Ominous visions and an impromptu wedding made for an especially dramatic episode of "Reign."

In the latest episode, "The Consummation," Catherine (Megan Follows) is speeding up the planning of her execution.

Meanwhile, Lola (Anna Popplewell) and Francis (Tony Regbo) are on their way back from the Burgundy House, with Francis thinking he'll be sending Catherine and his baby brothers somewhere safe before he goes to Morocco.

At the castle, Nostradamus (Rossif Sutherland) slips a noose around his neck so he can have a near-death experience, which he thinks will result in a vision. He has an sinister vision, and he believes the queen will kill him when she finds out what he saw.

Mary's (Adelaide Kane) mother Marie de Guise (Amy Brenneman) then arrives at the castle for the wedding. She questions Mary about why she's not marrying the future king of France, and is instead throwing away her work on a bastard. Mary tells her that she began to fall in love with Bash (Torrance Coombs). Then Marie tells her that Scotland is close to falling to Protestantism, so she needs to marry a Catholic to quell the Protestant uprising. 

Mary sees her disdain for Bash, so she suggests to Bash that they elope.

Francis and Lola return to the castle, and Francis tells Mary that he is only there to get his mother's fate settled, then he's going to leave and never return.

Nostradamus tells Catherine that Clarissa's death took away the violent images he had about Francis' death, seeing as Clarissa was her first born. He says Francis and Mary can now be happy together, so Catherine decides to convince Francis to wed Mary.

Catherine reunites with her son and tells him the prophecy, then begs him to wed Mary.

Francis goes to the church where Bash is and tells him of the prophecy, and that he will wed Mary. Bash says that neither he nor Mary trust Catherine, and Francis accuses him of playing on Mary's fears. The two begin physically fighting, and Marry arrives and breaks them up.

Mary goes to Catherine, saying she doesn't believe a word she says. Catherine proves her veracity by cutting her wrists, and tells her to go to Nostradamus to learn about the prophecy.

Yet, she doesn't get any time to see him because a letter arrives that the English queen is dead, meaning Mary must claim the throne immediately by wedding the King of France that night.

Mary then has to decide: Francis or Bash?

She tells Bash that she loves him, but loves Francis more, and will therefore marry Francis. Mary tells Francis to protect Bash, but Francis convinces his brother to leave the castle for good.

On the day of the wedding, Nostradamus discovers that Clarissa is still alive, with a trail of bloody footprints marking the place where she's supposed to be buried.

The wedding between Francis and Mary goes well, until Mary finds out that the message about the English queen's death was a lie. Marie bribed the messenger to get her daughter to marry Francis. A furious Mary kicks her mother out of the castle.

Nostradamus then has another vision that Francis and Mary will be married a year, and Francis will die from an illness that causes him to bleed from the ears. 

Mary and Francis then partake in the consummation of their marriage, with court figures--Bash included--watching as they have sex.

When he is allowed to leave, Bash stops in the woods with his two guards, who try to kill him under the orders of someone in Bash's family. He evades their swords and rides away.

On the next episode, "Dirty Laundry," "Mary Stuart is now a married woman and life is only getting harder. When she and her new husband comes back from their honeymoon she is suspicious of Lola's odd behaviour, and leads to hurt feelings all around. Sebastian comes across the missing Olivia D'Amencourt in the dark forest, and gets help from Nostradamus. Meanwhile King Henry help finds himself in a predicament that only his wife Catherine can get him out of."
