Jane Seymour enters Anne's service under the watchful eye of a household that understands Henry's interest in her. Anne's attendants make the new arrival feel unwelcome, while Jane's brother leaves her with the knowledge that she must manage the danger. Henry's attention makes the Seymours increasingly useful to Brandon, and Thomas Boleyn sees how their access could threaten his daughter's place. Anne is pregnant, but that protection is no longer enough to make her family comfortable. At the tournament, Henry takes Jane's favour before riding against Norris, and Boleyn watches the relationships around the king as closely as the contest itself.
Henry falls during the joust and lies unconscious, bringing the possibility of his death suddenly into every calculation at court. Brandon has him carried in for treatment while others wait for news. The king recovers, but the relief does not repair his marriage. Anne subsequently finds him with Jane and confronts him about the relationship. She then miscarries, losing the son on whom so many of her hopes depended. Henry visits her room and hears her distress, but leaves carrying anger that he soon turns against her. His remarks to Cromwell suggest witchcraft as an explanation for the marriage. The episode ends with Anne grieving while the king gives her enemies reason to believe his protection is disappearing.
