The Blessings of Many Heirs - Episode 13

The episode opens with Jax, the countess’s only nephew, dead on the floor. The grieving seventy-year-old countess blames those present, vows they'll 'join him in the grave,' and offers adoption and her barony to whoever kills them. A bystander retorts that Jax had tried to kill them and 'got what he deserved,' while others call the countess a monster for her hypocrisy. Someone shouts 'Stand back!' and a detection note shows Lisa's favorability rising as observers remark one man's rapid rise from Rank 2 toward Rank 3. The scene ends as someone cries, 'Gillian! You finally decided to speak up.'
