Reign "Snakes in the Garden" (Part 1)

In the beginning of this episode Mary is unsure of whole is plotting to get rid of her and her crown. Of course she knows that the English want her crown and her country, but from information Collin has told Lola it's someone in the French Court that wants her gone.

In the main hall, Queen Catherine is informing her middle son, Charles, about his young engagement to little Madelyn, who is nervous to meet him. Mary offers the King and Queen that she will also accompany Francis and Charles on their way to meet Madelyn. After Mary offers to accompany them, Catherine begins to make up reasons that she shouldn't go and that it wouldn't be a safe journey for her, but Mary tells her that she should go because she was in a similar situation as a young child so she could reassure Madelyn of their marriage.
                                                                                    
They soon depart for the coast and finally meet Lady Madelyn. But all of a sudden they realized they weren't greeted by a French ship, but rather an English warship. Francis begins to freak out and calls for the guards to get Mary out of the area so that she could be safe. Bash arrives in just the nick of time and tells Francis to halt what he's doing and reassures that the English ship isn't bad because Madelyn's French ship took on water and the English were there to help her continue on to her destination.

Fortunately there's a party held in the castle for Prince Charles and Lady Madelyn and it took Mary's mind off things for awhile, at least until she met the English convoy, Simon. He questioned Mary about her engagement and bond between Francis and basically said that he didn't think that Francis would marry her at the end. He also tells her that the English tried to poison her at the convent and threatened her if she doesn't end her engagement with France, England would soon take over Scotland. Luckily, Francis came to the rescue and got Mary out of the conversation. He told her that she was shaking and that she was showing fear in front of the English. He asks her if she could be strong and show the kingdom that she was going to be a strong ruler.
                                     
The next day Catherine tells Mary that Collin was alive and that he was going to sabotage her once he got out of jail. Mary doesn't care because she knew that Collin was being framed for what he did but just requested that Catherine and Henry bring him safely back so that he may question him herself and that he could be a witness/evidence. Meanwhile outside Mary and Francis were watching Charles and Madelyn play a game. Francis is insulted because he has a feeling that Mary was accusing Catherine for putting Collin into jail. After playing a few rounds of the game, Charles leaves and goes over to a narrow, darkened, doorway. Mary finds him speaking into the doorway and asked him who he was talking to. Charles avoids the question but later told her that it was his friend named, Clarissa. Mary tells him that Clarissa might have visited her and helped her before.
