Building on her pregnancy fib from last week, Lady Love was forced to carry through the charade earlier than she had hoped when the king's men officially came to Ventrishire in order to verify the pregnancy. Milus tricked Wilkin into committing one of his most heinous acts as executioner yet, and everyone got plenty cozy with the twins.
Having the kingsmen come to Ventrishire so early after Love's visit to the King not only added a little bit of suspense to the whole pregnancy plot, but it also served to give us one of the best foils for Milus to date.

The subsequent beating he gave to his man servant spoke volumes about that mounting frustration and how powerless he truly has become. In the end, it will force him to somewhat align with Lady Love, at least for now.
