Reign 2.18 Reversal of Fortune

Reign 2.18 Reversal of Fortune
Are Conde and Mary no more now? She looks really wishy-washy with her decision now. Francis escaped a close call there, but he granted Mary "permission" to live out what she wants. The issue at hand is that she's half committing both to her marriage and her love affair. It doesn't work that way, especially when your a queen with minimal power at the moment.

I found it interesting to have the episode start and end with Conde's situation with Mary at complete extremes. Without a doubt he's given up more for her. She needs to either back out completely and let him go or make a concrete decision on what to do. It looks like both nations are suffering, and it's only getting worst now with French troops heading over to Scotland.

Leith is so optimistic with Greer, it's actually very comforting. I don't get Claude's spoiled attitude. I know Leith is her newly appointed chaperone, but this may get quite boring as well. No one likes to be a babysitter to royalty, might as well be a person in waiting. Greer looks headstrong with her new found business. It was an accident that turned into something profitable and useful to her survival. She's kind of the only smart lady in all of this, finally doing something for herself.

Conde better make up his mind soon. He can't keep waiting on Mary, he's got to make decisions for himself is she's not willing to protect him.
