That was a close call for Francis, but has his fate really been overturned on Reign?

Chatter On The 'Amazing' Episodes Of 'Reign' This Season

On Friday, a promo for next week's episode was released that shows the aftermath of Francis' life being saved when he was about to die. Mary tells him that they've been given a second chance and she'll refuse to waste that.

So while it seems like the two will get a fresh start together, it's possible that death cannot be stopped after all. Nostradamus comes to see Catherine and tells her that he saw other images regarding the fate of Francis. This includes a flowering tree surrounded by petals. He also noticed blood.

As he describes this, Mary is seen throwing a fit inside and outside as the last image has a feel-good vibe. This seemingly implies that while everything is starting off smoothly, it can only be that way for so long before chaos returns.

Meanwhile, showrunner Laurie McCarthy previously told Entertainment Weekly what would happen in Catherine's relationship with Narcisse if Francis did end up dead. It turns out that these two wpuld have a reason to come together.

"[Francis' death] shifts the power dynamic at court between Narcisse and Catherine," McCarthy said. "There's going to be a huge battle for the regency coming up and a blossoming relationship between Catherine and Narcisse because his ambition is going to be awakened again."

Reign airs on Fridays at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
