Synopsis
King Henry is furious with his wife after hearing the news of her possible attempt to get rid of his son, Sebastian. As a result, he arrests her for treason, and accuses her of having an affair with Nostradamus. Catherine tries to expose Sebastian for the person he once was to save her own life, while Mary and Bash try to expose Catherine's own dark past.
Quotes

Mary Stuart: It will be hard to destroy us both when you're without your head.
Queen Catherine: Ahh, so it's to be a race, is it?!
