"Graphic" my ass.
Personally I thought the rapists might have had prostate cancer because that sex scene was maybe 5 seconds long. There was obviously some thing wrong with his penis. Maybe it hurt too much to continue, he was inordinately premature, or because he can't cum because of penis gout, he figured three strokes to prove that he was there, and then run before some one cuts his head off.
I'm not trying to be funny, above is exactly what I thought while watching. 5 seconds for a sex scene is ridiculous. Speaking as a normal human being being how ignores where thousands of hours of free porn is resting on the internet, everyone fastforwards through the first 30 minutes of prep in any given sex scene.
Of course now comes the question of what Mary is going to do with the baby in her belly?
It's actually a very good reason for her to leave, following the historical accuracy for how long Mary lived at court, rather than put a rapists child on the French throne, just run away.

I know the ship has sailed on my complaining about the plausibility/ historical accuracy of that rape scene. So I'll just let that one go on that front. From a storytelling POV, however- it's one of the few ways they would write her out of France.
Are they going to start setting her story in Scotland now?
And does that mean I won't get to see more Narcisse? Rats- anybody know the French equivalent of "that sucks!"?
ETA: I'm on the fence about Catherine's reaction to what happened to Mary. From a story POV, it humanized her further, and I do like the fact that she's willing to work with Mary. As a viewer and modern woman, however, I think that a character marginalizing something like that (even for legitimacy's sake), isn't a good idea for a show aimed at teenagers.

A return to Britain will mean that we get to put Elizabeth in the catbird seat of villainy.
The first thing I do want Mary to say as soon as she gets "home" is "Oh thank god, I was so tired of speaking French all the time."

Mary had problems closer to home, like John Knox and the Presbyterians. Or some of her cousins who coveted power.
I didn't realize until after "the act" that Mary had been raped in that scene. The older man asked the other Protestant guard to hold Mary down as the former choked her. It was only about 5 seconds.
I doubt she was physically damaged, but all the emotional harm is still front and centre.
After all that's happened to Mary, I can't blame her for taking matters into her own hands.
Louis Conde has stood by Mary's side and supported her in every way. Of course, he's in love with her. He's certainly more dashing and manly than Francis.
As for Lord Narcisse, he deserves to suffer for what he has done - or what he has made Francis do. He is the one man responsible for all the turmoil in France.

I like the new ruthless, badass Francis. I thought I'd have problems with that, but turns out I'm glad he finally grew a pair. The same goes for Mary. 
Can someone explain to me why Catherine is the one being haunted by the twins when Claude is the one who killed them? Why didn't they just show up when she did? I'm having trouble with that one. Of all the people who Catherine had an active hand in actually killing, the ones that haunt her are the ones she didn't kill.
Am I right in thinking she had nothing to do with Henry's death? I think I was on vacation when he was killed and didn't see those episodes. Maybe I have more catching up to do.

She tried to plan Henry's murder. Decided it was necessary, and then Francis did it by himself without telling her that he did anything.
Catherine might be insane, and this has nothing to do with Ghosts.
We still don't know why henry went insane.
If he was poisoned to act mad, then that poisoner might have moved onto Catherine.
Are we sure the nanny was really a ghost?
We're not even sure if Nostradamus had real power?

Go Mary!
Henry did and then he died. Now Catherine. 
Has a person who wasn't about to die seen ghosts? I don't think so. I could be wrong.

Henry was killed in a joust with Francis. Few people, including Lord Narcisse, knows that Francis was responsible for killing his own father.
I want that diamond button tiara Mary wore this week. I don't care if I have to become Queen of France to get it, I want that thing.
^ Long may you Reign! 
The old nanny was talking like a ghost to Francis claiming to be his father.
Well, the cat's out of the bag. Catherine told Claude what she did to her twin infant sisters when she was a little girl, but Catherine's love for Claude reigned and she decided to spare her life, and the ghosts (seemingly) went away.
They could be real.
Nostradamus had magic super powers.
Magic and ghosts are real in this universe, but so is insanity.
Of course these ghosts don't know enough facts, so they're probably the result of insanity.
Greer is now free and clear to marry Leith, but now that Leith is nobled up with lands and titles and responsibilities, is he allowed to marry Greer? Of course he could just convert everything to cash, move to Spain, and then marry Greer or even keep her as a mistress if it's still impossible for him to marry a woman that... If they resettle in a protestant country, it all should be fine?

Interesting new development. The nanny did it, sort of. Bash's investigation revealed that Henry was having an affair with the twin's nanny decades ago. As she and Henry slept, the twins were left alone in their chamber and froze to death due to the unlatched window, which Diane secretly and intentionally opened. Henry and the nanny covered up the babes' deaths, implicating Claude. Up until this time, Catherine had been led to believe Claude was responsible for her sisters' deaths, driving a lifelong wedge between mother and daughter. But alas, Catherine got her revenge when she took Diane's life tonight.
Mary found out about Greer's husband Lord Castleroy's involvement in financing Protestant radicals. Part of me felt bad for Greer because Castleroy didn't know he was aiding terrorists. On the other hand, Greer should've told Mary the truth in the first place. Though she has lost everything, at least her head is intact.
