Bash and Mary outside.


When Mary's dog Stirling runs into the woods, he warns her that young girls, royals, queens don't leave the castle alone and that she should let it go, strongly emphasizing that she should not enter the woods surrounding the castle. After proceeding to tease her about her life with the nuns, she replies that he is cheeky. He promises her that he will find her dog.

At his half sister's wedding, he and Mary glance at each other when she and her friends are dancing, and Francis seems to notice. When he later runs into Mary to return Stirling to her, he comforts her and assures her that she isn't alone and that he isn't talking about her friends. But when he sees his mother at the end of the hall, he quickly changes his statement. After Mary leaves, his mother asks him where he found the dog, and he replies: "in the woods". His mother then asks him, with a worried look on her face, how close he got.

In Snakes in the Garden, Mary shares her worries about Colin with Sebastian. He claims to know a way out of the castle and promises to track Colin down for her. He also warns that the guards are afraid of the woods, so he will look there as well. He mentions that these are dark and dangerous times, but Mary's presence brings light.

Bash woods

Bash in the woods.

Sebastian, searching in the woods for Colin, comes across blood on branches and continues to follow the trail. Blood is seen dripping on both white petals on the ground and onto Sebastian's face. He looks up, and there is a body strung from the tree by its ankle. Sebastian hears someone approaching, so he hides, taking out a knife, but realizes it is Francis. He questions how Francis found him, and Francis says that it was Sebastian who taught him how to track. They hear people in the woods around them, and while Francis thinks it's guards who will not hurt them, Sebastian believes it to be someone else. Sebastian calls out "We take what's ours, not yours. Even dead men answer to the king." he then starts speaking in another language, while cutting his hand and bleeding onto the white petals on the ground. He tells Francis that the people are leaving and that they need to get Colin's body back to the castle. Later, Francis confronts Bash about what language he was speaking, but Bash brushes him off. Francis also questions Bash on him going out into the woods on Mary's command. Bash retorts that he feels duty-bound to protect Mary, as she is Francis' fiancée, but Francis doesn't believe him.

In Kissed, Bash and Henry are sparring and Bash gets defeated when it's obvious his mind is elsewhere. Francis comes in, in hopes of talking his father into helping Scotland. However, Henry again says that he has made up his mind, so Francis challenges him - if Henry wins the sparring match, Francis will shut up about the matter. If Francis wins, Henry sends six companies of men to Scotland. Francis ends up winning and yet, Henry refuses to honor the agreement, stating that making promises to everybody and only keeping the ones that work in your benefit is all a part of being king.

That night, when King Henry allows Francis to send troops, Bash leads them. He returns from battle gravely injured, as he reveals that the English rode from Calais and slaughtered the six companies of men that Henry sent for Mary. Nostradamus, whose vision is confirmed by the carnage, concocts a potion to put him to sleep.

Bash healing from his injuries

In Hearts and Minds, Bash is still recovering from his injuries and being tended to by Nostradamus. Bash is visited by Lola, who is checking on him on Mary's behalf, where she then reads him Norse Mythology. In fear of Mary's safety from Tomás, Francis confides in Bash of the rumours of him murdering his first wife. However, they have no proof. Tomás walks in on their conversation and warns Francis to stay away from Mary. Tomás goes on to allude to murdering Mary, prompting Francis to go in for a punch. Bash manages to stop him before he does something regrettable and falls in pain from his wound. When Tomás leaves, Bash agrees that he is indeed a monster.

Bash fighting Tomás.

Later that day, at the Michaelmas Banquet, he is approached by Lola, who is dressed as an Archangel from the the book she read him. When Francis joins them and they begin talking of Tomás and how he was desperate to get a queen to marry him, they realize that he was the spy who informed the English of France's troops approaching, because if France was able to help Mary, she wouldn't have to rely on Portugal. Bash and Francis then ride out to the woods to find Miguel to use him as a witness to confirm Tomás' guilt. Bash and Tomás fight, but Bash soon falls in pain due to his previous injury, so Francis steps in to help him. Francis ends up killing Tomás, and Bash reassures him that "killing isn't supposed to be easy," and "if your hands weren't shaking, you'd be him." He, Francis, Mary, and Miguel return to court with Tomás' body and watch as Simon Westbrook is released and absolved of the guilt thanks to the evidence he, Francis and Mary found.

