Bridgerton Viewers Urged to Watch Through Credits for Vital Finale Scene
Devotees of the hit Netflix series Bridgerton have been issued a stark warning not to switch off their screens prematurely, as the season four finale conceals a significant post-credits sequence. Many fans have expressed astonishment, labelling the decision to hide a pivotal wedding scene as "unhinged" and "ridiculous."
Season Four's Final Episode Features a Crucial Second Ending
The romantic drama returned this week with the second half of its fourth season, continuing the turbulent love story between Benedict Bridgerton, portrayed by Luke Thompson, and Sophie Baek, played by Yerin Ha. After numerous complications, the couple achieves their happy ending with a kiss in the gazebo where they first danced.
As the credits begin to roll, numerous subscribers assumed the episode had concluded, only to discover they had missed an essential post-credits scene. This additional footage reveals Benedict and Sophie's wedding day, a moment of considerable importance in the narrative arc.
Social Media Erupts with Reactions to the Hidden Scene
Subscribers have flocked to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to highlight this critical scene. One viewer initiated the discussion by stating, "The concept of hiding the main ship’s wedding scene in the mid credits of the show…"
Responses poured in, with a fan admitting, "I finished the show (or so I thought), saw this tweet and went back to the credits." Another echoed this sentiment, remarking, "Didn’t know there was a wedding until I saw this tweet." A fellow enthusiast commented, "It’s so ridiculous…so many people are going to miss it."
Further critiques emerged, with one viewer describing the mid-credits wedding as "crazy work," while another exclaimed, "If I hadn't let the show finish while I checked my messages I wouldn't have seen this season’s main ship wedding! What was this choice I can't understand." An additional post read, "Putting the main ship’s wedding in the mid-credits is actually unhinged. We waited seasons for that and you hide it like a Marvel easter egg?? Bridgerton really said ‘if you blink, you miss the marriage.’"
Details of the Adorable Post-Credits Wedding Scene
This charming extra scene is not to be overlooked. It commences with Anthony Bridgerton, played by Jonathan Bailey, informing Benedict that he was correct to disregard his advice and that their father would be proud of him.
Among the wedding guests, Kate Bridgerton, portrayed by Simone Ashley, speculates about who might marry next. Eloise Bridgerton, played by Claudia Jessie, surprisingly confesses her affection for weddings, though she hastily clarifies that she only enjoys them "as an attendee."
Penelope Bridgerton, enacted by Nicola Coughlan, then queries Francesca Bridgerton, played by Hannah Dodd, about the possibility of remarrying. Francesca dismisses the idea emphatically, insisting she will never wed again following the death of her husband, John Stirling.
The ceremony proceeds as Sophie walks down the aisle at My Cottage towards her future husband, whom she addresses as "Benedict," symbolising their newfound equality. As the wedding unfolds, the camera pans inside My Cottage to reveal a portrait of Sophie as the Silver Lady, with Benedict's name inscribed in the corner.
Bridgerton remains available for streaming on Netflix, but viewers are now advised to watch attentively through the credits to catch all crucial developments.
