Bridgerton’s 4 most swoon-worthy moments to relive while we wait agonizingly for season 5

When it comes to the shows on Netflix that I have a deep love for, I can think of no other than Bridgerton. Ever since 2020, this Regency-era romance drama has captivated me every time a new season airs, even though it feels like it takes decades.

But, since right now we are waiting for season 5 of the series, I thought it would be thrilling to write about my favorite swoonworthy moments from each of the four seasons so far. And while there were plenty I could name, these are the few I would pick in a heartbeat.

The Hand Brush (season 1)

Season 1 of Bridgerton feels like so long ago, and while we don’t see Regé-Jean Page and Phoebe Dynevor on our screens anymore, we can still relive their love story from season 1.

If we’re being frank, I actually don’t enjoy their love story as much as I enjoy the others, honestly because I feel like it started really messy and ended up turning into something genuine. But they did have some moments that made me clutch my chest and yearn for more. One of which was the almost hand-brush scene in the art gallery.

When Daphne and Simon are in an art gallery in season 1, episode 5, and they both reach for the same painting, their hands brush, and GOSH, I still can’t stop thinking about it. That scene has Mr. Darcy-hand-flex energy right there. There’s so much said in that one single touch that you can’t help but want so much more. It’s a testament to that electric pull and how much I literally shivered.

The Bee Sting (season 2)

Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate (Simone Ashley) had the classic enemies-to-lovers kind of relationship, one that I enjoyed watching so much when it first aired. I feel like these kinds of tropes always have the most swoon-worthy scenes because it’s supposed to be forbidden and wrong and all that fun stuff. But you want to know which scene really did it for me? The bee sting scene.

In season 2 episode 3, Kate is stung by a bee. Anthony, who watched his daughter die from a literal bee sting, has a total epic panic attack because, in his mind, the bee sting might mean death for Kate. After all, that’s the way his father went. He keeps asking her if she’s okay, if she’s breathing, and she’s so confused because, to her, it’s just a sting. But it’s this moment that shows just how much he truly cares for her.

I mean, come on. I can’t say anything more than that. I am legit getting goosebumps just thinking about it. It’s those slow moments that drive me wild.

The Mirror (season 3)

Okay, so maybe there were other reasons as to why this scene is swoonworthy that I will not get into, but what really gets me is that Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin (Luke Newton) just get each other.

I suppose that’s what happens when you have a classic friends-to-lovers story, but man, this scene where Colin is just trying to show her how beautiful she is in front of the mirror, pointing out what he loves, and then they literally do the deed in front of it? Good lord.

There’s just something to be said about a man who takes your biggest insecurities and then turns them around into something stunning. And to me, that is the biggest swoon-worthy moment.

The Bathtub (season 4)

My personal favorite season of Bridgerton is actually season 4, mainly because I love a Cinderella retelling, and this season did it so well. And truthfully, Sophie (Yerin Ha) and Benedict (Luke Thompson) had some of the best chemistry, which was shown in the bathtub scene.

Like the previously mentioned mirror scene, there is some other stuff that happens in that bathtub that I’m sure we could go on for days about. But what makes this scene swoonworthy is the total annihilation of Benedict’s walls.

Benedict is a person who has pretty much kept to himself and tried to live his own life because of the expectations that his family has set. Even so, he’s always gone his own way, and due to that, he tends to hold back his passions.

But with Sophie, there is no holding back. In that tub, it’s the literal stripping away of his own worry and treating her with respect that is swoonworthy, considering she’s not of the same class. After Sophie lost her parents and her past life and went through so much, this is the kind of treatment she needs.

Never thought a man treating a woman right would make me sigh in yearning, but here we are.

I also want to give another small shout-out to Mama Bridgerton in season 4, a.k.a. Violet Bridgerton, for embracing her own wants and needs. That line that she said to Lord Marcus Anderson—"I am the tea that you are having"—gagged me. I wouldn’t call it swoonworthy, but wow, is it iconic.

Anyway, while I wait for season 5, I’m just going to go and rewatch all of Bridgerton on Netflix. It’s time for a binge session.
