Show executive producer Laurie McCarthy recently opened up to Entertainment Weekly about Francis' health. "Francis falling ill in tonight's episode, in very much the way we, and those in his life, have feared, reminds our viewers as well as our characters that young men, even young kings, do not live forever," McCarthy said. "The real Francis died young, and while we take historical liberties, we adhere to the major signposts of Mary Queen of Scots' life. Moreover, the foreshadowing of Francis's eventual but untimely death has been woven into our story from the outset."

Could this be what Nostradamus prophesied way back in season 1? Is Francis really dying because of Mary? McCarthy said, "At this point in time, this reminder of what Nostradamus prophesied, this hint of death, of things to come, lights a fire under our characters -- Mary, his painfully estranged wife, and his mother, Catherine de Medici, foremost among them. It also offers his rival, Condé, the man who is currently his wife's lover, a taste of what life could be, if only the King of France were no longer in the picture."
