[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I must've missed something. The last episode when they presented Sophie to the queen, why did they tell the queen Sophie was the daughter of Penwood's cousin?[/quote]

They're making up a lie so she can marry Benedict and blackmailed Araminta into going along with it.  The Queen knew they were lying but decided to roll with it.

But if course surely the knew Lord Penwood would know, so maybe they should have also bribed Cressida into playing along.[/quote]

How is the new Lord Penwood related to Sophie/her father? Uncle/brother?[/quote]

We don't know, just that he was the next male heir after Sophie's father died. Likely he is not her half brother, as it seems like if that were the case, Sophie would have known him growing up and he would have been more involved in the first half of the season. Probably a cousin or other distant relative. Sophie's dad left no direct heirs (i.e. sons) they would have looked through the Penwood family to find the closes male relative.

I do feel they did a bad job of explaining everyone's relationships on this season and that contributed to the lackluster feel of the season. It was annoying in the first couple episodes when it wasn't 100% clear that Lady Penwood was Sophie's stepmother and Lady Penwood's daughters her sisters. Because Sophie is serving as a maid, and the flashbacks are somewhat vague, I am not sure I even understood the relationships properly in the first episode when Sophie meets Benedict, so instead you're like "uh, who is this woman? are we supposed to know?" And then that just snowballs as the season progresses. It just felt like sort of lazy, imprecise storytelling.[/quote]
