We have less Sister Edith and more Elizabeth this week, which is excellent.
Were not out here watching depressing documentaries in these very upsetting times.
(Why did Robchoose those overalls?)
This is how I prefer to occupy my thoughts.
All of this comes as a surprise to the Bourbons, who think Elizabeth is in the Netherlands.
But no, shes at court as a prospective bride for Charles.
Again, this ismade-up nonsense, but we shouldnt care.
Elizabeth chatting with Catherine de Medici is my Wattpad One Direction fanfic.
Catherine is determined to make this marriage happen to further her goal of uniting France and ensuring peace.
Also, hes being super off-putting in that particular way recent converts can be.
He tries to convince his brother Francois to go see Sister Edith.
Although telling her so may have burned a bridge.
Steve isnt going to be like, Oh, wow, thank you for that information.
Elizabeth sweeps into the French court with Throckmorton at her side.
The music is killing it here.
Throckmorton says if France gives Calais back to England, they can maybe come to an arrangement regarding Mary.
Elizabethdid really want Calais back!
Even though it made zero sense why it should be part of England.
Elizabeth and Anjou verbally spar in one of my favorite moments, and Catherine invites Elizabeth on a hunt.
Before said hunt, Louis visits Elizabeth because his feelings are hurt and he thought they had something.
Then she throws open her skirts and tells him to make himself useful.
Again, teenage me would havehatedthis.
Its truly the reason I am here.
Elizabeth is on a horse wearing a bird headdress with distinctively owlish characteristics.
Andpulling it off, I might add.
Elizabeth makes a bet with Catherine that whoever gets the biggest deer can set the terms of the marriage.
An embarrassingly obvious metaphor once Cosimo Ruggieri tells us the raven is a symbol for England!
This is very five little monkeys jumping on the bed vibes, down to three and possibly two.
This scene isperpetuating some more ahistorical nonsense, but itsfine.
Actually, you know what?
This is the late 16th century, by which time people were very aware of a non-flat Earth.
Scientists werent burned by the Church for saying that.
Scientists got in trouble for sayingthe Earth revolves around the sun, which isdifferent.
Anyway, I am not proAlessandro and Rahima.
Rahimas too good for him and his pandering talk of being free and teaching her things she already knows.
and he says its a warning.
Couldnt you have sent her a message saying Hey, come see me in the forest?
This is soweird,Cosimo.
An owl flies after her.
Catherine assures everyone that hes fine, hes fine.
Wait, so is Anjou going to be king now?
