Larry was smitten with Marian from the very beginning. Bertha announced that she'd be holding a dinner and right away he asks if she'll be inviting Mrs. Van Rhijn (and therefore Marian).

He has heart eyes the entire episode.

Larry approaches her as soon as she arrives at the Russell dinner at the end of the episode.

I'm no social etiquette scholar, but I'm pretty sure Larry grabbing Marian's hand, just days after their first meeting, was a pretty forward move. Even at a dinner like that.

As for George and Bertha, even though Bertha is upset that Marian has to leave so quickly, George recognizes that Marian surely came without her aunt's permission. He reminds Bertha that her quarrel is with Mrs. Van Rhijn, not Marian herself. I think it's that act that leads to Bertha and Marian getting along so well in the future.

Am I the only one who thinks that Bertha will approve of Marian and Larry in season 3?

I keep seeing people say that they think she’ll have a problem with it, but I honestly don’t think so because…

She seems to like Marian. Inviting her to dinners and parties. Apologizing to her in season 1 when there wasn’t room for her in their party for the electric lighting that Mr. Raikes was invited to. Letting her be in their Met Opera box. Greeting her at the Easter service. That points to liking her.

Her problem with Mrs. Blaine was that she was twice Larry’s age. Marian is not.

Unlike Gladys, Larry doesn’t have to marry for position and money. He can marry for love. He can basically marry whoever he wants without much say from his parents.

In my opinion, when it comes to obstacles due to family, Bertha isn’t going to be the problem. It’s going to be Aunt Agnes. She’s the one that’s going to disapprove.

Yes, the roles are about to changed between Aunt Ada and Aunt Agnes, so with that in mind, I’m not sure how that will affect Marian and Larry’s relationship going forward, but one thing is for sure, the problem is still going to be Agnes.

I’m also someone who doesn’t believe that Mrs. Blaine will come back into the picture by way of being pregnant with Larry’s child because the writers admitted in post-finale interviews that Larry and Marian was always the plan. It was just a matter of when, not if. There’s going to be obstacles, that’s a given, but if they were always the plan, I doubt they would ruin that by making Larry father another woman’s child. I feel like that’s why they had Bertha say to Mrs. Blaine that she couldn’t give him an heir when she told her to break it off with Larry.

Also, I saw someone say that Larry and Marian are based on a historical couple that were across the street neighbors, where one was old money and the other was new money, so…there’s that aspect as well.

In any case, I’m so excited for season 3. And I can’t wait to see what happens between Larry and Marian, but for all the characters. The renewal news was the best early Christmas present that I could ask for.

Two boys in love with a girl and they don't know it yet. 🥰

My headcanon is that the Russells share a direct ancestor with the Bridgertons. Look how similar Larry and Colin are.

[onefail-at-atime]

Mrs. Blane absolutely knew there was something between Larry and Marian when she first saw them together in Newport. It's why she was so possessive of Larry and drew him away from Marian to talk to her friends instead of his own.

I think the timing of Larry's relationship with Mrs. Blane is interesting because even if he showed interest in Marian in Season 1, he knew that she had her heart broken and wanted to give her that space.

Space that ultimately pushed him to Mrs. Blane.

I think Season 3 will be a time for young Larry to learn the true difference between infatuation, lust, and what a true love should be.
