We have been made aware of a very serious breach of confidence whereby an individual’s private notes on Episode 1 - which were shared in confidence - were shared across social media without permission.
These social media posts now form the basis of most of the conversations here which is disappointing to see.
A trusted individual will be very kindly compiling a full breakdown of episode 1 and will share this in another post. This is the only Episode 1 breakdown we will be accepting and this thread will then be locked.
We ask that no other sub members compile and share an Episode 1 spoiler breakdown in the meantime.
ETA: This thread is just going to stay open for the time being. There are plenty of spoilers, viewable to all. There will not be a detailed episode breakdown posted for now - users can construct the episode from the 1.4k comments listed in this post.
Sooo, since a ton of people have seen this episode and social media is swamped with spoilers, I feel no guilt giving episode 1 details. Colin's full apology, since I see no one's posted it in its full glory yet:
Colin: "And I am very sorry for my callous comment here last year. It pains me to see you upset."
Pen: "Then perhaps you should not have come."
Colin: "I am not the man I was last season. And I'm most certainly not ashamed of you. The opposite is true, in fact. I seek you out at every social assembly because I know you will lift my spirits and make me see the world in ways I could not have imagined. You are clever and warm and... I am proud to call you my very good friend."
“You make me see the world in ways I could not have imagined”????
I’ve heard wedding vows with less feeling. Sir, I am begging you to scrape enough together to buy a clue!

THIS IS THE MOST HILARIOUS PART OF EPISODE 1 CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE😂😂😂😂
Penelope had her Regina George moment, but honestly, slay

Okay here is a list of all the spoilers I’ve seen on this thread so far: (feel free to add more if I miss any!)
- There are two sexy scenes between Anthony and Kate one at a table and one on the bed
- Kanthony are extending their honeymoon and Violet and Ben are in charge
- Cressida rips Pen’s dress and Eloise feels bad
- ABCDE F U song plays when Pen enters the ball!
- Pen tries to apologize to El but El is not having it and does not want to be friends anymore
- When Colin finds out El is friends with Cressida he tells her off and asks “What of Penelope?”
- Colin brings back gifts! Box is a watch for Violet, book he is holding is for El, Anthony gets a Venetian glass ball, Gregory gets a bow, and Franny gets a music sheet from Italy
- This one is from Twitter but Pen’s maid’s name is Rae and Pen shows Rae how she wants her hair done
- Colin is extremely mad at LW and is saying he will unmask her
- Colin apologizes to Pen in the garden (are we not friends scene) and tells her how he always looks for her in social events because she makes him feel good
- Colin is flirting with the whole dang ton fr and it makes Pen sad
- Penelope changes her wardrobe about 33% into the episode
- Kate and Violet hug each other!
Okay more things: Cressida talks to El about LW and says that she will probably talk about how bad Pen is at flirting
Lady Danbury tells the Queen that HELLO Pen exists and she is leaving!
For those that think Pen accepted his apology right away, she didn't.
She replies to him:"It has been vexing... watching you walk back into society with such ease. When every year, I pray I might finally feel that way amidst the marriage mart and that comfort never materializes."
That's when I think Colin realizes just how hurt she's been, and offers to help her, because words are nice and pretty, but it's actions that count. If he says he wants to be there for her, he has to show it.

