Bridgerton Recap: A Lover of Pleasure
"The difficulty of introducing a new character we will believe is capable of sweeping one of our beloved Bridgertons off their feet is no small feat. Especially since, by now, the Bridgertons feel like family to us. What I am trying to say is that the introduction of Miss Sophie Baek hits the nail directly on the head, and I am quite possibly head over heels in love with her."
"She doesn't even have time to find scissors to finish the new mask, so she simply grabs the nearest cleaver and hacks off the end of the fabric. The bell rings, and Sophie is summoned. "Pray for me that I do not commit murder this evening," she begs her friends Irma and Alfie. The fact that she still holds the cleaver in a death grip is worrying to them, but I am ready to commit to marriage!"
Benedict furiously sketches dreamy images of the Lady in Silver before the scene rewinds to reveal Miss Sophie Baek removing a gorgeous mask. Yerin Ha conveys a half-sad, half-wistful smile that signals Sophie’s weary resilience. Sophie must craft a second mask while managing preparations for Lady Penwood and her daughters, and she resorts to hacking fabric with a cleaver when scissors are unavailable. Sophie pleads, "Pray for me that I do not commit murder this evening," blending dark humor with strain. Lady Penwood and Rosamund treat Sophie cruelly, forcing a spiteful apology that accuses her of envy and sabotage, while Posy appears gentle and mistreated.
