Duke D’Orleans again takes the opportunity to try and assassinate the married couple using the aid of its subordinate Duke de Guemenee and a previous Royal commander by using firecrackers to frighten the horses.

| I have to say I'm enjoying every dramatic moment of this series. The villainy is just classic! People literally getting stabbed in the back, people being poisoned & framed and even a dude taking poison to keep his secrets. Classic! |

Well that is the essence of everyday political life consisting of pure Machiavellism and the discard of the people and their needs |

| I just missed 3 years, I guess nothing but that little "fight" happened. And what is all this of Fersen being destined, are we just forgetting André |

| Wow, already a timeskip of 3 years. Seem this series will cover a long period of time. I like it. Then this episode brings us another failed attempt of Orleans trying to kill Marie Antoinette while discrediting Oscar, a good idea in theory, but Andre saved the day. With Jeanne another interesting actor has appeared on the stage, I wonder what will happen to her. My guess is she's gonna end up on Orleans side somehow. Also they should stop making a fuss about Fersen before actually introducing him. It's somehow annoying. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| That Jeanne person is very interesting so far. I hope she won't turn into another du Barry. |

| "Mean Jeanne", gotta love that nickname. Her sister is quite the opposite. I too am very interested to see where this is going. |

Except for Oscar every new character just comes across as selfish, petty and shallow. Almost evil by their narrow-mindedness. I can't wait for this "destined" encounter so things really going....wherever this is supposed to go. |

Glad I'm not the only one who thought of that haha. Here comes Axel von Fersen! I could already sense the already over the top drama to get amplified tenfold. |

| I'm really excited right now! At first I thought this Jeanne was just some random character to voice the misery of the people. Actually, I would've been glad because she's quite annoying and arrogant. But then they said so many new names and I looked some things up in Wikipedia. Turns out she was an actual person, too! It's so interesting to learn more about these little things that really happened befor the French Revolution. This Jeanne de Saint-Rémy is quite interesting and I hope to see more of her actions now. |
| Jeanne is pretty selfish. Didn't even have second thoughts about leaving her sister and sick mother behind..... |
 |
| I didn't see that bitch-slap coming. Way to go mother.. |
| Random timeskip outta nowhere. |
| Did she just believe in Jeanne's words like....that? I mean, surely you would try to get some info and not believe blatantly in a random girl's words. The foreshadowing by the narrator is getting a bit jittery. Fersen seems like an interesting fellow and he better be, since as of now, the Oscar-Andre-Antonette trio is the only thing of interest to me |

| Jeanne and DuBarry seem quite similar... NOT a good sign. |
 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |
| Jeanne abandoned her family to live a life in luxury,if that doesn't backfire on her one day. |

| France is in quite the terrible state even though the nobles probably will only see the splendour of the celebrations and stuff. Some new characters we got here, selfish Jeanne seems really similiar to du Barry in my opinion with on the other hand the selfless Rosalie being a nice girl whom I think is an actual decendant of the Valois bloodline judging by the mothers reaction. |
 |
| I respect Jeanne's ambition, but if she makes it, I really hope that she remembers her family and where she came from. The Dauphin cannot compare to a sexy swedish nobleman on the looks front so I sense trouble in the air. |

| 3 years went by already? ok I feel really bad for those poor people. I'm really seeing why the French revolution happened... |
 |
| Jeanne Is so selfish. She left her OWN family to leave in luxury. I just know it will probably backfire on her one day. |
| wonder what the narrator was alluding to at the end of the episode .. "If only the princess remembered all this love and praise , maybe she wouldn't have become to wicked .." for ominous foreshadowing .. & F Jeannie .. hopefully she dont get in the princess way .. Once again Oscar needs to start bodying these side characters |
 |
| This felt just like a set up to what is coming with these characters, I did enjoyed the narrator comments about Marie at the end lol. Jeanne finally had someone fall for her plan which I assume she tried many times before if the first attempt showed this episode is to go by. |
| I wanted to finally get around to watching "Rose of Versailles" given how much of a classic it is, but wow does this series have a very rough start. I'm very glad the Du Barry and Antoinette drama is over and hope things get more palatable from here, because that didn't make the best first impression... On one hand, it's hilarious that a grown woman is beefing it out with a 14-year-old and I can give Antoinette a bit of grace given how young she is. She's learned from her mother how to feel about certain parts of life, but on the other hand, it's still annoying and makes me wish I were watching something about the French Revolution instead. I'm not as convinced as Oscar is over Antoinette being so great, which also makes me like her character a little less, too. Oscar could certainly be doing more. At least it was entertainingly bad so I guess I understand the appeal of trash reality TV now. Not something I'd want again though. I'm relieved the focus is switching outside to more than what's going on inside of the palace. |
