‘Reign’ season 3, episode 5 preview: Is Francis improving, or quickly getting worse?

Reign -The story of “Reign” so far this season has certainly taken a wide array of twists and turns, but nothing is ultimately going to allow the show to escape the inevitable: The death of Francis that is coming. The only real question is when it is going to happen.

Are there problems coming in next week’s “In a Clearing”? The synopsis below does not give anything away, other than saying that you may at least briefly start to think that things are getting a little bit better for Francis before Nostradamus comes back:

“Grateful for a future with a revived Francis (Toby Regbo), Mary (Adelaide Kane) considers signing away her claim to the English throne, and staying in France forever. Catherine (Megan Follows) learns that Nostradamus (guest star Rossif Sutherland) has returned — with a new vision involving Francis’ fate.”

It is fair to say that we are very much worried for Mary, mostly in that she has to try and handle everything that is swirling around her. She has to think about her future in politics, her status as a wife, and then also what she will do in the event that he does pass. It is a lot of pressure for anyone to handle, let alone someone still very young with the fate of so many at her feet.

As soon as the promo is online, we’ll have it for you pretty soon. Update: You can see it below … and you should worry.
