Throughout most of the Bridgerton book series, the Featherington family is largely out of focus, except for Penelope. The Netflix adaptation, however, gives them considerably more screen time. In season two, their storyline revolves largely around the arrival of Jack, the new Lord Featherington, and the family's financial problems following the late Baron Featherington's gambling debts and murder.
On the one hand, Jack seems willing to provide for his newfound cousins, even providing Philippa with her dowry to marry Mr. Finch, her sweet, dorky beau from season one. On the other hand, he soon sets his own marital sights on the bullying Cressida Cowper because, as it turns out, he's broke too! In the end, Jack proves to be an even more conniving scammer than the previous Lord Featherington, and despite Lady Featherington initially eagerly participating (and even, at some points, directing) his schemes, she eventually throws him under the bus to protect her daughters.
