The season of love has arrived in Colin and Penelope's world. But since its inception, the latter has lived a double life. She is not only Penelope Featherington, she is also one of the most celebrated gossip columnists, Lady Whistledown. She writes mainly about the events that occur at the balls and does not even hesitate to criticize the most influential personalities, including Queen Charlotte. Well, Bridgerton Season 3 reveals her identity in front of Colin's sister, Eloise, so it's no wonder fans are curious to know if Colin finds out about her.

Rarely do we see any live action projecting the events of the source material as they are. Unfortunately, Bridgerton is not among them. The first part of Bridgerton season 3 ended with a steamy scene between Colin and Penelope, where the former also proposes to the latter. However, it is a little different in the world created by the amazing author Julia Quinn.

Before getting involved in a romantic sequence, Colin grabs an envelope that Pen accidentally drops. That's when he learns that the gossip columnist is none other than the woman he loves. So this is a massive change that has been seen in the screen adaptation. The book also shows friends-turned-lovers arguing about this in the carriage before their engagement. So we didn't get a chance to witness all this in the first four episodes of Bridgerton Season 3 Part 1.

In addition, the letter revealing Penelope's true identity to Colin states that Cressida, who claims to be Lady Whistledown, is an impostor as she has nothing to do with all the gossip. Colin is initially not ready to support her writing, but when Cressida starts blackmailing her, he is the one who stands by Pen's side. He says that before anyone else reveals her identity to the world, they should announce it themselves.
