Get your tea cups, and lets get started, shall we?

However, after last weeks turn of events, excitement in the palace is basically at an all-time low.

(Rather rudely, I might add.)

The monarchy is a brand.

(Shocking, right?)

This sparks Helena to action, though not the way you might think.

But what about the fact that Helena slept with Jasper?

Helena explains it off by saying that she was trying to protect Eleanor and her heart.

I always have, and I always will.

Seriously, all the feels.

No, not picking out jewelry or ordering around the servants: cozying up to the crown.

Ditch the bitch, she says.

I know, I know the words truth and Cyrus dont quite belong together.

Thats the power of logical reasoning, people.

So off Violet goes, all perfectly curled hair and brand-new pricey shoes.

(Though neither of them knows that the other is playing detective, natch.)

He goes, gun in hand, and what does he find?

An innocent-looking dude stirring a pot of potato leek soup in the kitchen.

Heres the scoop: Domino was his deceased sister Dominique.

Liam, your mothers family hosted the event.

My dad, his whole family destroyed.

Emotionally, financially, everything.

Proving Dominique was killed, getting justice its the family business.

In fact, her dad seems 100 percent certain that Pryce killed the king.

Pryce says nothing to incriminate himself, and with no proof offered up, its a hard sell.

But could she have had something to do with Dominiques death?

Could she have poisoned Dominiques horse?

Is there more to the story than Helena is sharing?

How, you may ask?

And guess what: Violet, as fate would have it, is nowhere to be found.

(If a possible connection to Domino isnt exposed first!)

People are always telling me what an ungrateful spoiled little brat you are.

You have been given all the material things in life, thats true.

But perhaps I should have given you more of myself.

She could break the spirit of any animal, human or otherwise.

Youve never seen that side of your grandmother…

Her anger can be terrifying.

Real-life royal reference score:2 (Of course Eleanors most prized possession is a horse how regal of her!

Also, tea on a marble table outside?

Come on, now!)

So who do you think is really to blame for Dominos death?

Is Violet gone for good?

Could Cyrus fall into another downward spiral one that he might not ever recover from?

And was it just me, or did I sense some sparks between Liam and Dominos beautiful blonde niece?
