Following Simon's death, Cyrus' vulgar behavior makes him an unpopular king. Liam and Eleanor are horrified, but Eleanor strategically feigns reconciliation with Cyrus in order to solve her father's murder. She rejects Jasper's attempts to get back together with her, but Liam is pleased to have him on side, to help get Holloway to destroy Cyrus's alibi for the night of the king's death. Cyrus asks Marcus to return as security head in order to spy on his niece and nephew. Discovering the Prime Minister's weakness, Helena puts pressure on him to change the order of succession, making her the heir apparent. Helena becomes aware that she has enemies just as Cyrus faces a blackmailer.
