Not to be that bitch, but if you're out here still saying Colin never apologized for the whole "I would never court Penelope Featherington" i think you need to maybe actually rewatch episode 1.
He very much does, as soon as he can once hes aware he hurt her. He addresses literally everything Penelope said hurt her about it. He says what he said was cruel and hurtful, he says that hes not embarrassed by her, he tells her hes changed and regrets doing something that hurt her. Its the most genuine apology anyone in this show has given.
How any of you have walked away from that seeing it as a fake apology makes me genuinely question what you think an apology is. Is he meant to fall on his knees crying and begging her to move on? Thats not an apology. Is he supposed to go "I'm sorry I fucked up, you're actually soso cool and so much better than me and everyone else" because thats love bombing.
Colin did it right, he came to her privately, apologized, addressed how he hurt her, reassured her he's not embarrassed of her and views her as his best friend, and said that he'd changed. Thats the correct way to apologize, thats how adults communicate. Everything that happened after that was in response to Penelopes frustration at her inability to be someone viewed as desirable in their society, and Colins want to prove how much he cares about her.
If we want to talk about non-apologies in this show, Colin is far from the first character in that line.
#rainy talks#bridgerton#colin bridgerton#penelope featherington#polin#and also?? the way most o y'all eanted that apology to go was just colin humiliating himself#and fo what? a badly worded comment spoken while he was literally drinking?#yeah its a bit of a dick move to say but its not fall on the sword apologize for not being good enough bad#its “hey; i fucked up and I'm sorry; i won't do that again in its really not who I am”#Which is what he did#y'all wanted him to all but castrate himself publicly or lovebomb her until she was willing to forget it#thats not how this works.#if anyone in this relationship is giving non-apologies its Penelope but I'm not going into that rn

Glad someone said it because I’m sick of this Colin hatred.
