'Reign' Season 2 Episode 17 Spoilers: Mary and Condé’s Affair is in Danger of Being Exposed, Francis Becomes Ill [Watch]
In the last "Reign" episode "Tasting Revenge," Mary and Condé have a secret meeting in which she promises to take him to Scotland where they can be together at last and she can unify her kingdom.
The pair shares their first kiss and a snowball fight under the watchful gaze of a spy. Condé spots the spy, follows him and finds his brother King Antoine lying in wait. His brother gives him an ultimatum: if Condé has an affair with Mary, Antoine will out them both and send them to the chopping block. Antoine is determined to see Condé take the proposal from Queen Elizabeth so that they both can rule an enormous kingdom.
Unknown to Mary, Condé meets with Queen Elizabeth's envoy. Little does Mary know he is in marriage talks with her greatest rival.
Mary's behavior and actions regarding Condé are so frantic that she almost seems unhinged at times. The poor woman is so distracted by her infatuation with him that she cannot see he's playing both sides. It's difficult to tell if his feelings toward her are genuine. Will Mary figure it out in time, or will her already bruised heart become broken in the process?
Meanwhile, Francis is having a hard time letting go of Mary, but he listens to Lola's advice about agreeing to cover up her affair with Condé. Francis believes that if he allows Mary to get her attraction to Condé out of her system, she'll come back to him, eventually.
It would not be fair for Francis to forbid Mary's pursuit of Condé considering he has slept with Narcisse's beautiful niece. He took the bait from a man seeking to gain leverage over him. No doubt that decision will come back to haunt the boy-king in the near future.
With Pepperpot in jail for a very long time, Greer is practically a widow. By the end of "Tasting Revenge," she and Leith were in each other's arms -- much to the delight of most fans. Their unrequited romance has been simmering since Episode 2, and it will be interesting to see where these two take their forbidden passion.
In the next, highly anticipated episode "Tempting Fate," Mary is in grave danger of being exposed as Catherine becomes suspicious that she and Condé are having an affair. Francis collapses and becomes gravely ill. Bash leaves to work as the King's Deputy and finds his life in jeopardy. Leith is forced to be Claude's personal guard after professing his love for Greer, according to Broadway World.
The "Tempting Fate" episode airs on Thursday, March 19, on The CW.