Bash talks to Mary about Olivia

In A Chill in the Air, at the Harvest Festival, Sebastian greets Mary and her ladies and asks Mary what has changed to make her seem to enjoy her time in France for once, saying her smile is like the sun. She asks if he enjoys flirting with everyone, and he agrees that he does, in fact, flirt with everyone. Mary tells him that without the burden of worrying about an attempt on her life, she is quite happy. When he asks if there is anything else, Mary confesses that Francis also makes her happy, which makes Sebastian leave, telling her he wishes to be drunk at her wedding. When Francis' ex-lover, Olivia shows up at the castle after her carriage was overrun by bandits, Francis leaves to look after her. Sebastian takes Francis' place next to Mary and Mary asks him about the girl. Sebastian recounts how Olivia and Francis used to live at court and left a few months before Mary arrived, leaving Francis brokenhearted.

Francis finds Sebastian on horseback and asks what he told Mary about Olivia. Sebastian says that he only informed Mary of Olivia being Francis' first, and didn't mention of how many. Seeing Francis upset, he apologizes for overstepping his bounds. Francis then tells him that he believes Olivia's carriage was overrun by pagans and that they were told the king's road was flooded, which was a lie because it isn't.

Guards find Olivia's carriage in the woods and see that the wheel was broken due to a trap placed. They find the driver and the servant hung upside down with their throats slit and blood dripping onto the ground beneath them. Sebastian rides up to them and notices that the driver is still breathing and wants to cut him down. The guards disagree, claiming that Sebastian is interfering with a ritual and the people who did it may come after him, but Bash does it anyway. Nostradamus is tending to the driver when he asks about the people in the woods. He calls Sebastian a fool for interrupting their sacrifice, but Sebastian thought the people only sacrificed animals. Nostradamus says they have always done human sacrifices, but they weren't as bold as they are now, luring people into the woods for sacrifice. Neither of them know what has changed, but Nostradamus knows that Sebastian is in danger for interrupting the sacrifice and suggests that he stay close to the castle in the coming days.

Bash

Nostradamus later notifies Sebastian that the driver has succumbed to his injuries. He tells Sebastian of the conversation he had with the man before he passed, mentioning the pagans' need for sacrifices. Apparently, they need fresh human blood as a sacrifice for a beast that lives in a cave in the woods, the location of which only a few people know. Mary finds Sebastian on the lakeside, drinking from a cask of wine. She asks for some and he hands it to her, and she continues drinking it despite not liking the taste of it. He says he should probably tell her to slow down, but she knows he won't. A clearly drunk Mary then laments to Sebastian about Francis. She is angry that Francis can do whatever he wants with whomever he wants while she has to wait for him. She stops ranting, asking Sebastian if she is overreacting and boring him. He tells her that he doesn't understand why Francis would look elsewhere when he has Mary. Mary kisses Bash and pulls back, apologizing and telling him she should not have kissed him. He agrees, adding that he should have kissed her first. When they finally pull away from each other, Francis is watching them from afar. He obviously saw them kiss and walks away. Mary tells Sebastian that they should not have kissed, that it was a mistake and leaves.

Sebastian is knocking the dirt out of his boots when the pagan who was involved in the slaughter of Olivia's driver and servant, with the necklace that made the indent in his chest, tells him that he has taken something that doesn't belong to him. The man adds that it wasn't the first time he has stolen from them, and Sebastian remembers cutting down Colin's body. He tells Sebastian that he wasn't his to save. He tells him to pick another sacrifice from the castle, and if he doesn't, they will chose one for him. He then throws himself off the balcony, falling to his death.

