'Reign' Episode 9 Spoilers 'For King and Country': Mary Kiss Bash; Francis Confronts Mary [VIDEO]
In the mid-season finale of "Reign" Season 1 Episode 8, "Fated," Mary galloped away with Bash, leaving Francis on his knees, heartbroken. It was to save Francis from the forecasted, fatal fate that Mary decided to leave France and not marry Francis.
Nostradamus had predicted the death of Francis if he married Mary. The death of Aylee forced Mary to believe that Nostradamus' prophecy has a ring of truth in it. As a result, Mary decided to be as far away as possible from Francis.
The episode 9 of "Reign" is called "For King and Country." The promo of the episode suggests that Francis is heart-broken but his love for Mary continues to be felt. He can be seen telling his mother, "I love her despite everything that she has done." As for Mary, she regards her move as a way to avoid Francis' death. In the promo video, one can hear her saying, "I must tell Francis about the prophecy."
