Bridgerton: Franchaela

About this episode

The hosts discuss the first sapphic romance in Bridgerton, focusing on the characters Francesca and Michaela and the implications of their relationship.

We cannot contain our excitement for the first sapphic romance on Bridgerton and so we discuss all the setup that Bridgerton has given us so far for Franchaela, our Season 5 lead!. We review the Francesca of earlier seasons, her path to marriage, and how her relationship with Michaela has developed within the context of her marriage. We explore the ideas of compulsory heterosexuality, compare what book knowledge we have to that of the show, and begin to speculate on what's to come.
