Francis and Mary are at the castle discussing politics and Mary clearly tells him that she doesn't want to talk about politics and that she wants to talk about them. Francis declares to Mary that he is hers and only hers. Later out in the woods a blonde woman is staggering through the woods because of a carriage accident. Which later on we find out that the carriage accident wasn't actually an accident but on purpose for a human sacrifice to the Pagan gods.
Mary and her ladies are out in town and Bash approaches her and flirts with her. Her friends make a huge fuss about Bash liking her, but Mary is convinced that he just flirts with everyone. Greer is also busy looking for another potential suitor, seeing as though how everything fell out of place with Tomas. Even though she has feelings for the servant she 's been seeing, Leith Bayard, she knows that she is determined to wed into a wealthy family. Francis surprises Mary with a toy sailboat he has made for her and their intimate moment is soon interrupted by a servant needing to talk to Francis about the woman from the woods. As soon as Francis sees her he goes over to her a comforts her, leaving Mary high and dry. Bash tells Mary that the blonde woman is Olivia. She was in a relationship with Francis a few months before Mary arrived.
Francis takes Olivia to the castle and sets her up in a room and interrogates her with what happened in the woods. Olivia tells him that she doesn't know what happened exactly, only that the bandits were speaking a foreign language. Which totally is a giveaway because the only people we know about speaking a foreign language and is bad are the pagan sacrificers. Francis demands to know why Olivia has returned, she had to marry someone else. The only reason she came back was that her husband found out that she was in an intimate relationship before and left her.
