E!
MostLeast Surprising TwistRemember #KingLiam?
Liam isnt even thinking about this; hes too concerned about how to handle his relationship with Kathryn.
That is, until Cyrus reminds him, Tomorrow, youll be invisible.

E!
I dont trust him.
And not just because I dont love the way he treats Sparrow.
A mention of Cyrus dim-witted daughters!)

E!
Unfortunately for Helena, Robert, Liam, et al., it works.
Youre going to lie down while they put a legally dead person on your throne?
Wheres the man I used to love to hate?

E!
That man used to preach religiously that there was always another way, Veruca says.
That man weaseled his way onto the throne of historys greatest empire.
Where the bloody hell is that man?
Verucas strong words dont stop there.
Youve never loved anyone but yourself, she reminds Cyrus, so find a way to love yourself again.
He takes her advice rather literally, inviting his vapid lookalike, Chad, into his bed.
Lets start with: What accent should I use?
Too bad Roberts still not very impressed when theyre finally introduced.
Shes rightfully shocked, shouting, Jesus!
Well, no, not quite, Robert responds.
I didnt technically die and then come back from the dead.
I just didnt die like they thought I did.

Roberts SpeechYep, we transcribed it.
Here ya go:
Hi.
Without control of my plane, I was forced to eject at the last minute.
I careened into the water and fell unconscious.
I awoke on the shore of a desert island.
But I leapt at the first opportunity I had to be rescued.
I can say that when I came to, I was completely stripped of hope.
So, no, I never lost hope.
Patience, however, thats a different story.
Lets commit to a new era for our kingdom.
Dare I say, weve only just begun.
