It was undoubtedly one ofReigns clumsier threats against our queens.
But it is no more!
Inquiring minds want to know!

But Im getting ahead of myself.
Lets talk attempted regicide.
Wasting no time, Dudley is already in France and proposes to Mary.
Its tres romantic, you guys.
Every little girls dream proposal!
Mary is a boss.
Post-sexual relations, Mary, her flawless hair, and Gideon finalize their plan.
It just so happens that Joseph Tudor sought asylum in France when Elizabeth ascended to the throne.
Mary also discovers that shady Archbishop Ridolfi has been borrowing royal carriages to run holy errands.
This does not mean going to Target and spending less than $100.
Mary realizes that Archbishop Shady has been in touch with Joseph Tudor all this time.
Unfortunately, Archbishop Shady wont go down without a fight.
It is unfortunate, then, that Dudley and Gideon are, well, less than friends.
Dudleys hated Gideon since that time Gideon seduced Elizabeth.
He also doesnt take too kindly to Gideon brazenly sleeping with his fiancee.
Dudley comes around, though, and quickly finds himself back in front of Elizabeth.
On Mary and Gideons end, its a bit of a win-lose situation.
This makes very little sense because the Vatican is trying to keep its machinations hush-hush, but sure.
And so to save his life, Mary bids farewell to the G-man and this too-much-talk-not-enough-action succession plot.
Leith divulges this info to Claude (Greer is having a pirate baby?!
Leith and Claude head into town and follow Thomas and Greers gold to a local pub.
When Thomas meeting looks a little too comfortable for an extortion handoff, Claude investigates further.
Turns out there is no blackmailer Thomas was using the money to purchase a chateau in Switzerland.
They want to be parents, not babysitters.
This little adventure brought them closer together.
Claude wants to apply their successful teamwork to Leiths mission to rise in station.
Shell use her name to open some doors for him, and hell get to work.
Im sure nothing will go wrong with this plan and theyll end up happily ever after!
To do so, he must figure out who is behind the threat.
First stop: A high-end brothel full of courtesans the original Red Knights used to visit.
She wasnt raising Satans spawn!
Also, happy belated Mothers Day everyone!
French Thor, we hardly knew ye!
Luckily, Bash captures the man and hands him over to Catherine.
And then he plunges himself into Christophes knife.
Alas, stranger things have happened onReign.
The Queens Corner of Harsh Lady Truths:
A favor for your ex versus Paris with me?
Claude is seriously confused by Leiths choices.
I sent him to French Court to woo Mary.
Hes more of a male prostitute than a master of diplomacy.
We always knew Elizabeth was matter-of-fact, but this might take the cake.
Have you ever been to England, Archbishop Ridolfi?
Everythings damp; the foods wretched.
Trust me when I say, he will be in his own hell.
Is Catherine de Medici the real reason the Brits hate the French?
Work, Catherine, WORK.
