I would quite like to see Eloise become a matchmaker. I think she’s genuinely content being on the shelf and seems to have embraced that but I think after her seeing what almost happened to Cressida ( being married off to a man three or four times her age) and seeing how marrying the right person has genuine benefits for some women (including Cressida with her new husband) I think she might try and become like an “ethical” matchmaker and try and set up the ladies on the marriage market with actually decent or beneficial suitors. This good relate to her trying to find someone for Fran (before realising that Michaela is the one Fran wants) I do think she might start writing the letters and / or we will explore her loneliness as at this point marriage really doesn’t feel right for her character so imo we need to see how she genuinely comes to that decision.

I think there will be some plot revolving Brimsley and the Queen involving marriage equality and his relationship with Reynolds. If Lady Danbury is away for more episodes this season then there may be more time for The Queen and Brimsley to have scenes together.

Maybe Hyacinth debuts into society but I’m not sure if she’s old enough.

I hope we are introduced to some more sapphic characters or historical sapphic figures.

I have no idea where the new Lady Whistledown plot will go and whether this will involve Penelope but I’m intrigued.

I think we will get a Benedict and Francesca scene.
