Because you wanted your freedom. I know you, Lola, we shared more than a friend in Paris and I know how you feel about Court. You didn't want to be tied to it or to me. I don't blame you, there's little for you in it and one night should not define your life, or mine. But I would have liked to have been consulted in the choice, so forgive me if I no longer consult you in mine.

Francis

You've already done plenty. Your hesitation to take a life has kept me from taking many, for I simply didn't have time before falling ill to murder that household. There's something else you should know. I didn't want to be me, either. I blame Henry. Being unloved by your King is excruciating -- and dangerous.

Catherine

It's 12 corpses, all adults. No shovels, no hooks! Keep your gloves on and wrap them with care.

Bash

Francis: I don't know what role he'll have at court, but I want to be a part of my son's life. Of this child's life. But we will have others. Mary, my father's indiscretions were blatant, but out of respect for his wife he gave Bash no title or standing. It hurt him and it hurt me to see it.
Mary: The eyes of the world are watching to see if we will, if I can bear an heir, not just for France, for Scotland and England as well. I know this has nothing to do with the role you decide to have in your son's life.
Francis: Well perhaps it should.
Mary: Those who are close to us, even here at court, will know the truth. Mother has guessed it already. Spend time with your son, absolutely...
Francis: But don't claim him. Officially you mean.
Mary: Yes.

Francis: I heard you had a hand in our new chambers as well.
Catherine: One bedroom for husband and wife. Good luck with that!

Lord Narcisse: My son was healthy when he was thrown in with servants riddled with Plague. I know this because a witness, a survivor has told me this tale. My son was deliberately infected.
Mary: I assure you, if a mistake was made, Nostradamus meant no harm.

Your actions spared no one, saved nothing and cost us all dearly! Narcisse wants the guards who took his son to the catacombs executed as well.

Catherine

Francis: The Plague shortages have given too much power to Narcisse. The nobles follow him now and they are watching our every move.
Mary: Then let them watch you and let you be above reproach. This was my mistake and I'll fix it.

Mary: I am your Queen. I command you.
Lord Narcisse: You will command nothing! I don't fear you. I don't fear your husband! Because without me, without the other nobles your power disappears. We are the outside world and we surround you.

I know I told you to go to Lola, but then the Plague came and you knowingly abandoned me to a nightmare. You are the King who deserted his castle and I am the Queen who was left behind, alone. Alone because of your mistakes. Of all the people you could have slept with, did it have to be one of my ladies? One of my closest friends?

Mary

You think you're untouchable, that your sins will stay buried, but they don't.

Nostradamus

Love is irrelevant to people like us.

My dear, this was not an act of passion. It was treason.
