LONDON, ENGLAND: 'Bridgerton' Season 3: Part 1 concludes sooner than expected. Consisting of four episodes, released simultaneously on Netflix, on May 16, 2024, Penelope Featherington's (Nicola Coughlan) chase for love comes into the spotlight.

However, one can't miss Bridgertons' attempts to find a suitable match for Francesca Bridgerton (Hannah Dodd).

The legacy of the family paired with her unparalleled charm and beauty attracts several suitors, only to cause a dilemma of choice.

Next in line, in the Bridgerton family to marry, is Francesca. Since the beginning of the season, she is seen on a hunt to find the right match for herself.

By Episode 4, she gets two callers expressing their interest. One is John Stirling, Earl of Kilmartin. He is a man of few words and carries a reserved personality.

On the other hand is Lord Samadani, popular for his handsomeness.

Though initially interested in Stirling, Francesca loses her interest in him after their awkward conversation on the street, followed by Stirling escorting himself abruptly.

However, she again crosses paths with the two eligible bachelors at a social gathering and faces the difficulty of choosing yet again.

'Bridgerton' Season 3 Episode 4 leaves us on a cliffhanger. However, it does hint at whom Francesca might eventually choose.

After an abrupt meeting, Stirling meets Francesca at the ball and offers her a letter. He mentions that although he is not good with his words, he believes in gestures.

The letter provided by Stirling prompts Francesca to return home, leaving Samadani and his lemonade to themselves.

Towards the end of the episode, we see Francesca glowing with happiness as she plays the notes in the letter, on her piano. Stirling had got the notes of a song rearranged as per her preference as a gesture of his liking towards her.

The scene hints that she has finally found the love of her life. Though Part 1 ends without Francesca announcing her decision, we speculate wedding bells to ring in the Bridgerton family in Part 2.
