How It All Goes Down
Summer 1527
- Mary is left all by herself at Hever. Old Mammary had a farm, and on this farm she had her kids, so she is feeling just ducky about all this.
- Anne soon does what she does best: ruins everything. This time, she does it by sending Mary a letter.
- In the letter, Anne announces she is to be queen of England.
- Mary gets another surprise: a visit from her husband, William.
- William has bad news: England is at war with Spain.
- And the Pope, who is still in Spain, is unlikely to issue Henry an annulment.
- Maybe Anne jumped the gun with all this queen talk.
- William believes the Boleyns are kaput with all this going on, and he wants to reclaim Mary as his wife.
- Mary writes a letter to Anne asking her to rescue her from William.
- William intercepts the letter and reads it.
- But Anne anticipated William's actions and sends Mary a letter, anyway, telling her that the king requests her and her husband's presence at court.
- Mary is saved, but William still wants to be her rightful husband. He kisses Mary, and she wonders if maybe she wouldn't mind being his wife.
