Does Mary Ever Become Pregnant Again
Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, and Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, cordially invite you, dear Royals, to nourish an extremely depressing wedding. It'southward black tie optional and they'll be serving whatever remaining part of Mary's soul exists after marrying someone for reasons other than truthful beloved. Seriously, the music Mary walks down the aisle to is appropriate for a whole slew of non-wedding events, like, for instance, a beheading.
And so if Mary really doesn't desire to ally Darnley, why doesn't she phone call the whole thing off? Well, she considers information technology for awhile. She has Catherine plot every bit to how they tin can placate all the nobles and earth leaders who only rolled into Scotland for the big day. Catherine'southward big program, of course, is to shower them with money and jewels. Makes sense. Mary is cool with this option only nonetheless wants Catherine to hold off until she's really ready to pull the trigger.
It's a proficient affair she pumps the breaks on stopping the wedding ceremony. Not too long after, Mary finds out she'southward pregnant with Darnley'south kid. This is the heir spoken about in the prophecy, the heir that will reign over a peaceful and united Scotland and England. If she doesn't marry Darnley and brand it wait similar this child was conceived in wedlock, the child will be deemed illegitimate and all hope is lost. Mary knows there is no way effectually information technology — she has to marry Darnley. It'due south a shame, too, because just moments later learning she'due south knocked upwards, Bothwell arrives to profess his love. He knows information technology's crazy, but in that location are just a few episodes in the show left and he has to make his move! He thinks he could be her keen love and that together they could figure out a mode around all that prophecy stuff. They make out, it'due south hot, but Mary has other things to deal with.
The main 1 existence: Just where the heck is Darnley? Every bit all the wedding guests assemble for some pre-nuptials festivities, the groom is nowhere to be establish. Oh, hey, remember that creepy, long-haired man who found Mary in the wood and delivered that prophecy from Bash? Well, his name is David Rizzio, and information technology turns out that when his hair is washed and he hasn't been wandering in the woods for days at a time, he is the best. He is loving court life, volition protect Mary at all costs, knows the importance of eating cake, and completely fangirls over coming together Catherine de Medici. Rizzio is all of united states. He also says wonderful things like, "No one gives a damn about the groom." And with that, Mary opens the festivities herself.
Eventually, James arrives with news that Darnley is in some sort of top-hush-hush meeting. How did he glean such information? Through Operation Sex Upwards Emily Knox, of course! While out on his latest rendezvous with the protestant leader's wife — Emily, past the way, is in way too deep with James — James discovers that Knox was helping Keira'southward husband, Lord White, figure out a way to murder Darnley to avenge his deceased wife while Darnley was going to be lonely at a meeting. James stops the murdering, only can't figure out simply who or where Darnley is coming together. Mary is sure Darnley's female parent would know, then she sends her all-time interrogator — Catherine, obviously — to pull the intel from Lady Lennox.
The two tiger moms meeting is just as delicious equally you'd expect, consisting mostly of them throwing shade at each other's sons. Eventually, Catherine susses out that Darnley is meeting with the Vatican's representative at the hymeneals in order to conversation near how Darnley can build up his ability. And thanks to Rizzio's underground love thing with the Cardinal'due south secretary, Father Julian, Rizzio tin lead Mary to exactly where Darnley is plotting behind her back. See? Rizzio is a queen'southward best friend.
Mary stomps into that cloak-and-dagger meeting equally fabled and every bit fearsome as ever, has her married man-to-be escorted out, and gives the Cardinal a very stern talking to well-nigh simply who is boss in Scotland. Although this is incredible to sentry, it doesn't come without consequences for the queen. Almost immediately, Mary hears from the Vatican that they will not exist helping her sway English border towns to switch over to the Scottish squad — a very important slice of the Taking the English Throne Puzzle. Information technology's non great news.
Here'due south some other bit of non great news: John Knox has figured out that Emily's been cheating on him with James. The scene in which he reveals this noesis to Emily as he has her watch a random woman in a village be humiliated and mocked in public for her adultery is pretty frightening. He won't force Emily in front of crowds, only he does tell her that James was only using her to get intel on him and never actually loved her. Then he makes her remove her shoes and dress and leaves her to figure out her own way. It's uncomfortable. Plain "her own way" leads a crazed-looking Emily right back to the Scottish castle, where she creeps on James who, at that very moment, is finally making a move on Lady Greer.
