The recriminations and accusations start almost as soon as the rest of the Royal Family - Liam, Eleanor, the Queen and Cyrus plus, to the Queen's distaste, Ophelia - are in a safe room and told the news that King Simon was attacked, stabbed twice: chest and abdomen.
It's hard to mount a case for either Cyrus or the Queen not murdering the King, given the referendum and all they have to lose if the monarchy is disbanded,
As King Simon fights for his life in a London hospital, events at the palace gain momentum. Liam, realising the position he now finds himself in ("he belongs to England now, the Queen tells Ophelia) as Prince Regent, for even if the King survives, the recovery will surely be a long one.
The episode ends with Liam about to be crowned King, but Cyrus interrupts to drop a bombshell that, as it turns out, isn't quite all that it seems, whilst Ted and Marcus, after the king's attacker, identify a suspicious man on palace CCTV.
