Ep. 24: Jeanne escapes prison with a masked man, publishes anti-Queen books, and faces arrest at Severne Monastery.

Jeanne is freed from prison by a masked man who recruits her assistance. While hiding at Severne Monastery with Nicolas, she releases a book series detailing the Queen's alleged crimes, fueling rumors of Versailles' instability. The Cabinet dispatches the Royal Guard to seize Jeanne and enforce the publication ban. Although Jeanne profits significantly, she remains confined to the monastery. Distrusting the masked man's promise of overseas passage, she becomes depressed and increases her drinking. Meanwhile, Polignac coerces Rosalie into her household by threatening to implicate Oscar in the Necklace Affair. Upon completing the series, the masked man reveals Jeanne's location to the Cabinet. Oscar's regiment arrives at Severne for her arrest. Nicolas attempts to use Oscar as a hostage, but a drunken Jeanne refuses to flee. When Nicolas tries to strangle Oscar, Jeanne stabs him and detonates the monastery, killing both. Andre senses the danger and rescues Oscar. The masked man's identity remains unknown, though Orleans is suspected.