Bash Francis 106

Bash and Francis

In Chosen, Sebastian decided not to choose anyone to be sacrificed, so they did it for him, as he was forewarned. They picked Mary to be their sacrificial lamb and they let her know by leaving a necklace on her pillow while she was sleeping. She brings the necklace up to Bash, because she thought it was a gift from him. He says it wasn't him, but he recognizes the symbol, and realizes the danger that Mary is in. Sebastian pulls Mary and Francis into a corner and reveals the meaning of the necklace. The three form a plan to keep Mary in safety. Francis makes a few thinly veiled comments about secrets, trying to get the two to come clean to him about the kiss, but neither Mary nor Bash tell him what happened.

Bash asks his mother about the sacrifice practice. His mother used to be a part of the pagans in the woods. She left once they began to change their ideology. Because of her involvement, the pagans might even count Bash as one of them. She then proceeds to warn her son not to covet Francis' fiancée, because he needs to stay in his brother's good graces, as he will be King. Bash bribes a guard to take out a prisoner in the dungeon. He takes the prisoner to the Blood Wood. He pretends to string up the man to lure one of the pagans in, in order to kill one of the pagans instead. While taking the prisoner back to the castle, the foolish man admits that he heard him fight with the pagan and knows Diane was once a pagan.

Bash then kills him, in order to protect his mother's reputation. Back at the castle, Bash doesn't reveal what really happened to Francis and Mary. He only mentions that the debt has been paid. Although Francis is relieved, he forbids Mary and Bash from being together, going as far as to threaten Bash's life should he disobey his order. Bash takes his threat seriously and goes to his mother to tell her that they aren't safe here anymore.

BashDiane 107

Bash and his mother surrounded by Count Vincent's soliders.

In Left Behind, Bash didn't leave with his father to fight in his stead because, as he tells his mother, he's had enough killing for a while. Diane doesn't want to talk about her son's most recent lethal adventures, though, she wants to talk about making him king. When Henry dies, Diane is sure Catherine will throw her out and Bash will only live at his brother's mercy. Her solution is to have Bash be legitimized as heir to the throne. Bash warns his mother that they can get beheaded for even talking about it, but Diane continues that she has bribed a cardinal to get Bash legitimized. He tries to shut her down by saying that stealing the throne from his brother isn't something he's going to do. She suggests that Francis is the one who stole it from Bash, since Bash is older, but Bash has none of it. He adds that he's happy as he is. Their conversation is interrupted when Count Vincent's men burst into the room to capture them.

An Italian guard enters Bash's cell to give him some food, and Bash take the opportunity to escape by beating the man and running away from the cell. However, he quickly runs into more guards. Bash is yet again imprisoned, when another guard comes in to tell him that the count wants anyone who defies his authority killed. Bash braces himself for an attack, but instead he is given water. He learns that Diane is paying the guard to look after him.

The next morning, Bash strolls with his mother outside and suggests that she played a role in having the castle seized by Count Vincent. If something happened to Francis and his brothers, Bash would be the only person left to succeed their father. The Vatican would be willing to legitimize him and he'd even be able to wed Mary. Diane admits to her involvement, angering Bash. He doesn't take kindly to the fact that Diane tried to sabotage his family. Diane tries to convince him that they aren't his family, but Bash just gives her a hard look and walks away.

In Fated, Bash pulls his mother to the side to talk with his legitimization. He asks her if the cardinal's visit to the castle has anything to do with her, and she informs him that such matters must be discussed in private. He reiterates that he does not want to become king, even if it meant that he could have Mary. Later, Mary talks to him in hopes of deciphering Nostradamus' prophecy. Bash tells her that because he is a bastard, he was able to choose his own symbol, and he chose the lion. He is later pulled to the side by his mother again, where she tells him that Catherine found out about Diane's plan to legitimise Bash, and is now using that knowledge to blackmail Diane into leaving court. She urges her son to temporarily flee court as well, and leaves on a reassuring note that she will talk to Henry and make him understand. In the stables, he runs into Mary, who is preparing to leave court on horseback. He joins her, since he is also leaving court, and the two ride away.

