Editor’s Note: The following contains major spoilers for Jilly Cooper’s book Polo, which Rivals is partially based on.The first half of Rivals Season 2 closes with an explosive episode that taught us several shocking lessons — never drive while angry in a storm, never sleep with your boss, and absolutely never develop the film in your Dad’s camera. Actually, if you live in Rutshire, it’s probably best that you ignore what your father is doing altogether.
We also met heart-throb Rupert Campbell-Black’s (Alex Hassell) children for the first time — Tabitha (Charlotte Rice-Foley) and Marcus (Leo Weston), who bonded well with Taggie (Bella MacLean) but despised Cameron (Nafessa Williams) and her idea that fruit salad qualifies as pudding. New characters also include members of the Rutshire Polo scene, the Carlisle twins (Bobby Lockwood and Maxim Ays), and Perdita MacLeod (Holly Cattle). The twins are already a big hit with Shelley Makepiece (Emma Shipp) but Perdita’s place in the wider story still remains a mystery. However, if her arc follows Jilly Cooper’s original novels, it won’t be long before we’re again learning that, in Rutshire, it really is best to ignore what your father is doing.
Who Is Perdita MacLeod in ‘Rivals’ Season 2 on Disney+?
We first spy Perdita when she arrives at Freddie Jones’ (Danny Dyer) ostentatious Bella Vista for a pool party alongside the “heavenly” twins, Sebbie and Dommie — unidentical in height and, apparently, girth, according to Caitlin (Catriona Chandler). Perdita is charming and knows it. Freddie describes her as one of “Bas’ stick chicks,” remarking that “they only let beautiful people play polo.” She’s absent from the main storyline but attracts the attention of the men from afar, including Patrick (Gabriel Tierney), who rubs his oil onto his chest while locked in her gaze. You may think a new pairing is brewing, but she later shuts him down, saying that she prefers “successful men,” adding, “no offense.”

The TV series may also be positioning Perdita as yet another stumbling block in the way of Rupert and Taggie finally being together or be another hurdle that Rupert will have to overcome on his path to ultimate redemption. In any capacity when back half of Rivals Season 2 releases in November Perdita is going to shape up story line. It’s unclear what she knows about her relationship to Rupert though it seems she’s as oblivious as we are but if Declan believed that this information would ruin Rupert then we should all be concerned.
