The first half of Bridgerton Season 4 delivered masquerade mysteries, a scandalous offer from a gentleman, the steamiest of evening teas and wagers fit for a queen.<\/p>\n

But the \u201cFan Ton\u201d \u2014 the show\u2019s dedicated online fan base \u2014 is anything but settled, as burning questions remain to be answered in Part 2 of Season 4, which was released on Netflix<\/a> Thursday.<\/p>\n

Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) still doesn\u2019t know the true identity of the \u201clady in silver\u201d hidden in plain sight. Meanwhile, Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) is caught between her heart and her dignity (and apparently forgoes her packed belongings, much to the dismay of fans<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Luckily, in Mayfair society, nothing stays a mystery for long. Here are the questions we\u00a0 are hoping to get answers to:<\/p>\n

1. How will Sophie respond to Benedict\u2019s mistress proposition \u2014 and can they overcome their major class divide?<\/p>\n

The first part of Season 4<\/a> centers around Benedict desperately searching for the masked \u201clady in silver\u201d he became enamored with at a masquerade ball. Benedict doesn\u2019t know that this woman is really Sophie, a maid, and has only one of her gloves to identify her by.<\/p>\n

Benedict later encounters Sophie and develops feelings for her, fully aware that she is a maid, but still doesn\u2019t know she\u2019s the \u201clady in silver.\u201d But by Mayfair society\u2019s standards, they are an ineligible match.<\/p>\n

The first part of Season 4 left fans shocked when Benedict asked Sophie if she would be his mistress, an offer she found insulting following that steamy stairway scene.<\/p>\n

2. How will Queen Charlotte\u2019s wager with Penelope unfold over whether Benedict will marry?\"Nicola<\/p>\n

Queen Charlotte, who says she\u2019s tired of championing debutantes for the season, is keen on focusing on a gentleman. She zeroes in on Benedict, Penelope Bridgerton\u2019s brother-in-law, as the pick of the season.<\/p>\n

Penelope, who is now under the thumb of the queen as Lady Whistledown, tries to persuade the determined queen that Benedict shouldn\u2019t be the one. “I know Benedict,” she tells the queen. “Of all the men of the ton, I would wager that Benedict Bridgerton is the least likely to marry.” Penelope tries to clarify that she didn\u2019t mean the wager literally, but the queen\u2019s interest is already piqued.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a wager,\u201d the queen announces.<\/p>\n

3. Will the Bridgerton children find out about Lady Violet\u2019s relationship with Lord Anderson?\"Ruth<\/p>\n

One of the quintessential lines of Season 4 goes to Lady Violet Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell) when she invites Lord Marcus Anderson (Daniel Francis) to her home for evening tea in Episode 4.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am the tea that you are having,\u201d she asserts confidently, after a \u201cwill they won\u2019t they\u201d buildup throughout Season 3. Later in the episode, she expresses her happiness while lying next to Marcus, signaling that she\u2019s prioritizing her needs after spending years mourning her late husband.<\/p>\n

But the relationship between Violet and Marcus has been kept secret away from the gossip of the ton and the prying eyes of the Bridgerton children.<\/p>\n

4. Will Francesca\u2019s feelings for Michaela be revealed in any way?\"Masali<\/p>\n

At the end of Season 3, Francesca Bridgerton (Hannah Dodd), who is married to John Stirling (Victor Alli), feels inexplicably drawn to her husband\u2019s cousin, Michaela Stirling (Masali Baduza).<\/p>\n

In the first part of Season 4, John and Francesca work hard to grow closer in their relationship and open up their home to host a family dinner, but Michaela unexpectedly shows up, leaving Francesca unsettled.<\/p>\n

5. Which character\u2019s story will be the next \u2018Bridgerton\u2019 season?<\/p>\n

Showrunner Jess Brownell wore a pocket square with the initials \u201cE\u201d and \u201cF\u201d embroidered on it for the red carpet at the Season 4 premiere of Bridgerton in Paris. The characters whose names start with those initials are Eloise and Francesca. \u201cBoth characters with the initials on my pocket square will get seasons 5 and 6. In what order, I can\u2019t say,\u201d she teased.<\/p>\n

While Francesca is sorting through feelings for Michaela, Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie) has dubbed herself \u201con the shelf\u201d and is looking to avoid the matchmaking scene entirely.<\/p>\n

6. And finally, the big question on fans\u2019 minds is\u2026 where are Sophie\u2019s belongings?!\"Yerin<\/p>\n

This question is perhaps one of the biggest that has been irritating fans.<\/p>\n

After Sophie was fired by her stepmother, Araminta Gun (Katie Leung), she packed her cherished belongings, including one of the gloves she wore to the masquerade ball. She ends up finding employment at the Cavender household. Coincidentally, Benedict is also visiting his friend, Phillip Cavender, at the house, but ultimately intervenes after Phillip harasses Sophie and another maid.<\/p>\n

Benedict convinces Sophie to ride in the carriage back to London with him. But before they leave, Sophie doesn\u2019t go back inside the Cavender house to grab her luggage or the glove, and fans have been agonizing over this detail.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe question on everyone\u2019s mind,\u201d one Instagram user wrote<\/a>. \u201cWhere is her bag with the glove!?\u201d<\/p>\n

Another Instagram user<\/a> posted a meme of a woman silently screaming alongside the scene when Sophie leaves the Cavender house with the text, \u201cAll of us when Sophie doesn\u2019t grab her bag & just leaves it behind.\u201d<\/p>\n

One user was relieved to find out they weren\u2019t the only one obsessing over this detail, writing in the comments section to the post, \u201cFeeling so validated from all of you \ud83d\ude02 I mean are we over it yet? This bag is living rent free lol.\u201d<\/p>\n

Will we ever find out where Sophie\u2019s belongings are, along with the glove? Only time will tell. Part 2 is now streaming.<\/p>\n
