Fans React to Sophie Forgetting Her Glove

One moment in Bridgerton season four could have confused even Lady Whistledown herself.

Fans were left wondering about the whereabouts of the white glove belonging to Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) after it played a pivotal role in the first four episodes that were released on Netflix Jan. 29. 

During the second episode, Sophie—the illegitimate daughter of the Earl of Penwood—sneaks out to attend the Bridgerton family’s masquerade ball, dressing up in a silver dress found in the attic and a pair of long white gloves that belonged to a deceased member of the Penwood family. At the party, Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) removes one of the gloves when the two share a romantic moment together. So, when a disguised Sophie dashes away, Benedict is left with just the glove, à la Cinderella leaving behind her glass slipper.

Once Sophie’s stepmother Araminta (Katie Leung) kicks her out of the Penwood home, Sophie makes a point of taking the remaining glove with her. However, she then appears to leave the glove at the Cavenders’ country home, where she was working as maid, when she and Benedict connect again at the end of episode two.
