As fans know by now, Season 4 will follow the love story of the second-eldest Bridgerton son, Benedict (Luke Thompson), and new leading lady, Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha).

What happened to Benedict in Season 3?

Most of Season 3 saw Benedict eagerly avoiding potential suitors and their mamas, striking up an initial friendship and attraction to Lady Tilley Arnold (Hannah New). The widow ended up having an affair with playboy Benedict, who’d ultimately given up his artistic ambitions after Season 2’s revelation that his brother Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) had bought his way into school. During Benedict’s affair with Tilley, he further explored his sexuality as she introduced him to Paul (Lucas Aurelio), and they partook in some ménage à trois action.
