AMY BRENNEMAN GUEST STARS -- Mary's (Adelaide Kane) mother (guest star Amy Brenneman) returns to advise Mary that her throne is in jeopardy. Mary makes a shocking proposition to Condé (Sean Teale), along with a bold move to reclaim her throne. Francis (Toby Regbo) moves closer to Lola (Anna Popplewell) after a setback with Mary, while King Antoine (guest star Ben Aldridge) makes Kenna (Caitlin Stasey) an interesting offer.
Recap is here.
"Tasting Revenge" is the title for the next episode and is scheduled to air on Thursday, March 12. Preview photos here.
As for "Forbidden".....Lola being high was hilarious! Marie de Guise is her usual self. Mary is still suffering, and making Francis suffer in the process. Greer is becoming an accidental madam. Poor thing doesn't even have her husband for comfort. And Kenna got an offer from Antoine to be his next queen. I do hate seeing Bash ignore her so....he knows what she wants and hasn't put much effort in showing up for her, and since she doesn't have a job, that's a lot of hours of boredom.....and I think Kenna is one of those people that boredom = trouble since she was a little girl. And I don't think Antoine will keep taking no for an answer for long.
And then there's Conde.....Mary wants him to be her consort in Scotland, but allegedly, Elizabeth wants to make him a king.
In actual history, Elizabeth considered many suitors, foreign and domestic, but ultimately refused to marry. Francis died in 1560 and his little brother Charles inherited the throne. Mary returned to Scotland in 1561 to a country run by Protestant nobles supported by Elizabeth. Mary married Henry Stuart in 1565, had a son in 1566, and then married James Hepburn in 1567 a few months after Stuart was murdered. Elizabeth never trusted her. Mary's son was taken from her to be raised as a Protestant and Elizabeth had Mary imprisoned for the rest of her days. On February 8, 1587 Mary was beheaded at age 44.
Of course, fans of the show hope our Mary has a happier ending! I think it's safe to say "Reign" has veered quite a bit from history at this point.
