59. Money For Nothing

In this first part of the final episode of this season, all appears to be despair. Sophie is missing, presumed at sea, but in reality in prison thanks to the capricious whims of her stepmother. Benedict and the rest of the Bridgertons are facing their own scandals and heartbreak, and it appears that all will be lost. But this is Bridgerton, and there is still time for old friends to rise, new villains to fall, and shoes to play an important plot role.
