It is a fast vow trade, however the necessary moments are bountiful, together with one massive Easter egg within the type of Polin’s walk-down-the-aisle tune alternative. Beneath, showrunner and government producer Jess Brownell breaks it down—together with the hidden which means behind Penelope’s costume—in addition to the explanation for that shock reveal (not less than for guide followers) on the finish of the episode that seemingly units up season 4.
Glamour: Penelope and Colin’s first dance at their marriage ceremony was an orchestral model of Taylor Swift’s “You Belong with Me.” Why was that the correct tune alternative for that second?
Jess Brownell: Thematically and lyrically, it makes a lot sense for them. These characters have so a few years collectively, and it is not a more moderen relationship. It is one thing that has been within the making ceaselessly. There may be that sense of destiny with these two. It simply labored rather well.
What about different Easter eggs from their marriage ceremony?
They stroll down the aisle to Coldplay’s “Yellow,” which is a nod to Featherington yellows and the colours there. Our costume designer John Glaser designed a quite simple silhouette for Penelope, that was in some methods a nod to her being this highly effective profession girl. She shouldn’t be tremendous fussy in that second. It is a very robust silhouette.
Penelope and Colin are actually mother and father to a child boy. Within the guide, their first little one is a lady. How does having a boy match into their narrative?
Yeah, within the guide, they’ve a child woman first, who they identify after Woman Danbury. The guide options Woman Danbury rather more than we had been capable of within the present, although we did attempt to pay homage to it in sure moments. It felt like for us in season 3, it was the proper ending to that inheritor race to have Penelope win over her sisters after every little thing she’s been by means of. The truth that she’s had the boy additionally signifies that she’s now the mom of the inheritor, which implies she will get to maneuver into Featherington home. And virtually talking for us, we get to maintain our units. So it kills many birds with one stone.
Shonda Rhimes stated she cried in the course of the finale, which is straightforward to grasp given the magnitude of so many developments and private interactions. What stood out to you?
Although I wrote it, I cried seeing Luke Newton ship the ultimate speech the place he tells Penelope that her Whistledown reveal was bloody sensible. Every part he says, and the second the place he is like, “If my solely function in life is to be the person behind the girl, then so be it.” That to me is, particularly as a profession girl, the dream factor you need somebody to say to you.
Sure. And eventually, when Penelope says to him, “I don’t want you to avoid wasting me. I simply want you to face by me, to carry me, to kiss me,” I instantly thought, is that this a nod to Gray’s Anatomy when Meredith tells Derek, “Choose me, select me, love me?”
Oh, no. It wasn’t deliberately.
See, that is what occurs if you devour a lot TV!
Yeah. [Laughs]
