The revelation is that Caroline has been in the pay of Lord Narcisse; that she had fabricated being possessed by Henry II of France 's spiritual essence in order to get the King into confessing to his father's murder. Lord Narcisse hears this confession and blackmails King Francis into letting the Catholic murderers of Emile go free. When Queen Mary questions him, King Francis lies that he believes she will never give him an heir, which deeply hurts her. Lady Greer learns that Lord Castleroy is close to converting to Protestantism, but she accepts it and the pair are wed. Lady Lola is surprised when she's approached by none other than Lord Narcisse, with the intent of pursuing her as a sexual partner.
