As the much-anticipated third season of "Bridgerton" graces our screens, fans of the Polin romance are in for a shock – the infamous carriage scene between Penelope and Colin is far more explicit in the books. For those of us who binge-watched the first four episodes, craving more of the couple's chemistry, it might be time to switch from screen to page, as Netflix decidedly toned down the original portrayal.
Dedicated readers of "The Bridgerton Series" would hardly find themselves surprised at the stark contrast between the book's intense carriage scene and its television adaptation. The love story of Penelope, revealed to be Mrs. Whistledown, and Colin unfolds in the fourth installation, a fact already known to viewers early in the previous season.
According to "Cosmopolitan," the book depicts the carriage scenario unfolding soon after Colin discovers Penelope's betrayal as Mrs. Whistledown. The confrontation begins with a questioning Colin following Penelope only to lead to an argument that blooms into a kiss.
As Penelope dubs herself an "ugly duckling," Colin earnestly convinces her of her beauty, deepening their connection.
It continues with Colin unable to contain himself, saying”I want to strip you bare and sink into you and never let you go” before he continues to make his way down south.
On arrival at the Bridgerton residence, like in the show, Colin asks his driver if he will continue their journey – they both laugh, catching their breath and share one last kiss before Colin pops the question to Pen. Two engagements in one night, what a queen.
Whether Pen says yes or not is something that we will have to wait for until June 13th to find out.