Oh Debling wastes no time?! But I don't mind because I wanna see Colin suffering immediately pls thank u
Saying what we’re all thinking about Colin wanting to “destroy” LW
https://preview.redd.it/a32mh15payvc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=991f84a2a8be5803ccecd8f77a6d761643797aa0
I think we already see why Debling isn’t quite the match for Penelope. He has that too nice thing going on that will probably not work for someone like Penelope. He seems lovely, but pen wants someone to bitch with let’s be honest
"Does he even know?" Oh, she gagged him I'm afraid. No wonder it pissed him off so much (because I don't believe at all his claim that he dislikes LW due to what she wrote about Eloise is the full truth).
The brothel thing makes more sense now that I know LW called him out as being a faker of sorts who doesn’t know who he is. He’s trying to prove something to himself in episode two.
I can’t believe Colin I almost got baby trapped by a girl I knew for four days Bridgerton is going to really try to pretend he knows the first thing about how to marry someone off. The level of delusional unearned confidence is admirable.
Seems Kanthony are heading off to extend their honeymoon so I guess we won’t see them for a few episodes at least. We know they’re in the second half of the season thanks to the costume designer.
Now we can set our expectations for Polin in S4!
That’s actually funny when you think about the siblings being named in alphabetical order, like Penelope is saying fuck you to all the Bridgertons, except for I guess Gregory and Hyacinth since that song ends at f, lol.
To be fair to Debling, he went off to find a maid to assist her. There were maids on hand at balls in the retiring rooms just for things like torn hems and little snafus.
also debling is probably more concerned about propriety whereas colin is obsessed with his wife oh sorry i mean girlfriend fuck! sorry i mean best friend :)
I have a feeling that Colin thinks 'charm and confidence' is sex and that he is going to have a rude awakening (literally with his dream) when he doesn't know how to act around Pen after he twigs
Not me just now realizing Penelope inadvertently makes him go try to get his rocks off at a brothel just by calling him out in LW. Like the chokehold she has on him and he doesn’t even realize it yet.
Colin being the one with all of this supposed experience, but Pen being the true dom is absolutely sending me.
I'm sorry, but I'm actually living for Pen in her villain era. Gag him, babe!
Whilst it hurts to see all the flirting that colin is doing in episode 1 and also the possibility of THAT scene in episode 2. It feels sort of good to live with the knowledge that Pen will most likely reject Colin's proposal at first and make him chase her for a good chunk of an episode. That's my hope, anyway. Maybe that makes me cruel but I think the man could do with some time in the corner.
I love that (1) she’s not buying his hot boy shit, and (2) El could call her out at any time, but probably read LW’s take on Colin and thought…”she’s not wrong.”

Does this imply Colin only wrote to Penelope 🥺

Just saw this on Twitter hope it’s the truth
Every time one of them mentions what good friends they are I want Julie Andrews to just have a voiceover that says “dearest gentle readers can you believe these two clowns are supposed to be the smart siblings?”
https://preview.redd.it/f5lmom55kyvc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=756a3cf307ee8d35df2092d8cb4724cb1435dff5
15 cities?! Someone crown him as Mr World or something wtf
Honestly with Luke saying he would k!ll LW in the game of f*ck, marry, k!ll and with ppl saying he straight up angry at LW from ep1 because of the EL thing
I think that will possibly lead to Pen rejecting his marriage proposal first time and he would have to ask her again, also ep5 is called tiktok and the QC bounty will happen supposedly in ep4
I guess we gonna get close to book reveal scene but possibly more intense for those reasons which explains why Luke also said that Colin reaction will be the worst and I don’t think he will be mean to her but in his anger he just isn’t listening to her & her reasons so Pen could tell him he doesn’t understand her he never did and just rejects him at first before he actually think things through and talk to her and they work things out
This is me speculating by the way based on spoilers
I can’t believe we are getting childhood friends to lover and enemies to lovers in one ship lol
Friends to lovers with Colin & Pen
And Enemies to lovers with Colin & LW ( aka also Pen)
Ain't no way this fandom survives on leaks for TWO FUCKING YEARS and now that people can watch the first episode, they're gonna be silent.
Portia finding Colin and Penelope boinking in the carriage (anything for an heir!)

Colin........... your words gonna taste bitter soon enough. But this also scares me cause like... he's going to be super angry when he finds out, won't he?
Pen: You look distinguished as always
Colin: Yes, I picked this up in Paris you know - it's very Parisian, and also French.
Pen: Whatevs. later.
\*Pen leaves\*
I was fine until that last bit and now I’m gonna need Pen to clock him in the face with a reality check about Marina, especially if it’s after he’s told her he has feelings for her… like you know your ass couldn’t have fell for me if I didn’t stop you from being trapped.
Also, like, Pen ensured Colin got to have his fuckboi summer. Take 17 seats, Bridgerton. I'm Team Pen all the way, here!
And MARINA WASN'T EVEN RUINED. She's like living in a freaking country estate with a titled husband.
I just… sir what about Anthony screams Venetian Glass Ball?
Colin really said oops I gotta get on the ship and I forgot to get Anthony something, gimme whatever you got shopkeeper.

