Sara Garcia

Queen Mary discovers a leak amongst her advisers and sets out to uncover the traitor. Queen Elizabeth enlists in Narcisse to further her quest for supremacy, and Catherine goes to extreme measures to regain some of her lost power.

Gideon shows Mary what life would be like if she chose love, Catherine struggles to cover King Charles' unpredictable behaviour, and Claude finds an unexpected enemy.

Darnley receives a surprise visitor, endangering his marriage to Mary. Elizabeth learns her efforts to stop Mary failed, and Catherine and Narcisse find King Charles and endeavour to convince him to return to the castle.

Mary's perilous move for her survival makes her realise that perhaps she is not the only one who may not survive. Elizabeth steadies herself for war and realises she and Mary might be more similar than either thought.

Mary faces the political repercussions of a potential marriage to Lord Darnley. King Charles disappears, leaving Catherine to deal with the aftermath, Elizabeth helps Gideon, and Claude receives an interesting proposition.

A terrible tragedy pushes Mary and Darnley apart; Elizabeth is asked to support an expedition to the New World.