Okay, I fear for both James and Greer's lives with Emily lurking effectually, but mostly I AM SO EXCITED. Greer's baby daddy Pirate Marteen shows upwardly (James refers to him every bit the "bejeweled man" and has he always been more endearing?) for the wedding ceremony and to run into his daughter, and within one interaction he can totally tell there is heat between Greer and James. And he's a pirate! Pirates know things! They both one-half-heartedly deny information technology, but by they flirt up a tempest, James makes a very heartfelt plea for Greer to let Marteen into Rose's life (James knows a affair or two about being illegitimate) and that Greer shouldn't let any past mistakes ruin her future. Plus, expert things come from mistakes. Greer tearfully admits to not having the all-time track record when it comes to her dear life and how she wishes she had met someone like James at the right fourth dimension. They don't kiss, but James wipes away her tears. It is simply as skilful. Please don't hurt these two, Crazy Emily!
Such romantic drama and we haven't even gotten to the wedding yet! While Mary's getting ready, Rizzio arrives with some bad news. Well, offset he takes in the beauty of Mary'due south dress, then he delivers the news. Darnley is out of his heed drunk. Mary and Rizzio tend to him by shoving his head in a bucket of water and feeding him coffee, but boozer is drunk.
Darnley, meanwhile, wonders why Mary isn't drinking in order to get through this. At least he gets a crown, what does she get? Mary can't tell him the truth about her pregnancy until afterwards they've tied the knot, but information technology's just besides. Darnley attributes information technology to her bottomless well of ambition. He'due south very hateful when he'southward drunk and well-nigh to marry a person he hates. Go figure.
And and then, with the bride sad and meaning, and the groom sad and drunk, Mary and Darnley make it official. Information technology's a shame that such a lovely clothes has to exist wasted on such a depressing occasion. There'southward one silvery lining on such a terrible day: Catherine tells Mary that she had all the gilded and jewels she was going to bribe the nobles with sent to the villagers in all of the English edge towns — and they've changed allegiances to Scotland. They want to exist part of Mary'due south kingdom. She'south gaining momentum.
Unfortunately, she'south headed nowhere fast with Darnley. When she goes to their bedroom on their wedding night, she finds him passed out, drunk. She was going to attempt to avoid sleeping with him anyway, but still. It's not a great sign for things to come. Instead of dealing with Darnley all night, Mary finds herself on her balcony, looking down at Lord Bothwell. He hasn't given upwardly on her — she kissed him like she meant it. Just Mary just wants him to get away. If she makes one mistake — like, say, having an affair — she could lose everything. Bothwell could exist her undoing. What a super fun and not at all stressful wedding ceremony night!
Meanwhile, in England: There'southward always somebody who just can't find it in themselves to exist happy for the bride. As Mary is off dealing with wedding drama, all Elizabeth tin do is expect, accompanied by her current BFF Gideon, and come across how this Catholic marriage volition affect her grasp on the English throne.
When she receives discussion that several edge towns have switched allegiance to Scotland, Liz doesn't accept it well. In this case, not taking it well ways ripping down a portrait of her father, Henry Viii, and cursing his name. He is, after all, the reason for all of her current legitimacy problems. It's actually a very revealing moment for the character. This betrayal by her father is at the core of all her insecurities. The girl really loses it. She fears a Scottish invasion and has never felt and so solitary in her life. And so, what'due south a pal to do when his best mate is having a meltdown? Remind her how strong she is, of class, by manner of his tongue. That's right, yous guys. Liz and Gideon have their human relationship to the next level. The naked level. I'm not totally on lath with this development, but those 2 kids have had a crude become of it lately. Permit them numb the pain with a hookup session. It'due south only fair.
Outfit of the Calendar week: Typically a wedding apparel would be a shoo-in, merely you know what? A Mary, Queen of Scots wedding apparel has already its day in the sun. Plus, that rusty-orange and brownish gown she wears during the wedding festivities really spoke to me. Take nosotros e'er seen Mary in this color palette earlier? Plainly, nosotros're ushering in a new era for the queen in all aspects of her life. Go along with your orange cocky, girl.
