Bridgerton: Season 1, Episode 7 “Oceans Apart” (B+)
Well, this was an eventful episode, one that brought certain truths to light and seemed to close the door on a few open-ended possibilities. I’m impressed that I made it to this point, more than six months after the show premiered, without accidentally finding out who Lady Whistledown was, especially because I had read that her reveal was a major moment of the season. It’s not entirely confirmed yet that it’s Genevieve even though Eloise has come to that conclusion, and she’s not a major character but one who is indeed around people who don’t necessarily notice her and air their dirty laundry without any concern for who might be listening. It’s unfortunate timing that the queen gave up on Eloise as an investigator less than an hour before she discovered the truth, but learning who she is will surely put an end to her publication, which the ton does quite enjoy having around even if most would never want to have their names printed in its pages for fear of scandal. Daphne rushed back home to support her family and did her best to help find happiness for Colin and Marina, but Colin’s sense of feeling betrayed was too much for him to consider anything different, and the humiliation Marina is living with appears to have encouraged her to take drastic measures and may have proven fatal. Simon was finally honest with Daphne about his reasons for not wanting children, and she was right to call him out on caring more about vengeance he wanted to get on a dead man than making her happy. Lord Featherington’s plan to return his family to proper stature is risky, and not likely to go off without a hitch.
