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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The official description, teaser video and images for “A Chill in the Air,” which broadcasts at 9PM on Thursday, follow:<\/p>\n
FRANCIS REUNITES WITH AN EX, CAUSING MARY TO TURN TO BASH \u2014 When Olivia (guest star Yael Grobglas), who is an ex-lover of Francis\u2019 (Toby Regbo), arrives at the castle, she brings the dangers of the woods with her.
