Catherine and Orlo and Marial are in the utopian coup version of that club.
In other words, you are ruining our buzz, Marial.
(JK, I love her and all that she does.)
Thats the brass ring to reach for in 18th-century Russia.
The main points this episode are: Peter wants to measure up to his father.
Another claimant to the throne exists, and he is a possibly psychopathic 9-year-old child.
Peter gives Catherine an official lover and his name is Leo and he is YA novellevel charming.
Peter is exceptionally bad at war-planning.
Hes also trying to figure out what kind of the he should be.
He tries Peter the Fun, the Masterful, the Terrible, and the Me.
Hes having a hard time.
He has to give a speech in front of the bear statue about how great his father was.
Later that night, he falls asleep in the statues lap.
Ivan the 9-year-old psychopath isbased in reality.
Elizabeth knows hes a danger, but he is sort of family and we are sentimental.
Ivan being around means someone could use him to stage a coup.
A DIFFERENT coup than the one being planned by Catherines Coup Club.

(Peter would 100 percent affirm that description.)
Oh, what about The Ladies?
This will come to no good.
Catherine, who originally planned to reject Leo, realizes he is someone she very much wants to bang.
Catherine keeps making decisions that seem destined to bite her on the ass later.
