However, when Ha's masked Lady in Silver catches his attention, things will take a different turn for him. With his eccentric sister Eloise's help, Benedict will set out to uncover the lady's identity, who left her silver glove as the only breadcrumb for her new admirer.

Bridgerton Season 4 will feature Benedict and Sophie's passionate love, where the latter will be torn between her social status and her true identity in front of Benedict. But in a time period where social standing is everything, will Benedict be brave enough to accept his love for Sophie?
