Well folks I didn’t want it to be true, but it is. Ted killed Simon! While I let that sink in, let’s recap the events that took place up until the big reveal.
Ted begins the episode watching footage of the Duchess admitting that she killed Dominique. He contemplates on if he should tell the leader of the Domino group or not. His dead wife encourages him not to. He then goes onto stalking Jasper’s search history. He sees that Jasper has been investigating the death of Simon and knows that Jasper found proof that Luscious didn’t commit the crime. He calls Jasper up to his office and takes away his weapons. Very angrily he shouts at Jasper to stop searching for the real murderer. He also tells him, “To stop with the fake British accent.” Well Ted you and me are in agreement on this one. However being in cahoots with the Domino group, even after the Dominique’s niece told you stop does not mean I’m rooting for you. Yes Ted you’ve become even crazier and more annoying than Luscious was last season. Congrats on being annoying, I guess now we know who your daughter gets it from.
Ted doesn’t scare Jasper. It encourages him to search for the murder even more. Instead of giving up Jasper goes into Liam’s room and gets his hidden stash of guns out from under his bed. Remember when he had a hidden stash in Len’s room? Good times, miss those two going all Bond together. We then see him out of the palace and behind some alleyway. All of a sudden out pops Robert’s murder from last season. Jasper pulls a gun on him and he pulls a gun on Jasper. Before these two men have a shoot off in broad daylight in walks James who pulls a gun on Robert’s murderer. Very confusing right? Well it is about to get even more confusing. Robert’s murder was following Jasper because he thought Jasper was the one who killed King Simon and ordered him to kill Robert. Jasper denies this and James backs him up because he knows Jasper would not kill the Simon, since he loves Len. Before the two bodyguards can get more information Len calls them into duty.
It seems that Len has finally made a friend! Yay! Unfortunately this friend comes with a lot of baggage. Imogen who we met last season and were reintroduced to at the twin’s birthday party, called Len to come meet her. Len who is now sober meets her in some swanky hotel lobby. From the get-go it is obvious that Imogen is shaken up. She even asks Len for some drugs. Len doesn’t have any and if she did she wouldn’t give them to her. Len wants to know why Imogen is acting like this. Before Imogen can give her an answer she goes upstairs with a scary man, who is not Victor. A few hours later Imogen calls Len hysterical. The viewers can see that this man has beaten her up. Len rushes back to the hotel and Imogen explains that her boyfriend Victor set all of this up. Len convinces Imogen to leave Victor, but before they can escape Victor barges into the hotel room and the girls hide in the bathroom. Len being the savvy princess she is gets in touch with James. He and Jasper come in and get the girls away from Victor. Len brings Imogen back to the palace and gives her advice on how she can make it out in the world on her own.
There was also another appearance by the hideous earrings (I don’t care how much their worth, they are ugly). Jasper was encouraged by James to give them back to Len. The two were reunited on the balcony and I thought this was the moment that Jasper would finally admit his feelings, but unfortunately all he could muster up is, “I wanted to see you.” If he wants to win Len back he’s going to have to try a lot harder. Especially cause she kept on implying that she is finally free from him and basically shut down any pathetic attempt he was trying to make. She also found the courage to finally tell Liam the real reason why Jasper came to the palace. Honestly it seems that Jasper is the only one who is actually working in the whole freaking palace. He approaches two skater kids who had a camera on them the night that King Simon was murdered. He gets the footage they shot and sees that Ted was the one who stabbed Simon. Just as he’s about to tell Liam the news, Liam storms down the palace halls shoving Jasper to the ground. The episode ends in a cliffhanger as Jasper yells, “I know who killed your father”.
Side Notes:
-The Deputy Prime Minister offered Liam a job in New York.
-He rejected it. Yes that means no Ophelia!
-Cyrus sure does like his maids and ugh gross they like him.
-The maids are probably hoping to be the next Violet or Prudence, but it seems Cyrus isn’t playing that game anymore.
-He still used the maids though. He had them build a crib for his unborn son.
-Helena tried to convince Prudence not to marry Cyrus, but she failed.
-Crazy Luscious made a return and decided that in order to protect the monarchy, he would stick by the story that he was the one who killed Simon.
-Another amazing performance by Alexandra Park, she really carries the show. Girl needs an award or some sort of recognition for her amazing portrayal of Eleanor.
Reactions to the reveal of Ted being the murder? Do you think he also ordered the hit on Robert? Are you glad Liam didn't take the job in New York? Is there any hope for Jasper and Len? Overall thoughts on the episode? Comment below!
