I'm glad Adelaide said that Mary has made dumb decisions because it is true. She almost caused a civil war in Scotland that would also have involved France. If Catherine hadn't had the Scots killed (including the guy she had just slept with and who she really liked), how many thousands of Scots and French would have…

Mary is still a kid who needs to mature and grow up before she should be allowed to send men to their deaths. How many thousands would have died if the Scots had reached their country and told the Protestant leaders about the marriage contract? It would have caused a civil war and France, thanks to the alliance, would…

Only if your wife does act like a 5 year old. He did it to protect her. Every idea she's had so far as queen was not thought out. For example, she was trying to send 12 Scots with a message to the Protestants. That would have started a civil war in Scotland and France would have had to run to aid Marie de Guise and…

No it wasn't. If these men had reached Scotland and told the Protestant leaders what Marie de Guise had done, all hell would have broken lose and a civil war would have started. In which case France would have had no other choice than come to Catholic Marie's defense. Instead of 12 men, thousands would have died. Mary…

Mary is still a kid playing an adult game. When she instructed the 12 Scots to inform the Protestant leaders of what Marie de Guise had done, what did she think would happen? Catherine, who has been queen a lot longer, realized immediately that it would cause a civil war in Scotland. Which would mean that France would…

Girl on girl action? Well, Henry would LOVE to see that. LOL!!!

Yes, indeed. Which begs the question, if Henry does have syphilis, who else contracted it from him? He regularly slept with Diane, Kenna and even once recently with Catherine. I hope that he didn't get any of them sick.

I think that Penelope is going to find her demise via Catherine, not Henry. The little kitchen maid just made a very powerful enemy.

Drugged, not poisoned. It was a sedative to take Henry out of commission for a while, it wouldn't have killed him. Anyway, Penelope will get hers, sooner or later.

I hope that they can redeem Henry. Hopefully Nosty finds a cure for what ails him. My favorite couple are Catherine and Henry. I would hate to see him leave the show.
As for the "stupid kitchen whore", she'll come to regret the day that she crossed Catherine's path. NO ONE messes with Catherine de Medici and gets away…

Hear, hear!!! Megan is such in a good actress that she makes Catherine fascinating and a sympathetic character.

Season 3? OK, we are still in Season 1. So we'll still have fun with Catherine and Henry for some time to come. LOL!!!

They are not following history too closely, so I'm hoping that Henry lasts a bit longer. I like the chemistry and bantering between him and Catherine.

Has anyone seen the Canadian promo for next week's episode? Mary is holding someone in her arms who looks like Catherine, as she's yelling out for the guards. I think that Henry in his madness did something to Catherine.

This chronicle you speak of, do you mean in RL or on the show? I know how he died in RL.

Yes, it was obvious that Kenna wasn't into the girl on girl thing, but was too afraid to say no to the king. She even told Catherine that she drank too much wine.

I found the transformation of Henry from a willful scoundrel to an outright murderer of women, quite disturbing. I like the actor and the chemistry between him and Megan. Catherine and Henry are IMO the most interesting couple in the show. I only hope that they find a way to redeem him and not eliminate the character.

I just recently found this show and I enjoy watching it. My favorite by far is Catherine, she's such a complex and interesting character. This episode was a riot thanks to Henry and Catherine's machinations to try to cover the death of the Archduchess. Despite himself, Henry can't help but be attracted to his wife.…
