Plot Threads: Benedict, the Lady in Silver and Sophie Beckett
Season 4 centers on Benedict Bridgerton as he reluctantly agrees to seek a wife after pressure from his mother and London society. At a masquerade ball he encounters a mysterious "Lady in Silver, " calls her "the most intriguing person I've ever met, " shares a romantic garden moment and watches her disappear at midnight. Behind the mask is identified in the material as Sophie Beckett, described as the illegitimate daughter of an earl who, after her father's death, was forced into servitude by a cruel stepmother.
Benedict sets out to find the Lady in Silver with only a white glove as a clue. Their paths re-cross in the countryside when Benedict rescues Sophie from a group of drunken men during a rainstorm, brings her to his nearby cottage to recover, nurses his injuries and begins to lower his guard. They share a kiss by the lake while Benedict remains unaware the woman he is falling for is the masked stranger. Later, Sophie is hired as a maid in the Bridgerton household at Benedict's request, and lingering glances and mounting jealousy make it clear their feelings are mutual even as Benedict continues to search for the Lady in Silver.
Part 2 Release Time, Episode Count and Trailer Details
Bridgerton Season 4, Part 2 premieres Thursday, Feb. 26 at 3 a. m. ET / 12 a. m. PT on Netflix and will consist of four episodes, bringing the total season count to eight. The series returned last month with the first four episodes, and the upcoming four installments will follow on February 26. Earlier this month a first-look trailer for Part 2 was released, described as containing three "hot-under-the-collar" romps and showing the forbidden love between Benedict and Sophie boiling over.
The trailer sequence depicts Sophie last seen fleeing after a staircase romp with Benedict, when he asked her to "be his mistress, " an act that deeply upsets her and prompts her to run off. Benedict persists: he sends her letters and follows her around the Bridgerton house to keep her attention. The voice of Lady Whistledown opens the first-look with the line, "There are moments in our lives where we arrive at a crossroads. " Showrunner Jess Brownell has said that for Sophie, the idea of being a mistress is the worst possible thing she could be asked, and that Sophie grew up with wealth and education because her father was a lord.
Neighbours, Staff and Household Tensions
The end of Episode 4 revealed that Sophie’s cruel stepmother and stepsisters are the mysterious family moving next door to the Bridgerton home in Grosvenor Square. The Featheringtons’ longtime maid, Mrs. Varley, is shown to be working with them after resigning when Lady Portia refused to give her a raise. Those neighbor and household dynamics feed directly into Sophie’s predicament: Benedict's request that she be his mistress caused her to flee, which in turn propels his pursuit and the emotional confrontations seen in the trailer and the upcoming episodes.
To watch Part 2, a Netflix membership is required. The streamer currently offers three subscription tiers: Standard with ads at $7. 99 per month, Standard (no ads) at $17. 99 per month and Premium (no ads) at $24. 99 per month.
What makes this notable is how the final four episodes are being framed publicly: the combination of a timed global release at 3 a. m. ET, a concentrated promotional push with a London photocall and a revealing trailer all aim to complete storylines that left Benedict and Sophie at a fraught crossroads.