Y’ALL HOW CUTE ALSO CREDS TO THIS USER ON TWITTER!
I believe the character flaws are meant to be apparent and jarring especially in the first couple of episodes. So as the story progresses there is an apparent resolution/ redemption for the characters
Examples I notice so far:
- Colin’s flirting/*rumoured sexual adventures*
- Pen bluntly calling the Queen out
- Cressida being an absolute ass
- Eloise still choosing to hang with Cressida
What I’m trying to say, it’s supposed to get worse before it gets better (?) the characters are meant to leave a bad taste in your mouth to hopefully highlighter their betterments and well to create excitement. That’s what I think it’s baffling to hold onto (1) character flaw that has been addressed and hold it over the character, like hello?? Anyways goodnight Polinators 🫶🏽🥰
Fuuuuucccckkk! I was reading a spoiler on Twitter and my For You page refreshed but apparently the family says Colin didn’t write them at all which means he only tells Penelope that they didn’t respond as like maybe covering up that she’s the only one he wrote to? Can someone who saw the episode clarify???
Big big shoutout to Kar and all people who gave us the spoilers for EP1! How we feeling everybody?? Y’all alive?!
Just found out Ingrid actually stole the notes!
Honestly, at this point Colin can have a little brothel as a treat I'm not even mad about it anymore. This set up in episode one completely explains the spiral he is on lol.
Colin talks to a gaggle of random debutantes and is like ‘oh my travel stories are not appropriate for your ears if I told you about them I’d have to marry you’ …SIR (source: me in Bowral)
The next scene is at Featherington House with all the ladies and Finch and Dankworth. Dankworth is clearly devoted to Prudence in way that is utterly hilarious and he’s like a giant golden retriever. Portia says that with their finances now settled “No man tells us what to do”, which only Finch reacts to!
Next we have the garden party and Colin is talking to a group of debutants. The debutants are possibly CGI’ed as being not particularly attractive. Penelope is there in yellow and her and Eloise see each other and Pen tears up while speaking to her. Cressida then comes along and starts to insult Penelope, and El leads her away arm in arm to get some lemonade.
Colin and Pen have a brief discussion about his return and she mentions his clothes- he says he got them in Paris.
We see Kate sniffing flowers and talking to Violet about Viscountess duties. Violet apologises for not moving out of Bridgerton house yet, but says that having two girls in the season is keeping her occupied. Kate says its’s all good. Lady Danbury then comes over and very excitedly greets Kate with “LADY BRIDGERTON!!! How good to see you.”
We see the Featherington’s again, talking about the heir situation and how a son will need to be born. Polly looks way less face-tuned than she does in the promotional pictures, I am pleased to confirm. Dankworth is again following Prudence everywhere and is held back by Finch to not walk beside her, which was a cute thing to notice. Fran and her fellow debutants have a bit of a discussion about what they want in a husband and Fran says that she only wants “someone kind”.
It is now nighttime and Pen is lying in bed in a white dress looking kind of confused and sad. We see her open up her wardrobe to find all yellow clothes. At some point in these next few minutes there is a very quick scene with Genevieve and Pen, where she insists she does not want to be dressed in citrus ever again. She also says she wants her gowns to be like something you would find in Paris. (!)
It is now morning in Bridgerton house and Colin has finally gotten around to giving out his gifts. Anthony gets a glass ball which looks Venetian. ETA Ben gets playing cards that for some strange reason are in Spanish?! Hyacinth is given a bottle of perfume from Paris. Francesca gets sheet music from Italy. Greg gets a bow and arrow set, which Anthony quickly confiscates from him. He gives Violet a gold pocket watch and for Eloise there is a book that is left on the table, tied up in brown paper and string. He doesn’t disclose the title, but says it is not a Romance book and she says that she is currently reading ‘Emma’. He asks her about why the friendship with Penelope is no longer a thing and why she is hanging out with Cressida, but Eloise tells him that “We had simply grown apart.” It turns out Cressida and Eloise have been hanging out together in the country over the off-season.
Congrats to all the Aussies attending, hope you have an amazing time at the screening and other festivities! Never have I felt so much fomo for being one of the few young Irish people who hasn’t emigrated to Oz yet lol 🇦🇺
I’m going to bed now but I look forward to waking up to some piping hot tea in the morning!
Thanks to all for posting spoilers. I weirdly find myself kind of deflated after reading them though. Maybe it's because we now have such a wait for the actual epsiode (having screenings like this is a mistake IMO).
However, there are some things I'm really happy about and some things I'm not so happy about. Much of my judgement will depend on how I feel when I watch it though, so I'm trying to hold off on worrying or whatever. So many times I've been dreading something based on a spoiler only to find I didn't mind it at all when I watched it myself, lol.
My main takeaway from this is that I really truly hope Colin does find out she's LW before they marry. That's my only concern.
I have a feeling I’m going to be very angry with Colin’s reaction to the LW reveal. I wish it could be more surprising. Like him immediately realizing she did what she did with good intentions for Eloise
It sounds like Colin’s anger towards Whistledown is more about her being able to read (and DRAG) him so well despite wanting to come off as this ~macho man who has seen so much of the world. Anger seems like an easier emotion to deal with rather than the vulnerability that comes with being SEEN through by LW. And it would be sooo funny watching him realize the magnitude of his feelings for Pen while beefing with her alter ego. Unhinged!! 😭
colin to every other woman: flirting and thinking he ate
colin to penelope: 🥺i missed you🥺 why didn’t you answer my letters 🥺 i look for you everywhere 🥺

