I loved your reaction and i agree the mirror scene was so gentle and loving between them both he wanted her first time to be special.And loved how Colin told his brothers that hes always had feeling for Pen but was a fool for not knowing what he was feeling

Episode 5 has everything from start to finish. Love, intimacy, and the DRAMA 😂 I love how Colin stands up to Lady Featherington, then proves to Penelope that he can take care of her by taking her to their new home. I LOVED the mirror scene. I wasn't sure how it would translate from the book but it was done well. The intimacy scene was very loving. Then the drama starts with everyone 😂 Lady Featherington and Penelope's sisters are extremely funny this season.

I loved the intimate scene. It was so beautifully done. Not gratuitous or exploitative, but respectful and tender and very real. And Colin standing up to her mother is such a great scene. Nicola didn’t actually get a PG version for her family, she was wrong about getting that and in fact her family watched this episode in a cinema! I’ve read the book and the mirror scene doesn’t actually happen. It’s something her says he’d like them to do, but they don’t do it, so the show decided to include it.
