Lady Penwood quickly begins questioning Violet about Benedict's marriage prospects, but during the tense conversation, several viewers' attention drifted to Araminta's jewelry. In addition to her earrings, fans noticed an adhesive bandage covering the corner of actor Katie Leung's left ear where a cartilage piercing might be. "Band-Aids in this era?! 👀 The ton want to know," one fan said on TikTok. As another commented, "Yeah, I wish they had covered it better - like put a fancy ear cuff up there or something."
While all Bridgerton couples go through twisty love stories, Benedict and Sophie face a particularly high-stakes dilemma in Season 4. Their disparate social classes make marriage practically impossible - hence Benedict's clumsy mistress proposal. As Yerin Ha, who plays Sophie, recently told Bustle: "When society tells you that you can't pursue something, but you're seeing these two people fight for something that they want, that's something that we can all grapple with and understand."

Then, in a newly released teaser for Part 2, fans pointed out that Violet can be seen wearing all black. As one Redditor noted, this is "very out of character for her ... so this must mean she's either just attended a funeral or is mourning."