Bash and Mary are still on the run from the soliders Henry sent after them in For King and Country. England is at stake and the King won't let Mary get away. Bash sees no other option but to jump off a cliff into the unknown waters to escape. Mary is reluctant to jump off the cliff at first, as she thinks they cannot survive. However, they are soon surrounded by the King's men, so Bash and Mary hold hands and jump into the water. Mary and Bash have found an inn where they can stay. Bash then tells Mary of him having to flee court because Catherine found out about his mother's plot to legitimise him. There is a knock on the door. Bash yells at Mary to hide under the bed. The King's men come inside and threaten Bash, but he does not tell them about Mary. When they threaten to cut off his fingers, Mary comes out, and the two are taken back to castle. At the castle, Bash is taken away to the dungeon

Bash in the dungeon.

King Henry has set his sight on the throne of England, and is willing to sacrifice his son for that. He threatens Mary that if she does not marry Francis and lay claim to the throne of England, Bash will be charged with treason and executed. When he finds out that Mary is planning on marrying Bash, Francis storms into Bash's cell and beats him up, demanding to know why he stole Mary from him. Mary comes in and stops Francis. She tells him that Bash knows nothing about her proposal and that it is her decision. Francis warns Mary that she is throwing everything away for superstition. He is not going to forgive her, even if she is doing it to save his life. Bash is confused and hurt, as he has never wanted his brother's crown. Mary then asks him if he will accept the throne to save his brother, and he demands more than a half-beat time to think about it.

King Henry agrees to Mary's terms. Bash's ascension to the throne will be announced once Rome legitimizes him. In the throne room, Bash and Mary are standing there with Henry, when Francis tells Bash how he has taken the throne and Mary from him. He wishes them a long reign and walks out, which is when Bash realizes that he has lost his brother and best friend. The following morning, Mary joins Bash on the balcony. Bash recounts how one moment, he was on the clopping block and the next, he gets the crown. They agree to do it to save Francis' life. Bash then adds how unexpected it is that he is getting married to her.

Mary wants to know why Bash is not present in the throne room, as everyone is expecting him to be there. Bash has to show the noble-men that he is a capable ruler. Bash protests at first, but Mary convinces him to be in the throne room. There, Bash is bored to death, listening to mundane complaints. He is not too amused listening to a chickens and goat feud. When Lord Hugo asks him to resolve the feud, Bash gives them a rather silly idea. However, he is fully awake when a pregnant young woman is brought in. She is accused of stealing. Bash is a little rattled but soon composes himself, ordering the girl's home to be searched and incarcerating the girl in the castle.

Once the girl is taken away, a woman comes in, approving the bastard as the King. She gets too close to Bash to the point when Alec has to strike her down. She is holding a small knife, which has been dipped in poison. It was an attempt to kill Bash. Mary finds Bash with the young, pregnant woman. She asks Bash if the girl is pregnant with his child, but Bash corrects her that the young woman is his cousin, Isobel, daughter of his mother's half-brother. Although Mary and Catherine think so, Isobel is not pregnant with his child. The child's father passed away in an accident. Isobel's father was accused of treason and as a result, he was beheaded for his crime. If anyone finds a connection between Bash and Isobel, and that a traitor was his uncle, Bash will not be able to be King. Mary decides to help Bash. Isobel is showing signs of going into labor. Mary and Bash form a plan to fool Catherine's guards and help Isobel escape her condemned fate. Mary accompanies Isobel in a carriage, while Bash takes another route.

Bash and Mary in the woods.