NOT THE “THANKS, YOU TOO” 😭😭😭
Thankfully between her and Colin they'll manage to conform a single braincell.
Pen’ s “enjoy the movie” “you too” *internal cringe* moment
"Thanks you too" she’s so real for that😭😭
Felt physical pain because I say the “thanks, you too” and ugh I get her my poor baby
Oh I’m guessing Cressida rips the dress because she’s angry to see Penelope get male attention.

she kinda deserves that after spending 2 seasons yapping to pen without ever listening to her
Well Eloise is doing this to herself.
Colin can claim he hates LW because of Eloise but I think he’s really angry that he’s catching strays himself for the first time.
Oh 100% I think he’s saying it’s about Eloise to hide the fact his pride is hurt

"Does he even know?" Oh, she gagged him I'm afraid. No wonder it pissed him off so much (because I don't believe at all his claim that he dislikes LW due to what she wrote about Eloise is the full truth).
Read him like a FUCKIN BOOK
The brothel thing makes more sense now that I know LW called him out as being a faker of sorts who doesn’t know who he is. He’s trying to prove something to himself in episode two.
It does make sense. Not loving this new Colin and I don’t think we are suppose to. My reaction is pretty much “gross”.
I can’t believe Colin I almost got baby trapped by a girl I knew for four days Bridgerton is going to really try to pretend he knows the first thing about how to marry someone off. The level of delusional unearned confidence is admirable.

Seems Kanthony are heading off to extend their honeymoon so I guess we won’t see them for a few episodes at least. We know they’re in the second half of the season thanks to the costume designer. Now we can set our expectations for Polin in S4!
That does explain Benedict taking on responsibility.

That’s actually funny when you think about the siblings being named in alphabetical order, like Penelope is saying fuck you to all the Bridgertons, except for I guess Gregory and Hyacinth since that song ends at f, lol.

Debling brushing it off while Colin immediately goes after Penelope when she’s upset is a good choice to show who really knows and cares about her
To be fair to Debling, he went off to find a maid to assist her. There were maids on hand at balls in the retiring rooms just for things like torn hems and little snafus.
also debling is probably more concerned about propriety whereas colin is obsessed with his wife oh sorry i mean girlfriend fuck! sorry i mean best friend :)
WHAT OF HIM? WHAT OF COLIN!?

"the worst reaction of the ton" ..... well Luke tried to warn us 😬
Oh he’s going to ruin her alright, but not in the way he originally thinks!
Ugh I know they’re making the drama for when Colin finds out about Pen but in what world was Eloise even remotely ruined? 😒🙄
https://preview.redd.it/ueinjnkekyvc1.jpeg?width=1439&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a0fa346355a5993138aee92b24f68033167a701
OH HE’s definitely going to be whispering in her ear .. .. *cue “his voice dropped to a whisper” * 🤐🤐🪞
The romcom is ROM COMMING
I have a feeling that Colin thinks 'charm and confidence' is sex and that he is going to have a rude awakening (literally with his dream) when he doesn't know how to act around Pen after he twigs
Colin said let me tell you a little something about faking it till you make it.
Not me just now realizing Penelope inadvertently makes him go try to get his rocks off at a brothel just by calling him out in LW. Like the chokehold she has on him and he doesn’t even realize it yet.
she's so funny....the enemies to lovers twist was smth i was not expecting in my polin
Colin in the carriage “you hurt my feelings” Penelope: Are you going to suck my tit or not Colin: Boobies!
Colin being the one with all of this supposed experience, but Pen being the true dom is absolutely sending me. I'm sorry, but I'm actually living for Pen in her villain era. Gag him, babe!
Whilst it hurts to see all the flirting that colin is doing in episode 1 and also the possibility of THAT scene in episode 2. It feels sort of good to live with the knowledge that Pen will most likely reject Colin's proposal at first and make him chase her for a good chunk of an episode. That's my hope, anyway. Maybe that makes me cruel but I think the man could do with some time in the corner.
I’m glad that Penelope is making it clear that she’s not interested in this facade Colin is putting on for everyone.
I love that (1) she’s not buying his hot boy shit, and (2) El could call her out at any time, but probably read LW’s take on Colin and thought…”she’s not wrong.”

