"ICYMI, there's a long-standing theory in the Bridgerton fandom based on the pall-mall game in Season 2, Episode 3. Many fans think the scene symbolizes the order of the show's seasons. As noted by Reddit sleuths u/Ladysilvert and u/JilliusMaximusJD, the sequence of the players mirrors who led the first two seasons of the show. But then, when Benedict goes for the third wicket - he's the third book in Quinn's Bridgerton series - he misses, and Colin makes it instead. Since the pall-mall lineup seems to track with the Bridgerton seasons and the way Colin's season was moved up, it makes sense to consult the game for future leads, too. And who hits their ball through the fifth wicket? None other than Eloise!"
"In an interview published on Feb. 3, Digital Spy asked Jessie about the theory, and she was intrigued to learn about it, exclaiming: "Crikey, wow!" But when pressed about whether her character would lead the next chapter, the actor simply pretended to faint. (Which... iconic.) "That's gonna be my answer every time, I'm just gonna fake pass away," she joked, before continuing: "Listen, I love being in this so much. You can probably tell, I'm quite an excitable person. I like this job a lot. And whenever it does happen ... it's gonna be my absolute effing pleasure. I cannot wait.""
Bridgerton has reached the midpoint of Julia Quinn's novels with Benedict and Sophie's Season 4, and viewers are already speculating about Season 5. A fandom theory interprets a pall-mall scene as a symbolic ordering of series leads, with Eloise shown hitting the ball through the fifth wicket. Claudia Jessie reacted to the theory with playful fainting and strong enthusiasm, saying she loves the role and would be thrilled to lead whenever it happens. Season 4 Part 2 releases on Feb. 26, and anticipation continues for future romantic leads and storytelling in the series.
