more comfortable in herself with Anthony???

I need to call out sick from work today to recover
