‘Reign’ season 2, episode 17 preview: Mary, Catherine, and the Conde shocker aftermath

Reign -Should Mary on “Reign” really be that shocked at Conde’s deception? Hardly. This is a man who entered her world under a very interesting pretense, and to us, this was almost more of a wait-and-see approach for when things would start to crumble a little bit.

Ultimately, next week’s new episode “Tempting Fate” is going to be about ramifications for both of them, but then also about Catherine finding a way to get involved in the situation. Also, another illness strikes, and based on the promo below, there are going to be a few complications that getin the way of one character’s path to the throne. For more, just be sure to check out the full synopsis below:

“When Catherine (Megan Follows) becomes suspicious that Mary (Adelaide Kane) and Condé (Sean Teale) are having an affair, Mary risks Catherine discovering just how deep her betrayal goes. Francis (Toby Regbo) becomes gravely ill after he collapses and Bash’s (Torrance Coombs) life is in jeopardy when he leaves to work as the King’s Deputy. Meanwhile, things become complicated for Leith (Jonathan Keltz) when he is forced to be Claude’s (Rose Williams) personal guard after professing his love for Greer (Celina Sinden).”

There is something very interesting that now comes out of previewing this show, especially when we are going into it with the context that Queen Elizabeth is going to be coming aboard at the very end of the season. Knowing this gives you an added sense of stakes, and it may also force the other characters to step up their game.
