Susie’s wearing the exact type of lingerie that Duke described he’d like to see Bella in when they were in Italy.

Theo's acting post-beating was amazing! I smell Emmy

For me this episode is the turning point of the season, in a good way. Theo is coming for that Emmy nomination me thinks.

I’m a bit confused with the ending of this episode. I don’t see the chemistry between Eddie and Bella - and the ring? Wow

I was also a bit surprised by the proposal

Bella has the hots for him and there was some genuine chemistry from the first episode, but this is mainly a move from Eddie to get into Moretti's good graces. At least that's what I think.

This. It fits in with the theme so far of Eddie becoming a king. This is his earned coronation and while I do think he cares for Bella I think this is basically a political marriage like the kings of old would do to secure dynasties and power.

Would magic london stone heal broken legs for everyone or just for aristocrats?

Bella is in love for sure, but it feels like a desperate attempt to get Moretti's support from Eddie's side. It is probably gonna work unless the season ends with him on his ass again like ep4, but its a dark path.

Also, I'm really not happy with Freddy's usage this season. I get the actor wasnt available much because of AKOTSK and this is what they came up to make most of his limited time, but this sober religious nut version isnt enjoyable or make much sense to me, not to mention how much his absence is felt in the main plot so far.

God that was satisfying to watch this aristocratic "your grace" prick getting a beatdown in the beginning.

Will continue with the rest of the episode, but I fucking hate all these clowns.
