Ghost Francis can always visit Mary in Scotland.

"Oh, no! Aloysius' biggest pepper puchaser, Narcisse's guests for the spa day/orgy, and the Dean of Admissions for the prep school little Timmy Castleroy needs to get into are arriving all at the same time!"
*Cue Benny Hill Theme

He actually sits on a three-legged stool next to his wife's throne.

When Lola asked if sex with him would have to be dirty, I could only think, "Of course it won't be dirty with all the baths!"

Kenna: "Antoine understands what I need! Look at this dress he gave me!"
Bash: "I give you dresses, Kenna! I killed that cheetah with my bare hands!"

Lola was so much fun, and good on Narcisse for not taking advantage. However, why did Narcisse have the run of the castle, snapping his fingers at servants and being able to order doctors? He's just not being punished at all now? Is the punishment for an attempted coup that you can still go to fancy parties, just…

I was surprised that Lagertha especially hadn't tried to learn English from Athelstan.

New band name: Floki's Midlife Crisis.

I feel like the scene of the snake pit in season 1 was put in there as a concession to the mythology, but I don't think Ragnar will die like that. The actor would have to thrash around on a pile of non-venomous snakes, but maybe that's not good for snakes and animal-rights groups would intervene, so everything would…

According to scenes with Princess Kwen last season, Ecbert isn't exactly sexual dynamite. Lagertha's not going to be impressed.

After this episode, I continue to think Jeanne told her husband she was sick to plot his downfall.

Castleroy could come back with an offer from Elizabeth to be a spy, but rejected it because he's too loyal. Then Greer steps in and says, "Mary made me go live in a tavern, but I crawled my way out. I can certainly have these prostitutes gather intelligence for us."
Even better, I like the idea that Lola or Kenna has…

If Mary and Louis make it to Scotland, I hope Mary's half-brother is excited to see her at first, then realizes she makes awful decisions and says, "Why don't you sit over here and listen to this visiting Italian gentleman play his mandolin?"
It seemed from the preview (and from the presumed budget) that they won't…

Last night I kept automatically making a sound of disgust when I saw Louis' one-expression face.

What about that woman she went on a sketching holiday with? Oh, right.

You're right that Anna is usually not concerned about the behavior of the upstairs family. Plus, you'd think she had much more important things to worry about right now. It would have made more sense for Daisy to witness it, and she could have said, "Iz jes nah right!"

Green went to Piccadilly Circus to meet his new friend Yardley, nicknamed Y. He wasn't saying, "Why are you here?" but rather "Y, are you here?"
The fact that Yardley was Bates' prison roommate is a story for another day.

Each of the children should get a puppy. In George's case, it will probably be the most affection he will ever receive.

Blake had such an insightful line to Gillingham about Mary, something about her "instinct to keep all men in her thrall." He's fooling himself if he thinks that will change just because Gillingham is out of the picture.

Charles Blake and Mabel Lane-Fox seem to have a perfect understanding of Mary's and Tony Gillingham's characters. That being the case, why on earth would they want to have anything more to do with them?
