Hoo boy, this episode is Drama.
Theres betrayal, sex, catty commentary at the dressmakers, and a MASQUE.
Since this episode is all about drama, we start in a crypt.
Get your shit together.
But she will not!
She has a masque to attend!
Camille goes to Madame Berthes, and I feel like Ive been sleeping on Madame Berthe.
Shes funny, shes nice, and she protects Camille when the gossipy ladies are being nasty towards her.
Ten out of ten, Madame Berthe.
Five stars for your fictional shop.
Camille is there to get her masque apparel, and we learn that this masque is a whole Thing.
I would be so upset).
Camilles mask is a fox (checks out).
Good one, Berthe.
Despite the events of last week, Camille and the marquis are not engaged yet.
I really thought she had it in the bag, but nope.
Meanwhile, Camille is already best friends with Victoire, and she is ruining it.
Oh, right, but the engagement.
Camille tries to seduce the marquis, Jean, I think?
Its unclear what shes doing.
And by bringing people down, I mean destroying them and the people near them.
Its not a great plan in humanitarian terms.
As for Jacqueline de Montrachet, Valmont is obsessed with her Goodness, which is gross.
The issue is that Valmonts reason is bad, and Jacqueline is secretly terrible.
They have this whole breathy exchange that high school me would have been all over.
Behind me, before me, I will always turn to face you.
That would have been my SHIT.
But again, bad motives, terrible person, etc etc.
Stop being driven by your boner for virtue!
Valmont is presently unable to see Jacqueline de Montrachets lust for what it is.
Thats right, theres an orgy room, and its hilarious.
Jacqueline does not care.
There are so many people having seximmediatelyaround them.
No one pays them any attention, though, and good for those people.
I hope theyre having a nice time.
But then Valmont shoves Jacqueline away, saying, thou shalt not commit adultery.
She just wants to bang you in the orgy room, Valmont!
She wore her red dress and everything!
She is now desperate, and she grabs some scissors and goes in search of him.
Im not nothing now.
If you somehow havent watched the episode yet, be aware that this scene has some rape imagery.
Camille tells Valmont the whole story.
She was brought in as an innocent and raped by Montrachet.
When she found herself pregnant and told Jacqueline what her husband did, Jacqueline refused to believe her.
Camille had the baby and immediately loved it, but while she slept, they took it.
But its the late eighteenth century, so maybe it did die.
They threw her out and did not acknowledge her when she was dying in front of their house.
That is why Camille hates the Montrachets, and you know what?
I now condone the pigs blood throwing.
Valmont says he will cut Montrachets throat, which, again, continues with the toxic masculinity, Valmont.
But what Camille actually wants is to destroy them.
Valmont says he will do it.
Are we at the setup for OGDangerous Liaisons?
Or near to it?
Does it start after the destruction of the Montrachets?
The queen basically says shes heartbroken over losing a friend and ugh, Marie/Sevigny 4evs.
Camille tells the queen she will love and be loved again, and Marie hugs her.
To say you got hugged by Marie Antoinette.
Gosh, can you imagine?
I wonder if shed smell nice.
