'Reign' recap of 'Blood in the Water'
The episode before "All it Cost Her..." was "Blood in the Water," which aired on June 9. It was directed by Charles Binamé and written by Drew Lindo and Wendy Riss Gatsiounis. It showed Mary giving birth to a son, with Greer and Bothwell by her side. Unfortunately, while she was in labour, Lady Lennox (Nola Augustson) betrayed Mary by manipulating her son Darnley to take over the Privy Council and oust her from power. However, Darnley is not fit to rule because he is suffering from syphilis, and it's affecting him mentally. He was even seeing visions of Keira.
As for Mary, she decided to write Elizabeth to ask for her son's protection, especially if something bad happens to her. She asked her cousin to accept her son as heir to a united England and Scotland.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth ordered naval commander Francis Drake (Richard Fleeshman) to steal a cargo ship heading for Austria. He was successful but was forced to engage Spanish warships in the process.
