We go from several tozeroorgies in this episode.Dangerous Liaisons?
More likeNot That Dangerous Chit Chats, amirite?
Lotta chatting this week.
And a make-out, but then it was interrupted for more chatting.
Come on, people, its late 18th-century France!
There are still some good mysteries happening, though.
And some new ones have appeared!
Who the fuck is the duke?
Was he mentioned before?
Did I miss this somehow?
First up, Camille.
She thinks her baby died, but we all knew that could never be the case.
Its fiction, and she didnt see it die.
They stole your baby, maam.
Ol Jacqueline Baby Snatcher de Montrachet.
But for now, Camille just thinks they ruined her life and have to pay.
Always in love with or hating each other.
And a mechanical bird!
This entire scene is hilarious, and I cant explain why.
His delivery of Youre unhappy with the bird is my favorite moment in the whole episode.
He wants to get married right away, but she tells him he needs to really think about it.
The marquis says her asking him to think about it makes him even MORE in love with her.
They didnt have social services back then.
And alms are spotty!
Her plan is to blackmail the current Vicomte de Valmont by threatening to tell everyone hes gay.
Why do you hate gay people?
She tells the Vicomte its not about his sexuality; its that hes cheating on his fiancee.
First Sevigny, and now this.
Valmont, meanwhile, immediately relaunches himself at Jacqueline.
Remember what just happened with them?
How she wanted to bang at the masked orgy, and he was like,OUT, HARLOT?
Okay, so when he shows up again, shes not super thrilled to see him.
This is the 18th-century version of pulling out a boombox and playing Savage Garden.
Jacqueline is won over by Valmonts recitation of her sad, lonely life, so she invites him over.
They make out, but she sees the pigs blood-covered dress that isdraped casually over a sofa??
Why is it still there?
The childs name is Odette.
Shes asleep in her bed.
Odette will stay asleep the entire time shes onscreen.
The first part of this plan works fine.
Odette (asleep, of course) is bundled into the carriage.
The maid says she forgot Odettes blanket, which is like,Cmon, Valmont.
So Valmont misses his meet-up with Camille, who has now been seemingly abandoned by him twice.
Thats cool for your performers.
The weird third plotline is about the Labyrinth.
Gabriel (remember Gabriel?)
has the ball of red thread that was found in two dead womens mouths.
Gabriel knows this goes back to The Labyrinth; I dont remember how.
But now the duke is going to need another outlet.
If anyone has picked up any previous reference to the duke, hey @ me.
So if I have this right, after the marquis and Camille get quick-married (which happens!
I do love the weird red-thread mystery, but I ambaffledby this last part.
I was 80 percent sure when the marquis came into the room where Victoire was waiting.
Instead he walks towards her and shes terrified.
The letters are still in play.
Whats happening with the red thread?
Who is the duke?
Will Victoire return for good since shes mentioned in the original book?
And why does Camille hate gay people?
Lets hope these are all resolved in the finale.
sings One Episode More to the tune of One Day More
