Queen Mary hires John ( Tahmoh Penikett ), a mercenary, to steal Queen Catherine's money to help Queen Marie de Guise. John abducts Queen Catherine, tricking her into paying him twice his fee to betray the person who hired him. John asks Queen Mary to pick a scapegoat for the kidnapping, and Queen Mary chooses Queen Catherine's unscrupulous cousin, Hortensia ( Shauna MacDonald ), whose head is given to Queen Catherine. Queen Mary then takes control of Hortensia's guards and pays John to lead them to rescue Marie de Guise in Scotland. Prince Francis leads a company of twelve men, including Leith, towards Calais.

While injured, Leith confesses his love for a woman above his station, and Prince Francis promises to award him lands and title to pursue that love. Lady Lola learns that Julien has secretly received her dowry and is about to abandon her. Julien changes his mind and confesses that he is almost penniless, but that he has truly fallen in love with her. The pair agree to work it out.
