We begin the episode with Catherine trying to hump a chair.
Shes all revved up on pregnancy hormones and hasnt slept with anyone since Leo died.
In the meantime, he shows her an apricot, and shes so turned on that she leaves.
The many-months-pregnant body wants what it wants.
And Catherines wants to eat dirt and have sex.
Catherine assigns everyone in court a pamphlet by the French philosopher Diderot.
As was the case back then, no one reads Catherines pamphlet.
Well, except for Father Basil (Archbishop Basil now?).
So now Catherine has to deal with that.
But there are also theOttomans.
But for now, we have to talk about Ambassador Sunduk and his impressive mustache!
Truth be told, I do not like Sunduk.
You know that friend who will punch someone in the face for you?
Marial is that friend.
Let us all have a Marial in our lives.
Who saw this coming!!
Particularly in the former case because Katya isvery newthis season!!
Orlo and Katya the schoolteacher flirt via Kant-centered wordplay.
Theyre a pair of nerds, and its great.
Meanwhile, how could anyone suspect the simmering cauldron of sexual tension that would exist between Marial and Grigor?
I am still shocked.
Velementov is sleeping with Svenska?
Svenska finds out about the potential Ottoman threat.
I know Ive barely talked about Archie, which is unfair because he cut his finger off.
But hes currently trying to unseat Basil, and I just cannot get behind that.
(We all know what she does with it.)
Catherine is still trying to find someone to bang.
She almost has sex with a bearded guard, but he hasbeard lice,no!
Catherine goes to see Peter and tells him to do the thing with the tongue.
I cant wait for these two crazy kids to find their way back to each other.
Or to each other for the first time, since their beginning was a little rough.
Lingering Questions
Is throwing turnips somehow way more fun than it sounds?
What pamphlet will Catherine assign next?
Will anyone be writing Marial-Grigor fanfic, and can they post it ASAP, just?
