And, with Mary’s situation growing increasingly precarious, and allies few and far between, to whom would Mary turn next?

Were her hands red and dripping with the blood of her murdered husband? Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett + Aaliyah Akude Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor
