The upcoming episode of The CW's instant hit series is just a couple of hours away, and we are very pleased that Queen Mary is now more than ready to use her power as the Queen of Scots. And she is starting with carrying out a plan that will destroy her own mother's reputation in all of Scotland. This, of course, takes place after she finds out that Marie de guise and Queen Catherine actually orchestrated a secret clause in her marriage contract with Francis. Francis is even more than willing to help out in realizing this cunning and somehow devious plan. The question now is whether they can pull this off successfully. Find out by tuning in on The CW tonight at 9/8c. You may also simply watch Reign season 1 episode 17 stream using the free online stream link at the bottom.

In an interview with TVLine, actress Adelaide Kane dished a thing or two on what's to come for her character and the things that are about to take place in the kingdom. "There's a lot going on. Mary discovers a secret clause in her marriage contract that her mother conspired to create with Catherine, sort of for personal gain," Kane said. "Basically, the freedom of Scotland hinges on Mary producing an heir, which was a pretty big deal in those days. If you couldn't produce an heir, you were essentially useless. So there's continuing tension between Mary and her mother, even from a distance." Watch Reign season 1 episode 17 stream using the free online stream link at the end of this post.

Interestingly, Kane also teased that something is going on in between Mary and Francis' marriage. "The interaction between Bash and Mary does cause some marital tension for Francis and Mary, as well as for Kenna and Bash," she said. "Over the next couple of episodes, Kenna and Bash start to come to grips with the fact that they're married, and perhaps they start to see each other in a new light. I think they do try to make it work. Mary and Francis' focus, meanwhile, is on having a child and governing. And Bash isn't the only bone of contention between them. Mary's half-brother James arrives from Scotland, and he tries to convince Mary to return. Naturally, Francis is suspicious of James and wonders if he has ulterior motives in removing Mary from French Court. That causes even more tension between Mary and Francis."
