Reign 1x11 "Inquisition"

BEST. EPISODE. YET.

"Let down your hair" (you look old with it up)

I swear this episode had so many revelations and shockers that it felt like a season finale (thank God it's not!). Spoiler Alert (obvi): I always thought that Clarissa might be a deformed and disregarded child of Catherine, but I figured Henry was the father which is why their relationship is so strained, but boy was I wrong(ish)! Catherine had/ is still having (?) an affair with Viscount Richard Delacroix! Turns out the stress of not being able to conceive an heir for the King your first 10 years of marriage can really take a toll--so she decided to find "comfort" elsewhere. At this point, King Henry has all he needs to annul Catherine and sentence her to death (despite their sexy tryst) especially since she tried to kill Mary. I'm sorry Catherine, you are diabolical and pretty awesome (in some ways), but I'm pretty confused, first you ask Mary to save Francis by letting him go and now that she has she's pissed off again? I get that you don't want to lose your position as Queen but make up your mind woman!

Okay, now on to Mary and Bash.

No it's okay I only love your bro a little bit more than you

Let's all collectively sigh over the dreaminess that is Sebastian de Poitiers. Just wow. If he said even half of the things he says to Mary to me, I'd be jelly in his protective arms. Like, "My only interest is claiming you"?? How dare you. I'm legitimately a pile of feels over here. I know, I know, Bash is a fictional character, she ends up with Francis but omg how can you not like these two--at least for
now! Mary's "heart is open" now, so let's see how this relationship develops. Actually, my guess is not too far. Francis is back next week and Torrance Coombs (Bash) has shared several pictures of Bash chained up and beaten. I don't know if my heart can take it! But for now, let's enjoy the fact that they seem to have (albeit temporarily) incapacitated Catherine, and thrown off suspicion of Bash's Pagan ties. P.S Did you see the way Bash and Mary embraced after he pulled her out of the tub? Swoon!

I honestly don't know how the next episode can top the amazingness that was this week, but I am sorry Francis fans...two weeks without him? That's rough. Don't worry, he'll be back soon enough to reclaim everything. But not before the creepy Clarissa kidnaps the little princes and takes them out to the woods to "raise" them...see you February 27th!

oooh ooh one more thing, Frary fans, if you are still reading, which you probably aren't this review was Bash heavy, remember, when Mary and Francis get married he dies very shortly afterwards. I would think that y'all wouldn't mind the prolonging of their relationship...unless you want Francis to die? Right, didn't think so.
