Part 8/9:
In a climactic confrontation, Sarah resorts to threats, leveraging love letters written by Anne as a means of coercion. Yet, Anne’s resolve strengthens, and the queen assigns Harley as the prime minister — a move that alienates Sarah definitively. Betrayal and heartbreak abound, ultimately leading to Sarah's exile and Abigail's ascendance over the court.
With Sarah out of the picture, Abigail becomes entrenched in royal life, living a life of luxury with her spouse while Anne becomes increasingly aware of her own vulnerabilities. An unsettling scene unfolds when Anne catches a glimpse of Abigail’s darker side, leading to a violent clash that seals their fates.
