'It's honestly my life's goal': Bridgerton season 4 stars are 'ready' to become LGBT icons if Netflix gifts fans a Francesca-Michaela romance in season 5

WARNING: spoilers for Bridgerton season 4 part 2 ahead.

As bad as it sounds, sometimes one person's loss is another person's gain. In Bridgerton season 4 part 2, this is most certainly the case for us. At the end of episode 6, John (Victor Alli) suddenly dies of a brain aneurysm, leaving widow Francesca (Hannah Dodd) to try and pick up the pieces.

She's not completely alone, though. Not only does the Bridgerton family come to her aid in her hour of need, but John's cousin Michaela (Masali Baduza) transforms from a thorn in Francesca's side to a bona fide best friend.

That's all it ...
