2. Jasper Confronts Samantha:
Jasper demands to see Samantha/Mandy after he sees her in the palace. She meets him in the tunnels and confronts her about being there.

When Liam spots her he walks up to her and asks, "So are you here for the dessert or the booze?"
She reveals, "Both. My family's trust funds Oscar's charity. When he sought political asylum here my grandfather sponsored him for citizenship. He's incredibly inspiring isn't he?"
The two spend the day walking around the palace grounds with her. Is this a possible love interest for Liam? We'll have to keep watching to find out!

When James, the head of security, takes Lucius away, Lucius is devastated.
Lucius loved Queen Helena and now he says he has "nothing more to live for."
Just when it looks like he's going to take his own life, James steps in.
"If you truly loved her, there is another way," James says. He then explains that Lucius can take the blame for King Simon's death and give everyone closure. Lucius agrees and confesses to the crime.
"I stabbed him," Lucius says to the police. "Once in the stomach and once in the chest. I killed the King of England."
8. Samantha Tells Jasper Princess Eleanor Isn't in Love With Him Anymore:
Samantha and Jasper meet in the tunnels again and Jasper goes off on her. Jasper tells her how much he's been covering for her and asks her why she's still here.
"You're just worried that the Princess is going to find out the real reason why you came to the palace," Samantha says. "I saw the way you looked at her at the knighting ceremony."
"Whatever I had with her it was all part of the con," Jasper says.
"Bulls--t," Samantha says. "And you know how I know? Because you had her in your pocket and you didn't follow through. But don't worry she's not in love with you anymore."
Samantha then says that they're "moving up the con" and wants to steal a very valuable diamond at the Prince and Princess' birthday! But is Jasper really still in on the con? We'll have to keep watching to find out!