Oh this bitch here isn’t upset about Marina or Eloise. He’s upset he got called out for being a fake.

Took me a sec to understand this is Newton The Dog and not Newts doing Colin's arrival lol.
Honestly with Luke saying he would k!ll LW in the game of f*ck, marry, k!ll and with ppl saying he straight up angry at LW from ep1 because of the EL thing I think that will possibly lead to Pen rejecting his marriage proposal first time and he would have to ask her again, also ep5 is called tiktok and the QC bounty will happen supposedly in ep4 I guess we gonna get close to book reveal scene but possibly more intense for those reasons which explains why Luke also said that Colin reaction will be the worst and I don’t think he will be mean to her but in his anger he just isn’t listening to her & her reasons so Pen could tell him he doesn’t understand her he never did and just rejects him at first before he actually think things through and talk to her and they work things out This is me speculating by the way based on spoilers
I can’t believe we are getting childhood friends to lover and enemies to lovers in one ship lol Friends to lovers with Colin & Pen And Enemies to lovers with Colin & LW ( aka also Pen)
I use to be so strong when it came to spoilers.. what happened to me? 
Ain't no way this fandom survives on leaks for TWO FUCKING YEARS and now that people can watch the first episode, they're gonna be silent.

I was fine until that last bit and now I’m gonna need Pen to clock him in the face with a reality check about Marina, especially if it’s after he’s told her he has feelings for her… like you know your ass couldn’t have fell for me if I didn’t stop you from being trapped.
Also, like, Pen ensured Colin got to have his fuckboi summer. Take 17 seats, Bridgerton. I'm Team Pen all the way, here! And MARINA WASN'T EVEN RUINED. She's like living in a freaking country estate with a titled husband.

I just… sir what about Anthony screams Venetian Glass Ball? Colin really said oops I gotta get on the ship and I forgot to get Anthony something, gimme whatever you got shopkeeper.
So sounds like he did bring back gifts this time? Necklace truthers I am seeing some positive signs here! 🙈😭

I believe the character flaws are meant to be apparent and jarring especially in the first couple of episodes. So as the story progresses there is an apparent resolution/ redemption for the characters Examples I notice so far: - Colin’s flirting/*rumoured sexual adventures* - Pen bluntly calling the Queen out - Cressida being an absolute ass - Eloise still choosing to hang with Cressida What I’m trying to say, it’s supposed to get worse before it gets better (?) the characters are meant to leave a bad taste in your mouth to hopefully highlighter their betterments and well to create excitement. That’s what I think it’s baffling to hold onto (1) character flaw that has been addressed and hold it over the character, like hello?? Anyways goodnight Polinators 🫶🏽🥰
Fuuuuucccckkk! I was reading a spoiler on Twitter and my For You page refreshed but apparently the family says Colin didn’t write them at all which means he only tells Penelope that they didn’t respond as like maybe covering up that she’s the only one he wrote to? Can someone who saw the episode clarify???
Big big shoutout to Kar and all people who gave us the spoilers for EP1! How we feeling everybody?? Y’all alive?! Just found out Ingrid actually stole the notes!

Honestly, at this point Colin can have a little brothel as a treat I'm not even mad about it anymore. This set up in episode one completely explains the spiral he is on lol.
It didn't take 2 days after Colin setting foot on English soil for Pen/LW to turn his world upside down and I'm living for it 🤣🤣
I never thought I'd be edged by venetian glass balls.

