Rakes of the ton, beware – Violet Bridgerton is on the warpath.

Join us as we raise our kites in honour of the Benophie New Year and celebrate the long-awaited arrival of the Season 4 Part 1 trailer.

With our maid pinafores freshly starched for the year ahead, we’ll be taking a trip downstairs where we'll find Sophie a good costume for one glorious night and grab the mop and bucket to clean up the aftermath of an alphabetic shaving cream fight.

Across the square, we’ll also be helping Penelope tie a mask on a pirate’s mast before we sneak into a ballroom with Hy, waltz in the bandstand and impatiently await a midnight unmasking. And if we see a rocking Featherington carriage thereafter? Well, life is meant to be lived, dear listeners.

Later, we’ll be joining Benedict for an artistic retreat in the country where a chance encounter will lead to a time slip, a hidden necklace and a naked rake dripping in a lake.

Should this scandalous acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? Perhaps an offer from a gentleman might free him from a bind.

Happy Wedding Eve, one and all.

Yep, we’re swapping boughs of holly for bouquets of larkspur as Penelope and Colin finally nod their way down the aisle in Part 2 of our S3E7 rewatch.

Following a late night of secret dealings, marriage counselling and a little horsing around, we’ll be wiping the dust from our eyes and taking our seats next to a gaggle of redheads for the nuptials of the season.

Once we’ve joined Pen and Colin in holy matrimony, we’ll be admiring swan cakes and chasing jelly moulds before a royal gatecrasher puts our wedding night plans in peril. Let’s hope that sofa’s comfy, Colin.

But if things are looking a little bleak for our newlyweds, then worry not. If we take a peek beneath the Christmas tree, we might just catch a glimpse of the happy couple kissing underneath the mistletoe.

You know we love them so.

The worst reaction out of everyone in the ton? Well, he is a sensitive boy.

With a secret out in the open and an engagement up in the air, we have our social calendar full this week as we begin our rewatch of S3E7 Joining of Hands.

As we plan the most elaborate wedding breakfast of the season, we’ll be checking the diaries of the Smythe-Smith quintet, finding a hair tie for a heartbroken ponytail and taking a trip across town to check the marital status of an old friend.

Elsewhere, we’ll be eavesdropping on a staircase confrontation between an uncommonly lucky Eloise and a commonly entrapped Colin, before baiting our nets to catch a sad little rainbow fish over at Featherington House.

But beware, dearest listeners: we hear an imposter is on the loose. And gossip as we might, we cannot tolerate a lie. Isn’t that right, Penelope?
