    Edit: if you heard the old busted ass version of this episode, no you didn't This week, the Girls manage to stay mostly on topic as Henry VIII locks up one wife and lockets up another. The body count is high in this episode: eulogies include Mark Smeaton, the worst assassin ever, and - surprisingly - Catherine Parr. Also while Producer Matty was uploading this episode, Ellen sent a text that said "i just found out mark smeaton was a real person on the weekend nearly lost it" like if The Tudors was making up a historical guy they would name him Mark??? Crazy behaviour. Follow us on Twitter: @2boleyngirls

Gráinne can't stop fidgeting and Ellen's microphone decides to spend the last half of the episode doing an impression of Charlie Brown's teacher.