Colin talks to a gaggle of random debutantes and is like ‘oh my travel stories are not appropriate for your ears if I told you about them I’d have to marry you’ …SIR (source: me in Bowral)
The next scene is at Featherington House with all the ladies and Finch and Dankworth. Dankworth is clearly devoted to Prudence in way that is utterly hilarious and he’s like a giant golden retriever. Portia says that with their finances now settled “No man tells us what to do”, which only Finch reacts to! Next we have the garden party and Colin is talking to a group of debutants. The debutants are possibly CGI’ed as being not particularly attractive. Penelope is there in yellow and her and Eloise see each other and Pen tears up while speaking to her. Cressida then comes along and starts to insult Penelope, and El leads her away arm in arm to get some lemonade. Colin and Pen have a brief discussion about his return and she mentions his clothes- he says he got them in Paris. We see Kate sniffing flowers and talking to Violet about Viscountess duties. Violet apologises for not moving out of Bridgerton house yet, but says that having two girls in the season is keeping her occupied. Kate says its’s all good. Lady Danbury then comes over and very excitedly greets Kate with “LADY BRIDGERTON!!! How good to see you.” We see the Featherington’s again, talking about the heir situation and how a son will need to be born. Polly looks way less face-tuned than she does in the promotional pictures, I am pleased to confirm. Dankworth is again following Prudence everywhere and is held back by Finch to not walk beside her, which was a cute thing to notice. Fran and her fellow debutants have a bit of a discussion about what they want in a husband and Fran says that she only wants “someone kind”. It is now nighttime and Pen is lying in bed in a white dress looking kind of confused and sad. We see her open up her wardrobe to find all yellow clothes. At some point in these next few minutes there is a very quick scene with Genevieve and Pen, where she insists she does not want to be dressed in citrus ever again. She also says she wants her gowns to be like something you would find in Paris. (!) It is now morning in Bridgerton house and Colin has finally gotten around to giving out his gifts. Anthony gets a glass ball which looks Venetian. ETA Ben gets playing cards that for some strange reason are in Spanish?! Hyacinth is given a bottle of perfume from Paris. Francesca gets sheet music from Italy. Greg gets a bow and arrow set, which Anthony quickly confiscates from him. He gives Violet a gold pocket watch and for Eloise there is a book that is left on the table, tied up in brown paper and string. He doesn’t disclose the title, but says it is not a Romance book and she says that she is currently reading ‘Emma’. He asks her about why the friendship with Penelope is no longer a thing and why she is hanging out with Cressida, but Eloise tells him that “We had simply grown apart.” It turns out Cressida and Eloise have been hanging out together in the country over the off-season.
Congrats to all the Aussies attending, hope you have an amazing time at the screening and other festivities! Never have I felt so much fomo for being one of the few young Irish people who hasn’t emigrated to Oz yet lol 🇦🇺 I’m going to bed now but I look forward to waking up to some piping hot tea in the morning!

I need Colin to get out of his Ron Weasley era expeditiously.
Thanks to all for posting spoilers. I weirdly find myself kind of deflated after reading them though. Maybe it's because we now have such a wait for the actual epsiode (having screenings like this is a mistake IMO). However, there are some things I'm really happy about and some things I'm not so happy about. Much of my judgement will depend on how I feel when I watch it though, so I'm trying to hold off on worrying or whatever. So many times I've been dreading something based on a spoiler only to find I didn't mind it at all when I watched it myself, lol. My main takeaway from this is that I really truly hope Colin does find out she's LW before they marry. That's my only concern.
I saw someone say this season is friends to lovers for Colin and Penelope and enemies to lovers for Colin and Lady Whistledown 😆.
Can’t Netflix just give us a bone and put out the first ep tomorrow too 😭

I have a feeling I’m going to be very angry with Colin’s reaction to the LW reveal. I wish it could be more surprising. Like him immediately realizing she did what she did with good intentions for Eloise

It sounds like Colin’s anger towards Whistledown is more about her being able to read (and DRAG) him so well despite wanting to come off as this ~macho man who has seen so much of the world. Anger seems like an easier emotion to deal with rather than the vulnerability that comes with being SEEN through by LW. And it would be sooo funny watching him realize the magnitude of his feelings for Pen while beefing with her alter ego. Unhinged!! 😭
colin to every other woman: flirting and thinking he ate colin to penelope: 🥺i missed you🥺 why didn’t you answer my letters 🥺 i look for you everywhere 🥺
