Great news,The Greatis still great.
I amsohappyThe Greatis back and that Peter continues to be everyones No.
Well, there, and also with Peter and Catherine in couples counseling with a marriage witch.
I would describe the marriage witchs efforts as mildly successful.
Once again, I love them.
Catherine forgot she had Marial arrested but is in no hurry to release her.
This might be self-explanatory, but you’re able to shoot yourself or choose to fight a bear.
Orlo is very psyched about it (remember Orlo?
), but he also thinks Peter is dead, so hes just generally jazzed.
When Peter hears his friends face this bear-centered sentence, hes off to rescue them.
No one but Peter is happy about this, and so hes back to square one.
What a great show.
Elizabeth (and Archie, who is also still alive!)
promise Catherine they will help her govern, but she has to trust their methods.
Georginaimmediatelyaccepts and shoots Tatyana in the gut (Tatyana lives).
Let Georginas theme song for this episode be Reba McEntires Im a Survivor.
Everyone is figuring out their alliances in the first episode!
So many things have shifted.
Catherine, against all odds, has chosen Peter.
Orlo is out because he cant deal and keeps trying and failing at Peters assassination.
Get it together, Orlo.
Marial is no longer Catherines best friend, to which I say, noooooooooo!
Velementov and Elizabeth and Archie are pretty solid.
And that is indeed what Catherine decides to do.
Marial is so great, and I am extremely bummed about this.
The marriage witch thinks Catherine and Peter are doomed, but she murders two doves (pigeons?)
so that take the past from their blood.
), and the British and American ambassadors are fighting.
They both want support from Russia.
Wait, you say.
Great question, yes.
Oh, also, Marials child husband Maxim challenges Grigor to a duel!
Maxims a real buzzkill lately.
Yes, the latter is funny, but at whatcost?
The British diplomat, who is really tight with Peter, is nicknamed Johnny.
Hestechnically supposed to be this guy, but instead, his name is John Quirkton.
All of this is made up.
Just go with it.
When she refers to the War of Independence, Johnny says they prefer to call it The Ingratitude.
I love it so much.
But yes,no taxation without representation, etc.
England wants ten thousand troops and offers Menorca, an island in the Mediterranean with afascinating history.
Catherine wants more because, apparently, history isnt enough of an inducement.
Well played, Catherine.
), you are correct.This actoris English.
America wants loans and arms from Russia.
Glover tells Catherine shes got that it thing.
He and his fellow Americans get shit done and they are on the motherfucking cusp of victory.
Is this how other countries see us??
If so … touche.
Hes also helping Grigor practice dueling with a ten-year-old (is that how old Marials husband is?)
by walking on his knees.
What a meeting of idealism and realism in these two.
If you’re able to call Peters view of life realism.
Yes, lets go with that.
And Maxim KILLS him.
The viewers casually discuss raising the dueling age to twelve.
He also keeps going on about we the people, which Catherineloves.
Then she bangs the American ambassador to make things even between her and Peter.
She tells him, and he is quite upset.
