I’m kind of conflicted about what Penelope did to Eloise. A part of me feels like there had to be a better way but another part of me feels like Penelope didn’t have a lot of time to come up with a better solution and the solution that she did end up with was the best that she could do.

Sorry but THEO SUCKKKKS ! People romantise him so much but he sucks

The Eloise and Penelope argument is a rare fandom moment where I genuinely think both of them are right ( from their pov ) the only reason I sway more towards Eloise's pov is that Penelope had already put her trust about the whistledown secret by telling the seamstress yet she doesn't ( unless I wasn't paying attention) once consider telling Eloise about the secret before deciding to destroy her reputation

alright time to give my rant about why I don't like the trope in historical dramas of a higher class lady being with a lower class man and somehow she's always to be made out to be the villain somehow. (except downtown abbey, it works in that one.) It always bothers me when a man of lower class points out a higher class ladies privilege because she really doesn't. Like sure she had never had to struggle because of poverty but by law she is considered property. She really has not much of a choice in her life and her family can strong arm her into a marriage she doesn't want. Meanwhile the lower class man can still make money through his own labor. Sure he will never get to be titled but at least he can make his own money and decisions.

The scandal written in Whistledown is specifically worded "political radicals" because she was trying not to fully ruin El's prospects, it's about her going to the women's rights rally, not her hanging out with Theo.

Pen vs Eloise: my mental calculus favors Eloise and struggles to like Pen, even though I want to, and even though all women be strugglin' out here. Eloise was going to give in, pretend to be Whistledown & work with the queen. Probably shift focus to women's rights in the process. Cressida could never. So Pen's choice isn't protect Eloise vs let Eloise suffer, it's protect her life's work vs let Eloise take credit. Pen chooses to protect herself and her pride. She's already made a double Darcy annuity from it, so she was safe financially. She was still keeping her identity secret and firmly ousting Eloise's ability to take credit by ruining her. And the way Pen later triples down, attacking Eloise by calling her jealous - when she knew the entire time Eloise was trying to find Whistledown to work with her on women's rights, not take over. I want Pen to be proud of her work and take credit. The most ethical decision would have been for Pen to reveal her identity in a Whistledown paper. That would "protect" Eloise and allow her to take credit. Clearly didn't have much consequence in season 3, except she already had Colin by then. Which leaves a sour taste, especially since she did the deed with him before telling him key info that might change his mind about doing the deed with her. It's yucky, and makes me sad because I like Pen and Colin together & I want a better story for them.

She said El was unchaperoned as well. It's a double punch.

Sorry about the long post in advance! I have lots of feelings about the Eloise and Penelope situation. I lean more towards Pen, but I think both of them are right. I think that the whole situation with the Queen could have been handled much differently allowing Pen to tell (or decide not to tell) Eloise on her own time. Pen told madame Delacroix that she couldn’t tell the Queen herself that she was Whistledown because she would think that she was just trying to protect a friend. That’s being a little presumptuous thinking that the Queen knows that they’re friends. But going off of that, I think Pen as lady W could have sent the Queen the next unpublished copy of lady W and a note with something along the lines of “I know you think it’s Eloise Bridgerton, but that’s not true. If you think it is, bring her to the castle and ask her about what is in the next Whistledown”. That way when she invites El to the castle and asks her about the next issue, she can prove that El has no idea what she’s publishing next. And then Pen could instead reveal herself to the Queen so that the Queen doesn’t have to speculate anymore and everyone stays safe. I think it’s easy to say Pen should’ve told El when she found out she was in trouble. But that’s Pen’s biggest secret and having it forced out by a situation she didn’t cause isn’t fair to her. Plus, the whole season she’s been telling El to stop meeting with the printer and stop trying to find lady W and El isn’t listening to her. I don’t think she’s even trying to be selfish. Yes she’s trying to protect her own interests by keeping her out of the area, but she also has been there and knows it can be a dangerous place for people in the ton. And she also knows that El is headstrong and stubborn and could get herself in even more trouble. El says in the last episode that she’s never exactly listened to what Pen says which is how she finds out about her secret in the first place, but had she been paying attention she probably could’ve figured it out a long time ago. But above all else, it’s Pen secret. She should be able to decide whether she shares it or not. I understand that El was feeling hurt by her friend not trusting her enough to tell her, and especially angry that she’d written poorly about her in Whistledown. And I agree that the way Pen went about it was not the best way to handle the situation, but she did what she thought was best for everyone at the time and I can’t fault her for that.

I mean…Eloise DID try to do something. She was learning about the real world, going to rallies and speeches and venturing outside of Mayfair’s bubble to see the real world. But then PENELOPE took that away from her by ruining Eloise’s reputation in her supposedly super feminist scandal sheet that straight up just tears down women.

I think regarding Pen’s choices in this episode she’s constrained by the society she’s in, it’s impossible to be like you should have done this or this. She’s 18, smart for her age but still lacking maturity and life experience. On top of that she’s raised in a society that keeps noble women innocent of the ways of the world to the point that they are unable to make informed decisions. She did what she thought she had to do for herself and Eloise, as flawed as it was.
