Random thoughts

So far Mrs. Varley has done two forgeries for Portia Featherington that we’re aware of.

What if in season 3 she forges something and steals the money Portia stole from Lord Featherington?

It’s not as if Portia would be able to have her arrested without admitting that she kept the ton’s money and Lord Featherington was actually her scapegoat. Varley knows too much about Portia’s personal business and schemes, she could threaten to reveal that the document granting Portia’s first grandson the Featherington title, is forged.

If that happened and the Featherington’s were once again penniless, it would allow for Penelope to save her family with her Whistledown money (which she does in the books).

If Portia had to replace Mrs. Varley she would be determined to pick a trustworthy new housekeeper, so maybe that’s how the show plans to bring in Sophie’s character.

I’m calling it now. Rupert Young that had been cast in an anonymous role is going to be the illegitimate son of Lord Featherington (as he was seen in what I’m assuming is a brothel before his death) and his name was written on the note Mrs. Varley found in the last episode and he’s going to have to take his place as “Lord Featherington” and potentially clash with Lady Featherington over how to rule the house. Idk why he just strikes me to be a part of that house.

I also have a feeling that Penelope might be using her money that she collected as Lady Whistledown to support the family too. Like they could’ve dragged that secret out for seasons (or in Colin’s season because I think that’s where It was revealed) but they purposely revealed it at the end of season 1 with the Featherington plot in place so I almost feel like it HAS to come up as more than just Eloise trying to figure out who the author is again.
