Coming on the heels of two creatively strong episodes, notable ratings stability and a full season pickup, The CW’s “Reign” airs Thursday’s episode, its fifth, with ample momentum.
As the series works to maintain that heat and continue building its empire of loyal fans, it better hope Thursday’s “A Chill in the Air” does not come with a literal cooling effect.
Tomas might be out of the picture, but the forecast for the Mary-Francis relationship is not one of clear skies and sunshine. The return of Francis’ ex-lover Olivia (Yael Grobglas) promises to throw another wrench into their royal engagement, the results of which could include Mary finding comfort in her fiancee’s half-brother Bash.
The official description, teaser video and images for “A Chill in the Air,” which broadcasts at 9PM on Thursday, follow:
FRANCIS REUNITES WITH AN EX, CAUSING MARY TO TURN TO BASH — When Olivia (guest star Yael Grobglas), who is an ex-lover of Francis’ (Toby Regbo), arrives at the castle, she brings the dangers of the woods with her. Mary (Adelaide Kane) seeks comfort in Bash (Torrance Coombs). Meanwhile, Bash is threatened by heretics for interfering with a sacred blood rite.
