I'm really surprised Catherine got out played by Elizabeth. She really seemed surprised that Elizabeth put England's interests first. Of course she would. She's the Queen of England not France.  I really wanted to see the two of them square off. 

I really want to know what Catherine's plan for Edith is. Especially with what's coming in the next episode.

I like what Catherine said to Anjou towards the end apologizing to him. I hope it's true. I still hate him. 

Margot's really naive. She finally learns the truth about Guise but after talking with his mother goes back to wanting to be with him.

I hope Catherine isn’t thinking Margot is one of her betrayers. The girl is a useful idiot, not a schemer.

Yeah, Catherine should have realized early on that Elizabeth had no intention of marrying either brother.

I’ll miss Elizabeth. I love her wisecracks and charmingly devious remarks. Not to mention her colorful attire. Back to Catherine’s drab black (although stunning dresses).

Oh, Edith, Edith, Edith. You think you’ve won, but you don’t know our Catherine. By the way, try smiling once in a while. What a dour face on that one, she’d turn Medusa into stone. Hold on to your hat, Sourpuss, it ain’t over yet. With that quiet smirk on Catherine’s face at the end, she’s not done with you yet. No way Catherine intends to hand over the regency to the wicked witch of the east.

lol Just how obtuse is she! François tells her to get lost in no uncertain terms, she runs away in tears, one second later, she’s conspiring with potential mother-in-law. Margot needs to walk in on François having an orgy. She wouldn’t handle it as well as Queen Elizabeth did with Anjou, but at least she’d get the idea. Or maybe not, she seems hopelessly dense. But she’ll be off and wed to Henry Bourbon soon, so François will dodge a bullet there.
