Brid­get reflects on her recent joy­ful expe­ri­ences and the changes in her rela­tion­ship with Rhys, her body­guard. After a mem­o­rable night, she wakes up feel­ing elat­ed, but soon real­izes their dynam­ic has shift­ed back to a pro­fes­sion­al one, damp­en­ing her mood. They’re prepar­ing to leave for New York, and Rhys, back in his usu­al attire, seems dis­tant. Brid­get, feel­ing a mix of dis­ap­point­ment and deter­mi­na­tion, offers Rhys a propo­si­tion to extend his con­tract to stay with her dur­ing her tran­si­tion into a more promi­nent role fol­low­ing her broth­er Niko­lai’s abdi­ca­tion. Despite the awk­ward­ness between them, she hopes to main­tain the com­fort and secu­ri­ty his pres­ence brings.

Rhys’s response is non-com­mit­tal, leav­ing Brid­get to pon­der the impli­ca­tions of her request. Their jour­ney to New York is marked by silence, reflect­ing the ten­sion and unspo­ken regrets between them. Despite the strained inter­ac­tions, Brid­get finds solace in the mem­o­ries they cre­at­ed togeth­er, rec­og­niz­ing them as more than just whim­si­cal adven­tures.

Upon arrival in New York, stay­ing at The Plaza, Brid­get faces the impend­ing chal­lenge of a press con­fer­ence announc­ing her new role due to her broth­er’s abdi­ca­tion. She invites Rhys to join her, seek­ing his sup­port dur­ing this crit­i­cal moment. His accep­tance brings her tem­po­rary relief in the midst of her anx­i­ety over the sig­nif­i­cant changes and pub­lic scruti­ny she is about to face.

As the day of the press con­fer­ence arrives, Brid­get strug­gles with her nerves but finds unex­pect­ed com­fort in Rhys’s pres­ence and care. Watch­ing her broth­er offi­cial­ly renounce his title and suc­ces­sion, Brid­get is forced to con­front the real­i­ty of her new respon­si­bil­i­ties and the pub­lic’s reac­tion. Despite the over­whelm­ing stress and appre­hen­sion, she pre­pares to face the media, sup­port­ed by Rhys’s steady con­fi­dence.

Through­out these events, Brid­get nav­i­gates the com­plex­i­ties of her evolv­ing rela­tion­ship with Rhys, the weight of her impend­ing duties, and the per­son­al chal­lenges of step­ping into a more vis­i­ble and influ­en­tial role in the eyes of the pub­lic and her own self-per­cep­tion.
