Came across this HUGE rolling promo quite accidentally. Wait for the end. Istg I have never come so close to irrationally losing my mind in such a public space.
I have a theory about the photo of Benedict and Colin.
There are 4 glasses. I like to think, ABC take John out for a drink after he becomes engaged to their sister.
I like the idea of the brothers spending time with their future in law. Also it will make his death more potent.
Or an even funnier scenario would be the fourth glass is for Gregory who gets drunk for the first time and has to be carried to bed. Like a toddler on New Years Eve.
I like the thought of ABC getting to know John over a civilised round of drinks. I would imagine after the messy way Anthony went about supervising Daphne's season and now that he's settled down with Kate that he'll approach Francesca's debut with a far more lax outlook. With Violet and Kate doing more of the chaperoning and assuring him they'll guide Francesca accordingly, it would only be when her courtship with the Earl of Kilmartin gets serious that Kate would suggest her husband and his brothers go for a drink with John so they can get a measure of him for themselves. And rather than being uptight and overly hostile towards the man purely because he's courting his sister, Anthony instead gets to know who John is as a person in isolation from his romantic pursuit of Francesca. Then as the night wears on and Anthony sees just how well John gets on with him and his brothers, he pulls the young man aside and lets him know he has his approval should he wish to make Francesca an offer.
