Who Said It And When? Penelope - Season 3 of Bridgerton
A glammed-up Penelope seems to get lost in Colin’s eyes. While other debutantes might only see him as an attractive man and a suitable husband from a prominent and titled family, she, who has always been discarded by society, knows his real worth is in his empathy and kindness.
This reminds us about the various occasions when he would swoop in and save her from humiliatingly situations, such as when he danced with her at a ball when nobody else would.

Who Said It And When? Anthony - Season 2, Episode 5 of Bridgerton
Season 2 explores the romance between the eldest Bridgerton brother, Anthony, and Kate, a spinster (by the ton’s standards, at least) from India, who happens to be under the guardianship of the formidable Lady Danbury. Kate is in London only to secure a husband for her younger sister, Edwina, but finds herself increasingly drawn to Anthony, despite their explosive and hostile encounters.
In episode 5, frustrated as ever by his puzzling behavior and lack of interest in Edwina, she blurts out that she can’t wait for Edwina to get married so she can return home, but he fervently responds that she can't travel far enough to “free” him “from this torment.”
These two embody the classic enemies-to-lovers trope, and their chemistry sizzles in every scene.

Who Said It And When? Penelope - Season 3 of Bridgerton
Colin asks Penelope why she didn’t answer his letters when he was on his trip. He even confesses that he has missed her. Because she is frustrated that she is on her third season and hasn’t yet received a marriage proposal, and is feeling angry at him specifically for failing to see her own feelings for him, she can't help but reveal that she knows he deemed her to not be worthy of an official courtship in the previous season.
Their past friendly exchanges aren’t enough for her anymore, and that signals a shift in their dynamic.

Who Said It And When? Kate Sharma - Season 2, Episode 6 of Bridgerton
Kate, Edwina, and their mother, Mary, conduct a haldi ceremony (a traditional Indian pre-wedding ritual) before Edwina’s Christian wedding to Anthony. The loyal Kate has sacrificed her own happiness for the sake of her sister’s, but her intense definition of a lasting, meaningful companionship, one that sees beyond looks and passion, clearly mirrors her own deep feelings for the viscount.
As for Edwina, who has expressed some reservations about the hastened wedding, she’s obviously not aware of the passion that burns between those two yet and just assumes Kate’s words are intended for her… until she connects the dots at the altar, that is.

Who Said It And When? Lady Danbury - Season 2, Episode 2 of Bridgerton
Lady Agatha Danbury has an indubitably strong presence in the books and series; she is one of the most prominent figures in high society and is close friends with Mrs. Violet Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte.
In Season 2, she takes Kate and her young sister Edwina under her wing when they travel to London, chaperoning them in society and imparting her acerbic wisdom in private. Kate, for one, is far from being a conventionally “proper” lady: she is strongly opinionated, and her scandalous behavior includes horseback riding alone in the park. So, in episode 2, when Lady Danbury warns her that she should focus on landing a suitable husband, so as not to end up alone, the young woman immediately retorts that she certainly seems to be content as a widow.
Obviously, this sets Lady Danbury off, because Kate isn’t aware of Agatha’s past struggles in climbing the echelons of society and disastrous marriage to an inconsiderate man; those events are explored in the spinoff prequel miniseries Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.