Bash meets Mary, Isobel and Alec at a spot inside the forest area. Isobel's water has broken, prompting them to pitch a tent in the forest area and keep watch while Isobel gives birth. When Mary steps out to bring water, she finds a pagan marking, which alludes to the marking of death. She breaks down the pagan structure. When Bash and Alec learn about what she has done, they are shocked. Mary defends herself by saying that the pagans would have killed them if she had not done that. Pagans soon surround the tent, chanting a hymn. Bash, Alec, and Isobel hum the same hymn until it reaches its peak, in which the pagans decapitate a horse. They then leave. Mary is furious as she believes Bash is a pagan and a heretic, and it is the truth that he was hiding from her. Mary's absolute hatred for pagans surfaces. Bash explains that he is a catholic but knows the hymn because of visiting his uncle's place as a child. Isabella, her father and Alec are pagans, and Isobel's father was beheaded because he was found out to be one.

Isobel gives birth to a girl. However, she soon passes away because she lost too much blood. Before dying, Isobel asks Bash to take care of her daughter like he took care of her. Bash promises to do so. He gives the baby to a wet nurse, asking her to take proper of the motherless child. Mary notices a mark on one foot's sole. Bash tells her that it is a pagan custom and Isobel must have done that. He concludes that the mark may disappear. Bash and Mary return to the castle with Isobel's body. Bash tells Lord Hugo he had to kill Isabella because she attacked him. He feigns ignorance about the missing baby. Lord Hugo has no other option but to buy that explanation.

On Isobel's grave, as is Pagan custom, Bash cuts his hand and drops blood. Mary does the same. Bash admits that he never wanted the crown. But if that is his fate, he will accept it and learn to wear it for her. They then kiss.

In Inquisition, Mary and Bash visit the baby, and worry that someone will see the mark, linking them to Isobel. Later, Bash asks Mary to commit politically. Bash doesn't think it's enough. He asks her if she's ever thought what it might have been like if he was the one for whom she was intended when she first came to court. Later, Mary and Bash receive word that Catherine has learned where the baby is and they set off to get to it first. Mary and Bash reach the baby just minutes before Catherine's people arrive, so they hide and are spared, but the baby is discovered and taken back to the castle.

Bash and Mary take the servant back to the castle to tell the tale of the baby with the port wine stain. Henry has Richard's beard shaved and his similar stain is revealed. He is removed to lose his head. Mary tells Bash he exhilarates her and challenges her in ways she never imagined and that her heart is open. While Mary is taking a bath, Catherine sneaks in and puts the poison pill into the water intending to take them both out, but Clarissa comes in and saves them both. Bash comes in and pulls Mary from the water, telling the guards to chain up Catherine like the animal that she is.

In Royal Blood, Bash works with Mary to protect Catherine's sons, and later works with Catherine too when Charles and Henry Jr. are kidnapped by Clarissa. Bash helps track down the boys.

Bash meets Rowan

In Dirty Laundry, Bash returns to France. While hunting boar with a bow, he's tackled by Rowan, a fellow hunter who didn't want him to get caught in her boar trap. She brings him back to her cabin where he meets her brother, who tells Bash that he's the first boy that his sister brought home, but their attention soon changes when a wild-haired, pale Olivia comes crawling up to the cabin. Rowan notes that this must be a noble, seeing as how Olivia was wearing silk, and that the cuts on her arm are from the pagans feeding on the poor girl. Rowan and her brother want Olivia and the darkness she carried to their doorstep gone and when Olivia learns this, she begins slicing at her arm before fainting in Bash's arms. He goes back to the palace, requesting help from Nostradamus. He grows worried at Bash pointing out Olivia's bite marks and her talk of being "chosen." Bash thinks it means that she's been marked by the creature in the woods, the one the pagans worship, but Nostradamus doesn't believe nature is malignant; any evil in the woods is manmade. He tells Bash that Olivia needs rest and gentle treatment for the time being and encourages him to get out of the castle for his own safety.

