- The tensions between the Protestants and Catholics increases because of the edict Lord Narcisse blackmailed Francis into signing. Mary and Francis' relationship hits a wall due to the secrets he is keeping. Queen Catherine is still dealing with ghosts from her past while trying to deal with her daughter, Princess Claude.—Nikki Alice Madalyn Bordeaux
- Tensions escalate between Mary and Francis when Vatican inquisitors perform barbaric acts on anyone suspected of being a Protestant. After a brave proclamation, Lord Conde is abducted, resulting in a precarious situation with a surprising group of assailants. Catherine experiences an annoying setback when she plays matchmaker on behalf of a reluctant Claude, while Narcisse offers a stranded Lola an innocent horse ride back to the castle, where a dark secret involving Francis is revealed.
- As king Francis feared, the edict blackmailer Narcisse forced him to sign enables cardinal Vasari's Swiss inquisition guards to unchain a blind and bloody persecution of suspected Protestants. He confides only in Bash to encourage Mary's estrangement from him in order to see her safely back in Scotland, but she refuses a separation and leans of Louis Condé. Queen-mother Catherine fears her late twins' ghosts will revenge themselves on sister Claude and plans therefore to force her into a marriage with a Bavarian count's son, allegedly to reassure trade, but bash realizes it's of little consequence and the unwilling bride attempts to become undesirable by flaunting her utter lack of sexual decency, so her mother bribes a prelate to ritually find her 'a virgin'. The Protestant-outed prince is abducted to attend a secret forest service and agrees to bring the minister to court to negotiate more tolerance, but the king is horrified to hear he's part of a violent group of radicals who planted a bomb, which he only reveals under torture on the rack, which proves a multiple betray-trap to spark a religious civil war.—KGF Vissers
