Netflix recently released the first part of Bridgerton season 4, continuing the trend of splitting popular shows into two parts. This season turns its focus to Benedict Bridgerton, the second son of the Bridgerton family, who is known for avoiding responsibilities and marriage. As the season begins, pressure starts to build around him. His mother and society expect him to settle down and choose a proper match. Benedict resists these expectations, but everything changes after one night.
At a masquerade ball, Benedict meets a mysterious woman dressed in silver. They spend the evening dancing, talking and laughing as if no one else exists. The night ends with a kiss, but just as the clock strikes midnight, the woman suddenly runs away. All she leaves behind is a single white glove.