Later, Bash visits Mary in her chambers to warn her about the possibility of Francis having involvement in the attempt on his life. Since Francis views him as a threat to both the crown and his marriage to Mary, Bash thinks that there's a distinct possibility that his brother could have set up the hit, what with his newfound power. Mary, though, doesn't think knowing Francis ordered anything would change a thing and chastises Bash for threatening to kill her husband if it turns out to be true. Before leaving, Bash warns her to find out who she's really married to and advises her to put a candle in the window if she wants to talk. The next day, Bash agrees to take Mary through the Blood Woods, to stop Lola from getting an abortion. After Mary stops Lola, she tells Bash that she believes Francis and that since there's nothing here for him, he needs to leave the country. He cannot care for her, as she is married, and if he has to hate someone, she wants it to be her and not Francis. Bash, however, pledges to protect her. Bash goes back to Rowan's with the intention of telling her goodbye and leaving France, only for the two to kiss.

In The Darkness, as Bash says what he thinks are his last goodbyes to Rowan, who assures him that he's better off away from court, he sees that their door has been marked in blood by the pagans, meaning that one member of the family will be taken by the Darkness. Now that he's without a family to call his own, Bash won't let anything happen to Rowan or the ones she loves, so he decides to stay and fight rather than flee the country. Bash boards up Rowan's home and creates a murder hole with the intention of trapping the Darkness and getting a look at what has caused such chaos in the woods. Rowan and her family claim that they cannot leave even if they wanted to, as there are other families in the woods that will be moved on to if The Darkness is forced to pass them up. Since it cannot be stopped, they decided to lay down and let it down as it wishes with them and to ensure that Bash doesn't stop them, Rowan slips something in his tea that makes him pass out.

Kenna and Bash1

Kenna and Bash forced to marry.

In Monsters, Bash returns to the palace to get help in defeating the Darkness. He is soon thrown in the dungeon after his arrival when he was exiled to begin with. He soon gets help from Mary and Francis as he takes them to Olivia whom can back up his story of what lurks outside the French Court. The brothers team up against the Darkness. Bash and Francis search the woods for people. Francis and Bash fight over their forced issues as they find fresh tracks. As Francis walks ahead, he finds Rowan's hand on the ice and tells Bash not to come any closer then falls through the ice. Bash hurries to Francis and cuts through the ice with a sword, saving him. Back at hte castle, Bash finds Francis by the fire and asks how he’s feeling. He says lucky to be alive and tells Bash he saved his life and asks if that was wise. He asks why he risked it and Bash says he’s his brother. They soon discover that it was Henry whom ordered the guards to kill Bash. Henry wants to kill Bash but Francis protects him. For punishment, Henry forces Bash to marry Kenna.

In Liege Lord, neither Kenna nor Bash have gotten over their sudden marriage that was forced by an increasingly mad King Henry. While Kenna is upset that she got a man whose title didn't bring about the money/status she was looking for, Bash being strong-armed into marrying one of his father's mistresses is tough for him to stomach. However, he believes that despite how self-centered Kenna may be, the two of them have to begin to like one another if this marriage is going to be anything less than painful. During the Party For Scots, Henry approaches Bash and asks how marriage is treating him, using the opportunity to poke at his bastard son regarding his recent encounter with sexually voracious Kenna. He leaves Bash with the thought that his first born could be a king's son, something of a belated wedding gift.

Bash and Kenna, with the king

Bash saves Kenna from Henry.

Bash confronts Kenna about spending the afternoon in Henry's quarters. She sets him straight, though, with her true reason for being there, how terrified she was to be alone with a man who's clearly mad, and her disappointment that he would never jump to his feet to be the true, gentle knight that he's been for Mary since she arrived in the country. In the throne room, Henry has a hallucination in the middle of the day and rushes to Kenna to find comforting, telling her that he finds her innocence soothing and putting her hands on his head. Bash gets him off of her, though, and when the two are alone, he tells his wife that he's always going to protect her.

