* While Eloise is an AnnoyingYoungerSibling, it's shown she doesn't hate Daphne. Far from it, when Daphne is nearly forced into marriage with Lord Berbrooke, Eloise is clearly horrified and in near tears for her sister. After her family manages to resolve this with Lady Whistledown's help, Eloise comes to Daphne's room and says she's glad Daphne isn't going to be trapped in a [[AwfulWeddedLife loveless marriage]]. She then asks Daphne how she isn't scared about marriage, being a wife, and having children. Daphne tries to be cool about it because she likes children, but Eloise recounts the night their mother almost died having Hyacinth, and was screaming despite Daphne trying to distract Eloise and her siblings by singing. Eloise still [[TearJerker has nightmares about it]], since their father had died only a few months before. That motivates Daphne to admit that she remembers the screams as well and yes, she is scared about what the future will bring and that it depends on the match she makes. But she reassures Eloise that no matter how dark things may get, they can find their happy ending, no matter if their wants seem impossible.

* Simon effortlessly endearing himself to both Hyacinth and Gregory. When Hyacinth innocently ask for one of Simon's horse, Simon playfully asks her "would a pony do?" and makes a paper horse, much to the younger girl's delight.

* Simon knows that Lady Danbury is trying to set him up with Daphne, as is Violet, Lady Bridgerton. He accepts the dinner invitation to the Bridgertons with a grain of salt. Yet, he seems touched that the kids in the family eat with their "mama" and the adults, with Violet saying they're eccentric since it's obviously not conventional. As Violet talks about how much she loves having the kids around and that they bring joy, he has a sweet smile on his face, tinged with a longing that he didn't have such a childhood, let alone a mother like her.
* The queen helps out when Lord Berbrooke attempts blackmailing Daphne into marrying him. She shoos a gossipy servant out of the room and tells Violet exactly what to do: invite his mother for tea, and get gossip from Lady Berbrooke's servants.
* While Eloise is an AnnoyingYoungerSibling, it's shown she doesn't hate Daphne. Far from it, when Daphne is nearly forced into marriage with Lord Berbrooke, Eloise is clearly horrified and in near tears for her sister. After her family manages to resolve this with Lady Whistledown's help, Eloise comes to Daphne's room and says she's glad Daphne isn't going to be trapped in a [[AwfulWeddedLife loveless marriage]].

* Simon's by-now-legendary [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5Z2Z7COQkg speech to the Queen]] about [[RomanticFakeRealTurn why he wants to marry Daphne]] left a million fangirls (and Daphne) swooning.
* Lady Danbury makes Kate press her for why the Sharmas returned to London, saying hang that Kate went for a ride without a chaperone, what's more important is the deal with their grandparent in-laws the Sheffields.

* Charlotte is known to be offended easily and matches wits with anyone that has the courage to contradict her. Then a nervous Eloise makes a remark about how she likes emeralds better than diamonds, in an attempt to sabotage her own chances. After a {{Beat}}, Charlotte says in SincerityMode that her favorite necklace is an emerald one and how nice it is that Eloise knows.
* Colin seeks out Penelope at the afternoon races. He says that he's really happy to see her, and then seeks her out again. At the soiree, he says that Penelope's letters have encouraged him to realize that he is a better person than he thought he was, and thanks her. While he has sworn off woman, he can't swear off Pen, his OnlyFriend. Penelope isn't happy to hear she's just a friend, but she takes what she can get in stride.
