In this episode of Mary & George, we are thrown into the political games and personal dramas of the court. Sir Walter Raleigh’s return from Guyana causes a problem with Spain, and Mary (Julianne Moore) sets her sights on getting her family married to people who will be good for them.
MARY AND GEORGE EPISODE 5 RECAP
At the beginning of the episode, Raleigh (Joseph Mawle ) and another man are talking about a fight with the Spanish in a confusing scene that ends with Raleigh stabbing his friend. We learn that Raleigh, who is now 66 years old, has come back from Guyana looking for El Dorado. However, the Spanish ambassador, Count Gondomar, is angry about Raleigh’s actions and wants him sent away or killed for breaking a peace pact.
At the same time, James gives Mary a house in London and makes her Countess of Buckingham, which increases her power at court. Mary wants to set up a wedding between George (Nicholas Galitzine) and Katherine Manners (Mirren Mack ), who is the daughter of the Earl of Rutland and very rich. But George’s father and Katherine’s father are both against the match.
Mary also has problems trying to get John and Frances to get married. Frances’s cheating and John’s rough behavior make the marriage unstable. Mary gets into a fight with Sandie, who is Mary’s counselor, because she wants Frances to be freed.
Mary encourages George to stand up for himself publicly, but he fails when he mishandles a council meeting about Raleigh’s actions, which brings England closer to war with Spain. James doesn’t like what George did, which makes things difficult between them.
