Maggie says goodbye to her young son and Lizzie promises she’ll look after him while his parents are in Burgundy. Lizzie adds that Henry must never be told Richard escaped and reveals she is certain the Duchess of Burgundy’s “Richard” is not her brother. “This is just another urchin our aunt has plucked from the streets and dressed up as a prince,” says Lizzie, trying to put Maggie at ease. Maggie asks if it’s possible it’s actually Richard, and Lizzie confides that this whole masquerade was instigated by her mother.
Maggie is obviously nervous about her Burgundy trip, but Lizzie tells her not to be. Lizzie reveals Henry always leaves a red rose and a white rose in her room every day and says it’s a happy union. Lizzie and Maggie take a walk, and Maggie confesses the only thing keeping her from pure happiness is the absence of her brother. He believes she will be able to recognize Richard, if he’s truly her kin. It’s revealed the reason Richard and Maggie have been asked to Westminster Palace is because King Henry is sending Maggie to Burgundy in his place. However, a smile emerges when he hugs his young nephew, Henry. Next, we catch up with Teddy who’s not in the best mental state after being locked up for all these years. She doesn’t want to return to Court when King Henry summons them, but will go because she can visit her brother, Teddy. Maggie (Rebecca Benson) plays with her young son and seems happy in her marriage to Sir Richard Pole (Andrew Whipp). There are rumors of nobles fleeing to Burgundy and Henry has a plan to respond. Henry knows Richard is an imposter, and Lizzie assures him he has the support of England. Back to official business, Henry and Lizzie inform their advisors of a letter from the Duchess on behalf of Richard inviting them to be her guests at court. King Henry ( Jacob Collins-Levy) and Queen Elizabeth ( Jodie Comer) watch as their three young children play while Lady Margaret ( Michelle Fairley) looks on stone-faced. She claims the news of Richard’s return has been embraced by their supporters and songs are sung about the “handsome York Prince with golden hair.” She reports those who support Richard have waited seven years for him to be ready to take his place as the true King of England. The episode begins with the Duchess of Burgundy (Joanne Whalley) watching as Prince Richard (Patrick Gibson) is measured for clothing, with a voice-over revealing the contents of a recent letter to Dowager Queen Elizabeth (Essie Davis).
