7. Hyacinth and the Heist

Hyacinth [f22], the youngest of 8 children, has compensated by always speaking her mind and never hiding her intelligence - or her opinion. This, according to Gareth [m28], makes her best in small doses. But when Hyacinth’s friendship with his beloved grandmother, the inimitable Lady Danbury, leads to a shared investment in hidden family jewels, Gareth suddenly begins to notice that life with Hyacinth around is brighter, more amusing, and infinitely more hopeful. But with a dark family secret hanging over his head, how can he ensure that Hyacinth sticks around? WWDD?

Our penultimate episode for Season 1 follows everyone’s favourite hoyden, the most grammatically correct of the Bridgertons, the last but most certainly not the least (looking at you, Benedict), Hyacinth.

Featuring:

• A terrible musicale

• A terrible book

• A terrible play that is so terrible it loops back around to amazing

• An absolutely shameless rip-off of Mermaids-era Cher

• Ponytails, swish, swish

• The comparative EQs of cellists v violinists

• Daddy Issues

• A diary

• And diamonds

This week, we fangirl all over Sherry Thomas, but the title that is most relevant to our discussion is His at Night.  If you want to read more about dark family secrets, really horrible guardians, and guaranteed happy-ever-after, click here.