In No Exit, Bash gives Kenna a modest wedding ring he says came from his mother. She likes it and asks why and he reminds her they agreed to at least try to make their marriage work and it’s a good start. The next day, Bash and Francis spar in the courtyard. Bash asks if he’s upset about Mary and he says that James wants her back in Scotland. He says that he worried about this since he decided to marry her. He asks what to do when being a good husband means being a bad king. Bash tells him to be a bad king and Francis says that’s why she wanted to marry him. Bash says she never wanted to marry him – only to save Francis’ life. Francis says he could have put her first. Later, Francis and Bash walk down the hall and sees Mimi, a high charging courtesan, leaving James’ footman’s room. They wonder how he has that much money to spend. Francis and Bash pull the footman down to the dungeon and catch him in a lie. He has gold stitched inside his bag - English gold. They caught him sneaking out and demand to know where he was going and why he has gold from the realm of his wife’s enemies. He makes excuses and Francis sends for the torturer to get him to talk.

Bash congratulates Kenna on her ruse with Catherine and the actor who was not a bishop. She tells them that Penelope’s estate went to Catherine and she gave it to them. She also got to keep Catherine’s ring. He says she got all she wanted – land, money and jewels. She also shows him the ring she of his mother’s she got back from Penelope’s and says they need to have a real marriage. She kisses him.

Kenna with bash

Bash and Kenna tender moment.

One month later, Bash and Kenna are making progress in their relationship. Bash returns from hunting the Darkness and Kenna decides they should have sex. However, Bash wants to take it slow. Bash holds steady in his position that Kenna needs to experience a lot to make her forget about all other men. Later, he leaves the room only to find Mary and Francis sharing a tender moment. This prompted Bash to rush back to Kenna, intent on consummating their marriage. Kenna was very perceptive, knowing there was still a part of Bash that cared for Mary, and tried her best to pull him out of his head to better focus on her.

Kenna and Bash

In Higher Ground, Kenna asks Bash to get information on Lord Julien. Bash suspects that Lola’s pregnancy was before the marriage to Lord Julian yet he still does not know it is Francis' child. This surprises Kenna. Later, he informs her that Julien is planning a hunting trip but he doesn't have hounds, falcons, gear, or more than one horse, so it looks like he might be taking Lola's dowry and skipping town.

Mary comes to Bash for help. He finds out that Mary is behind the kidnapping of Catherine and has gotten herself in trouble yet again. Mary asks Bash what is was like when he had to chose a sacrifice to save her life. He could not believe that Mary was going to involve and innocent to clean up her mess. Bash warned Mary of the choices she would make would have dire consequences. Making Mary remember everything they had gone through with pagan sacrifice. She tells him that she wants the non-innocent she sacrifices to be the guard she thinks had something to do with the Scot massacre. Bash is against it, though, since he knows what it's like to kill someone and have the guilt from one action linger over you from that day forth. He tells her she must be sure or her conscience won’t let her rest again.

In Long Live The King, Bash finds a child who seems to have been a victim of The Darkness. He brings him back to the castle to be taken care of and questioned, but he doesn't get much information because the boy is afraid of him. He takes much better to Kenna whom is much gentler with him, and tells her about a sharp-toothed man and a place called Visigod. Bash and Nostradamus set out to find Visigod after Bash assures Kenna that she’s what he wants now and this is just something he has to finish first.

Bash protecting Kenna and Pascal.

The season finale, Bash and Nostradamus are hunting the Darkness. They reach Visigoth, an abandoned flooded city on top of a hill. They find Pascal's home filled with sacrifices and various symbols on the wall, all corresponding to recent natural disasters. The lone missing piece - a drawing of stars falling - puzzles them as to its significance, though once Bash sees the rhyme written on the wall, he knows he has to get back to Pascal and Kenna.

Bash makes it back in time to fight the Darkness and pushes him back into the blade of Nostradamus. A dying Darkness tells Bash that Pascal must succeed him in order to keep a blood plague from spreading throughout France but rather than letting a child falling into the clutches of the Pagan world, he kills the Darkness without allowing Pascal to formally accept his position.

Bash returns to the castle after hearing of his father's death. When he sees Francis, he begins to bow as to show respect for the new King but Francis stops Bash and pulls him up into a hug.

Kenna assures Bash that he doesn't need to keep fighting for his place in the world, as he has one with her, the two see the shooting stars that were on Pascal's wall - a sign of the blood plague.
