Well, history is just all higgledy-piggledy in this show, isnt it?
Anyone can die at any moment.
Is that interesting and fun?
Catherine is extremely sad because Hercule is her favorite (I love all my children equally.
You never see men worrying about this shit.
Theyd be like, I had that weird egg dream again.
Probably means I should buy some more chickens.
Also another son died, but Ive got a bunch more, so its fine.
(These are 16th-century men.)
Charles tells her he went with his gut.
Your gut is an idiot, Charles.
Also, youre into your sister, so I cant with you this week.
Anjou says, I thought they think Im a deviant, and Charles replies, That was last month.
Okay, thats a good joke.
Charles says the Holy Roman emperor, a.k.a.
Rupert Everett, will definitely back this plan.
He does want Sister Edith gone but not martyred.
Im anti-murder, but can someone just kill Edith, and we can be done with all this?
Shes out here saying shit about God, like, Let our blood water His forest.
Its not good, Edith!
Oh, speaking of Rupert Everett, his son Philip is with him.
and seems to have once made a shoemaker eat his shoes.
Philip II was just an asshole who abandoned Elizabeth Is half-sister Mary then tried to creep on Elizabeth.
Catherine goes to see her magician friend Ruggieri, being like, I had the egg dream again.
Shes immediately like,Oh, so I have to kill Anjou.
This is a bit of a leap, folks, but I guess not if youre really into magic.
I really really like the new Rahima!
Why is she relegated to a maximum of three lines per episode!
Last season was so wrapped up in Catherine teaching Rahima!
Its very vaguely givingMiranda Richardson inBlackadderbut without the ineptitude.
The FIT that evangelical teenage me would have thrown over this scene.
But no third-base nonsense.
Thats all the Elizabeth we get for this week, though, which is a real bummer.
To wrap up, Alessandro shows up and still has high-key flirting energy with his half-sister, Catherine.
Look, man, I dont want to ship this; Im just calling it like I see it.
He gives her a medal of the patron saint of lost causes and says it was their fathers.
Rahima later calls him out for full-on lying about this, which he does not deny.
This is completely out of left field!
Why is there so much incest on this show?
Good for the horse.
