Still, although there is no apparent friendship between Eloise and Penelope, Eloise defends Penelope from Cressida’s actions when she steps on Penelope’s new gown on purpose.
Nevertheless, their friendship is very much the secondary love story of this season in Bridgerton.
Eloise was able to form a friendship with Cressida, but that came crashing down when Cressida declared herself Lady Whistledown.
Then the two team up to discredit her by printing another issue of their own. The two grow closer and later reunite in the final episodes of the season.
Thus, their friendship continues to be intact when Eloise forgives Penelope for betraying her after realizing the motives that made her do it.
