Reign 1.09 For King and Country

Reign 1.09 For King and Country
That was a quick return to the palace grounds. The chase didn't last very long, but it looks as if Francis was determined to have both Mary and Bash found at all costs.

This became such a tangled web. I didn't know Mary would suggest legitimizing Bash in order to save Francis. Clearly Francis isn't pleased with the turn of events, but I do think this will come back at her.

Bash wasn't happy with the news, especially with spending most of the episode down in the dungeons. If his mother Diane returns, I wonder if Bash will have a safety net behind him. With Diane on the run, Bash looks completely alone. Mary is the only other person who is somewhat cheering for him, but it's complicated since it's all Mary juggling different ideas to rule.

Clarissa stabbed Nostradamus!! This is intense, does this mean Clarissa escaped in the castle walls? I know she's getting punished for killing Aylee, but she can't get far without Nostradamus bleeding on the floor =/

I also didn't see Francis and his younger brothers getting stripped of everything entitled to their name. I thought he would stick around, similar to how Bash always got the perks of remaining on the castle grounds. He sounded really bitter telling Mary long may she reign. If the producers want to stay true to the historical aspect of this family line, they'll eventually pair Mary up with Francis in the end.

It was a great comeback episode, but I think Catherine won't rest until she kills somebody else. She wasn't expecting Mary to take away the inheritance, but wasn't her only condition was to keep Mary away from Francis? Here it is and here are the consequences. I can't wait for the next episode!!
