What is Bridgeton season 3 about?

After hearing her one true love Colin is not interested, Penelope decides to move on and find herself another husband - someone who can get her away from her mother and sisters and who will allow her to keep her Lady Whistledown life.

Meanwhile, Colin returns from his summer travels and becomes sad to see his friend Penelope so disinterested in him - especially after she was the one person who always appreciated him for exactly who he was.

Keen to win her over, he offers to mentor her in order to help her find a husband but of course, the lessons begin to work a little too well leaving Colin confused over his feelings.

There is of course the matter of Eloise and Penelope's on-going feud and the Lady Whistledown life that becomes harder and harder to keep a secret.
