[s1e5] War And Vomit Apr 2026

Grigor finally snaps and serves Peter a bowl of arsenic-spiced soup. Who knew poisoning a tyrant could be so... accidental?.

The palace dog that took one for the team and ate the soup first. RIP 🐶💀

Catherine tries to bring some "civilized" sweetness to the war with Sweden, but Aunt Elizabeth shows her that the reality of the front is anything but sweet.

Did you want Peter to survive the arsenic, or were you ready for Catherine's reign to start right then and there?

Huzzah! Catherine just got a front-row seat to the "glories" of Russian warfare, and let’s just say it’s more blood, mud, and macarons than she expected. 🍓🏰

Peter spends the episode fighting for his life (and his bowels), while the court doctor recommends a dead mouse necklace for healing. Peak 18th-century medicine.

With Peter on death's door, Catherine is finally ready to step up—until she realizes she doesn't actually know where the Urals are.
