   Summary

   Colin panics when he hears that Lady Featherington has promised Penelope's hand in marriage to a rake in the Ton. To save her, and to keep her in his life, Colin announces he has compromised Pen. Penelope, naïve to what compromise all entails, goes along with the lie. Now, the two have to get married.

   (set after the Full Moon Ball S3E2- but the kiss hasn't happened yet)
