Did elementary school not scar us all enough in this department?
Marial says this should cheer her up because this is the kind of boring shit that Catherine loves.
One of those ideas is the stapler!
As my notes recount:Catherine is not impressed by the stapler even though its SO COOL.
They will fall off.
All hail the stapler.
Peter has been on a journey this season.
He does, however, choose to help Catherine with the science competition, saying he will invent something.
I am burying the lede because GILLIAN ANDERSON IS HERE.
LETS ALL GET HYPED.
She plays Catherines mother, Joanna, and she is perfect.
In terms of historical veracity, lets just chuck all that out the window immediately.
This is completely made-up.
As represented here, nothing is true about Joanna Elisabeth of Holstein-Gottorp but her name.
Her wig is magnificent, her skirts enormous.
Joanna is here to remind Catherine of her former life and how Russia has changed her.
Shes also here to be a stunning and awe-inspiring goddess, but I digress.
She finds out that everyone else survived the coup as well.
I mean, when you lay it all out like that, sure!
It doesnt sound great!

Damnit, I love this show.
Thats not great and can lead to nothing good.
Barring the last episode where he slept with two women while he was mad at Catherine.
Speaking of sex Grigor and Marial have now had it.
Theyre the best friends of the love interests who fall in love with each other!
It is such a good B plot!
I continue to love them.
We end with a roller coaster built in a day, because why not.
Maybe everyone should do this.
The roller coaster is an adaptation of the Exaltation, with the death part removed.
And it was thought of by a serf!

Would you be able to kill Peter?
Would any of us?
