Catherine informing Francis and Mary about Henry's poisoned Bible ensues an investigation by Bash who was responsible for Henry's madness and all the problems that followed. Initial evidence implicating Louis is countered by Narcisse's stronger evidence that it was the doing of Mary's uncle, the Duke of Guise, in a romantic triangle with Catherine. In fact Antoine was the instigator and bribed Narcisse into framing and killing the Duke of Guise before he could be questioned. Francis still wishes to reconcile with Mary, who has secretly grown attached to Louis. Greer, struggling to find a livelihood, befriends prostitute Sharlene (Linzee Barclay) and helps set her up with a customer.
