Our (Late) Dear Brother's Death
The palace is thrown into disarray with Robert's return. Helena orders them on lockdown until they can figure out what's going on and hold a press conference to release all the news at once. Robert has a lot to catch up on and is given the files on his "death" as well as his father's. Eleanor panics and introduces Jasper to Robert as Liam's security, not her boyfriend. Duchess Veruca slaps sense into Cyrus, insisting he is the king. Liam is especially thrown by Robert's return and evades Kathryn's texts all day. Liam encourages Eleanor to be honest with their brother, so she introduces him to Jasper properly as her boyfriend. Robert and Liam go for a walk and Robert says he approves of Jasper. Liam doesn't realize until too late that they are walking to Kathryn's pub. Kathryn is floored to see Robert. Later, Liam secretly sneaks out to see her and they sadly agree not to see each other anymore. At the press conference, Helena reveals the DNA results. The press questions if Liam will now ascend the throne, but Robert steps up to the podium, sending everyone into a frenzy. He relates the story of his plane crash and time on the island. Liam stand behind him, literally in his shadow once again.
