Mary’s dalliance in S&M leaves a, um, lasting impression.
They said it couldnt be done.
And trips over it and is impaled in the head.

AND MARY AND CATHERINE ARE THERE THE ENTIRE TIME.
Guys, this actually happens.
You are not dreaming.
Since Marys had her fair share of being hunted down by men, she politely declines.
Shes more of a tea jot down of girl, anyway.
Catherine advises Mary to rethink her decision.
An alliance with Spain would be a great boon to Scotland.
Mary wastes no time in bringing this up to the new English Ambassador, Gideon Blackburn.
She makes sure he knows that Englands bullying will have made themtwoenemies.
Immediately, Gideon realizes this means Mary has every intention of marrying Don Carlos and forming a Spanish alliance.
Since Gideons mission is to see to it this alliance never happens, he has to act fast.
Thats right, Marys totally into the Hare and the Hound now.
Don Carlos is pumped.
WHY DIDNT YOU SAY SO IN THE FIRST PLACE, BEARD?
The game begins and Mary is horrible at it.
While in pursuit of The Beard, she ends up rolling her ankle.
During her slow hobble back to the castle, she runs into her newly sworn enemy: Gideon Blackburn.
You guys, he carries her all the way back like, IN HIS ARMS.
Its going to be so great.
And then Don Carlos unveils his S&M sex apparatus.
Could that nice girl be Mary?
Well, he sure wants her to try for Scotland.
is just so perfect and soMary,that my heart might burst.
He rips off his blindfold and finds Catherine standing there.
Hes betrayed, embarrassed, andfurious.
As he tries to flee, he trips and goes tumbling down along with his apparatus.
In the melee, he CRACKS HIS SKULL.
Hes not dead, you guys!
Catherine and Mary have a lot of explaining to do.
Keep your booing to a minimum, kindly.
Luckily, theres another dead body with a missing heart to investigate!
The latest victim in the storyline no one particularly cares about is down in the village.
Greer insists they remain open and catch this guy once and for all.
Were having a royal sting operation!
While they all wait for the killer to reveal himself, Greer and Leith have a much needed heart-to-heart.
Greer notices Claudes pin on Leiths cloak (she pinned him, you guys!
), and loves that Leith seems truly happy in this crazy, mixed-up world.
Eventually, we discover that all of this wise introspection is merely a side effect of Greers secret pregnancy.
Thats right, little miss Madam is having a baby!
The killer appears and by just touching Delphine, transfers his blood lust to her.
The big takeaway, however, is that the murderer escapesagainand this storyline lives to see another day.
It will be soon, and she reminds Narcisse how important a vote from him would be.
In return for his support, shell make him Lord Chancellor the second-highest post in France.
Narcisse is pretty thrilled with the potential promotion, but Lola is wary of Catherines true intentions.
Narcisse is too into the power move to really care, though.
Catherine feels pretty great about the trade-off as well.
Everythings coming up Catherine!
So, Narcisse does both there in the bedroom, and later in the privy council vote.
Catherine looks to Narcisse for help, and instead finds a man ready to usurp her power.
Narcisse humbly agrees to offer himself as regent while Catherine sorts these accusations out.
Does the S stand for Stephane or Snake today?
I think you know the answer to that.
The gold chain sleeves, the ample decolletage, and did I mention the sparkles?
Get em, girl.
