The second half of “Bridgerton” Season 4 begins just shortly after Part 1 ended. Still reeling from the heated kiss she shared with Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) on the back stairwell of the Bridgerton House, Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) can’t even bask in the moment. Instead, the lady’s maid is feeling deflated about his request that she become his mistress. This is a less-than-enticing offer for 21st-century lovers, but for Regency-era women, it’s especially off-putting. Lady Whistledown (Julie Andrews) and the events of Episode 5, “Yes or No,” illustrate just how unsexy the position of “mistress” was in the time period.
