Look, the Carriage Scene™ was hot, but Bridgerton pulled off its steamiest — quite literally — scene yet in season 4 when Sophie and Benedict hooked up in a bathtub. Honestly, it was perfection, but apparently filming took for-ev-er and resulted in Yerin Ha getting full body hives.

Speaking to Cosmopolitan UK about the scene, Yerin explained there were "so many logistical obstacles we had to overcome. You really just problem solve that..."

Luke them jumped in, "You just brace-hold your partner when they're covered in this weird oil when it feels like you're constantly slipping down the bath..."

Yerin then replied, "I feel like you were squeezing me with your inner thighs! So I wouldn't slip."

"Seven hours we were in that bath! Prunes!" Luke butted in, before Yerin added, "I was a raisin. They kept it warm, they tried to. There were strange petals [in there.]"

Luke added, "Petals that were decomposing. You know when you have cereal and they start decomposing in the milk? It was a bit like that after a few hours. The romance of it!"

Fast forward to five minutes here to see:

Speaking on Capital Breakfast, Yerin added, “There’s a scene where we are in a bathtub and basically I put baby powder all on me because I was told it would help dry my skin to put the intimacy wear on with my tape, and then basically the next day after the bathtub, I got hives all over my body, and I got folliculitis, so I and needed steroid cream! But I blame myself, because I think it was a combination of baby powder and the bath water. So it's me, I'm a sensitive gal!”

According to the NIH, folliculitis "is a common skin condition that usually involves infection of the hair follicle. While this condition is typically benign, prompt recognition can aid in the improvement of quality of life of patients with this condition."

Oh, and Luke Thompson noted that the scene took a full seven hours to film, so it's no wonder there were issues sitting in a tepid body of water for that long! But, ya know, the bathtub scene will go down in Bridgerton history, so at least there's that?
