She accuses him of submitting Ed to what she considered the equivalent of a public execution. Richard tells Beth he was compelled by duty to make that address. Edmund's history is complicated and Richard tells her that he did not distort anything. She asks Richard if he thinks Ed is unfit to rule. Richard says that is what he will have to say to the council. Beth doesn't understand why he would do that since Ed was entitled to rule from the beginning. Richard tells her that he was groomed from birth to take the throne, not Ed. Beth says that now since he has learned he isn't entitled to rule, he doesn't want Ed to rule either. The doctor comes out and tells them that Ed has been taken to his room. Richard says he hopes that Ed is alright. Beth asks if he really means that. Richard says he wants Ed to recover and admits that he believes Beth is good for him but he has to warn her that she should think carefully and realize what she is getting into.

Richard tries to tell Beth to let Ed rest but when he calls out to her; Beth goes to talk to him. She tells him she is there. Ed asks Richard if he is armed. He asks Beth if he is still under or if she is really there. She says he is going to be alright. She asks what happened and he tells her that Richard tries to kill him. Beth turns to look at Richard. Richard goes over the story including the Cassie/Rourke thing and tells Beth that Ed is usually the better fencer but Richard's anger got the better of him and he lost his self-control. Beth wonders why everyone thinks it is an accident. Richard says Ed told that story to Dax, leaving Richard to deal with his conscience. Richard tells Ed he hopes he is better and walks out. Beth is angry and tells Ed, that's it. He hurts you and walks out? Ed wonders if what Richard said is worrying her. She says it is, but that's not important now. She tells him to rest and get better. Ed says Richard has reason not to trust him. Beth says that there are always two sides to every story. She mentions Cassie and Ed warns Beth not to get in a duel with her. Beth is amazed he is joking at a time like this. Ed asks her to tilt the bed up; he wants to look at her. She does and he kisses her. He tells her he is on medication and she should forgive him. She thinks he will be a bad patient. The nurse comes in and Beth goes to get him some water. He tells the nurse to write down some things for him, saying that there will be changes around here. Ed tells her that he wants fresh cut flowers daily, some books and a comfortable chair for his visitors. He wants the room redecorated. He also wants cigars but the nurse balks at that. Ed tells her to go and he will ask for more later. She leaves and Beth asks if everything is okay. She tells him he feels warm and he says she has that affect on him. Beth wonders if he was trying to make trouble for Richard and Cassie. Ed says someone is trying to make Richard dissolve the monarchy. She tells him that the council hasn't met yet, there is still time. They talk about appearing before the council. Ed is glad she came to see him on Valentine's Day.
