Attending the Duke of Guise's funeral at the royal court, Marie de Guise pressures 'favorite protegee' Mary to conceive an heir and gives her opiates to help her relax. Despite feeling used heartlessly, Mary agrees for political need, but she and Francis still can't have sex, and Francis learns about Mary's tentative feelings for Louis. Marie de Guise confiding that she is dying, Mary decides she should return to Scotland soon, and asks Louis to join her. Louis must however ponder that royal brother Antoine has obtained a secret political dream marriage proposal for Louis from Elizabeth of England, Antoine even blackmails him by all means. Kenna feeling neglected by Bash allows Antoine to try to seduce her for his vengeance. Bash investigates the woman in white, nun Delphine (Alexandra Ordolis), after hearing more of her "healing miracles" that come with a price. Francis's marriage plan for his and Lola's son with a Habsburg princess falters when Lola meets them while high on Marie's opiates. Greer teaches Sharlene and her other new prostitute friends to act like ladies and sends them to a party at French court while waving Leith's advice and help 'out of her new station'.
