Brothers will battle. Shippers will cry. The Internet will explode.

Dramatic? Sure. Accurate? Yep!

We're not joking when we tell you Reign's March 6 episode will change the CW hit series forever, leaving fans wondering how things will ever be the same at French court. Why? It's time for a royal wedding as King Henry reveals that England is now Mary's (Adelaide Kane) and tells her, "You will wed one of my sons tonight." So who will it be: Francis (Toby Regbo) or Bash (Torrance Coombs)?!

We've got the ridiculously epic exclusive promo for "Consummation," which gives you your first look at Mary's gorgeous wedding dress, Amy Brenneman's debut as Mary's mother, Marie de Guise, and finds Queen Catherine's (Megan Follows) head on the chopping block. Literally.

In the exclusive promo, we learn Mary and Bash are planning to elope, but Francis gets to Bash first, leading to an all-out brawl between the brooding brothers. However, it looks like Mary will eventually make her way down the aisle, donning a showstopping (and maybe ceremony-stopping?!) white lace gown.

Of course, the wedding episode also serves as viewers' introduction to Marie de Guise, whose arrival at court will have a major impact on her conflicted daughter.

"I  think her mother's introduction puts a very personal face on the troubles of Scotland and Mary's history. It sets the stage for the fact that there's a country that has been waiting for her to reach adulthood, they've been waiting for her to rise and that they need her now very much," showrunner Laurie McCarthy previews. "She'll become incredibly torn between her responsibilities at French court, her love for Francis and a position that's begging her to return; that's going to create a lot of conflict."

Reign airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. on the CW.
