There’s a lot going on here once they reach Madrid, and it pulls George right into a very uncomfortable situation. I really felt for him, but as us usual, he handles it with a quiet confidence that belies the potential danger.
The whole scene has that sense that one wrong move could ruin him, which keeps the tension high.
Cardona’s household is a mess, and the duchess is downright dangerous. Thank goodness for the duke stepping in and restoring some order.
But will she keep quiet forever? And will George face similar allegations going forward?
