Some may call me a historical geek, but let's be honest, I kind of am. I recently just started watching this show called "Reign" on the CW channel because my friend suggested that since I've been so into historical fiction lately I should probably check it out. So I watch the episode the first time and keep in mind I honestly have no clue on what's going on. The first thing I did was check out some sites that had information on the series and this first site gave me a pretty good overview of how the episode was going to play out.
After spending a childhood of being safely hidden away in a convent, a teenage Mary Stuart arrives in France where she has been sent to Secure Scotland's strategic alliance by formalizing her arranged engagement to the King Henry Valois' dashing son, Prince Francis. While Mary stays at the convent hoping that it will safely keep her away from the English from wanting her crown she witnesses one of the nuns dying from eating the porridge that she suspects the English tried to poison her with. After realizing that she was of age to be married and that the convent was no longer a safe place for her to stay the nuns send her back to French court.
Upon arriving at French court, Mary reunites with her best friends, Kenna, Greer, Lola, and Aylee. She feels relieved because she doesn't have to deal with the French all by herself. While Mary and Francis get acquainted, Catherine asks Nostradamus about what he saw in his vision and he tells her, "It's all clear now, Francis' union with Mary will cost him his life."Later that day Mary and her ladies in waiting prepare for Elizabeth, Francis' sister's wedding. The girls explore the castle because they haven't been back since they were children so Mary goes back to rooms she remembered being in and just so happened to stumble in on Francis while he was sharpening his swords. She was feeling very unpleasant when she knew that he wasn't the only one in his room and about the phrase he said, "Husbands are not under the obligation to answer to their wives." She leaves his room unhappily and goes over by the lake with her dog. Her dog is scared by a noise and runs towards the woods. Bash just so happens to stop Mary from going into the woods in just the nick of time or else she would have been made a sacrifice to the pagan gods.
