Viewers were treated to new suitors, new spectres and new struggles on Reign Season 2 Episode 1, as the Plague caused some pretty big problems for Mary and company.
Such fatal diseases often have this unfortunate side effect.
The exciting premiere centered on Mary and Nostradamus tricking Catherine into believing she actually has The Black Death, as they aimed to prevent her from murdering an innocent man.
Elsewhere, Narcisse - the man who asked for the killing - ended up killing Leith's girlfriend Yvette by accident; while Francis met his distant cousin Conde and then decided to bring Lola and their son with him back to Court.
Finally, Pascal (the child Kenna and Bash had been caring for) passed away from the Plague. Tough break.
What can fans now expect going forward on Reign Season 2? Executive Producer Laurie McCarthy and star Adelaide Kane offered up a few teases in an interview with TV Line.
Oh, Baby: "As the season progresses, having the child around becomes more of an unspoken pressure for Mary as she fails to conceive," Kane previews. "It's a glaring reminder of her failing in what is essentially her only duty as a queen, which is to bear sons and continue the succession. The longer that takes, the more heavily it's going to weigh on her and become a divisive factor in her relationship with Francis. … If they ever stop sharing a bed, there's trouble on the horizon."
Bash will become the King's Deputy, but be warned: this can be a "really dangerous" position," McCarthy warns.
Ghost Hunting: Bash was the only one to see the ghost on the premiere due to his exhaustion and his paganism, but "he land is unstable, and people who have gotten away with murder might not get away with it for so long," McCarthy teases.
(Best of luck, Francis and Catherine!)
Look for Mary to start "taking on more of those manipulative Catherine-esque elements; almost without realizing it, she's becoming more and more like Catherine," Kane says, explaining how the Plague trick mentioned above will only be the beginning.
Simply put, "we will see a wedding this season," McCarthy notes.
Yvette is dead. Leith is free. So Greer will go ahead and break off her engagement to Lord Castleroy, right? Well… "The fear of being a ruined woman has ramifications," McCarthy says. "And that fear is "going to loom large for her for some time."
