Yahoo Lifestyle People Cannot Stop Talking About This One Scene In "Bridgerton" Season 3, And These 17 Reactions Are Painfully Accurate
🐝 There are obviously MASSIVE spoilers ahead for Bridgerton Season 3, Part 1! 🐝
It's FINALLY Bridgerton season, and, dear reader, I could not be more excited. Season 3 focuses on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) as he finally realizes his feelings for Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan).
Listen, I usually prefer enemies to lovers, but what Luke and Nicola did with this friends-to-lovers romance this season made me gasp and swoon. I love them.
Going into this season, book readers were anxiously awaiting a few key scenes between Colin and Pen that they hoped would be adapted, one of which was the infamous carriage scene.
It's a steamy scene in the book, but dear lord, the show just outdoes itself. In Episode 4, Colin finally realizes that he loves Penelope and wants to be with her. Sir, you nailed the classic "Bridgerton sibling love confession" moment.
It all culminates in the duo sharing a kiss and, well, doing so much more.
Like, I haven't stopped thinking about the last few minutes of the Part 1 finale for days.
The whole sexy moment ends with Colin asking Penelope to marry him, and while I desperately need more episodes now, this was such a good cliffhanger to end on because I am dying.
"We didn't know, though, they'd actually called 'cut,' and we couldn't hear them," Nicola revealed when discussing the carriage scene with The Today Show. "So they were all looking at us in the monitors being like, 'What are they doing? What are they doing? What are they doing?'"
"And the director had to come over and be like, 'WHAT WERE YOU DOING!? I told you to stop!'" Nicola added.
She also said how she and Luke trusted each other so much while filming the moment, saying, "We knew what points we had to hit, but it didn't feel stilted or choreographed. We just were like, I trust you, you trust me, let's make it the best it can be."
Out of the entire scene, one small moment has gone viral on the internet: Colin fixing Penelope's dress using only certain fingers after touching her.
It's gone so viral that there are already countless (hilarious) TikToks about the moment, and Nicola has even commented on a few.
And one viral tweet about it even got the attention of Season 3, Episode 4 director Andrew Ahn who said it was a tiny moment improvised by Luke while filming:
I wish I could take credit for this incredible moment of… physical authenticity, but I did not give this piece of direction. It was all Luke Newton! https://t.co/Z0ZtxQQeNS

We have 3 big consent moments in the carriage. He runs after the carriage but doesn’t get in until she allows it. In that brief beat when he thinks she’s rejecting him he moves away allowing her to say no then her nodding before they take it beyond kissing. pic.twitter.com/8jUXYBrz2o

starting to think netflix did us a favor splitting the season into two parts because watching the carriage scene and mirror scene in one day would have wiped us all out from the face of the earth there’s no way we would have survived that pic.twitter.com/spUmHmast2
