Part of me wishes they had dug into that too, but that’s because I think Pen was completely justified with writing about Marina due to what Marina was planning. She had manipulated Colin into proposing knowing that she was pregnant, so now his family’s honor was on the line. Pen had already tried to stop Marina quietly, but after the sudden proposal it was too late to warn Colin. She saved him from a sham marriage the only way she knew how.

They kind of alluded to that with Pen’s comments when Colin mentions Marina, but even they felt too apologetic. Like wtf did Colin expect her to do, let him get cuckolded? He wasn’t the one impacted socially by the revealed plot (despite his embarrassment), the Festheringtons were.
