Bridgerton season 4 has finally hit Netflix, and if you binge-watched all of part 1 this weekend, you’re probably left feeling some major frustration.
Not sexual frustration—actual genuine frustration at this season’s lead, Benedict Bridgerton, the free-spirited second son of the Bridgerton family. Up until this point, we’ve watched him skip through each social season with his silly antics and flirtatious charm. He’s partaken in orgies and dabbled in some art. But we haven’t really seen him challenged by anything or anyone until he falls in love with the masked Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball.
But just when you think the ton’s eternal bachelor is about to settle down, poof! The Lady in Silver disappears without a trace.

Most of Bridgerton season 4, part 1, sees Benedict on a mission to find this mysterious lady and, when his efforts come up empty, drinking his sorrows away. While attending a party in the countryside doing just that, he ends up saving a lowly maid named Sophie Baek. Something about her is familiar to him, though Benedict can’t quite put a finger on it.
If, at this point, you jumped up from your seat like Leonard DiCaprio in that pointing meme, it’s because we, as an audience, know that Sophie is the Lady in Question. However, Benedict ultimately (and epically) fails to recognise her. Even worse, he ends up taking Sophie to his country estate, My Cottage, where the two develop a romance. His obsession with the Lady in Silver is at complete odds with his feelings for Sophie, resulting in a love triangle consisting of two (2!) people.
