Invalides is the 6th episode in the series and the 6th episode of Season One.
Plot Synopsis[]
On the Versailles construction site, Louis is confronted with a soldiers-workers strike. They claim the honors and privileges of a victorious royal army. Philippe seems to be the only one able to persuade them to return to work, a notion unthinkable for Louis. A humiliated Cassel is now forced to live at Versailles, but the conspiracy spreads and influences more and more nobles. Béatrice informs Sophie that they are not after all the blue-blooded aristocrats they claim to be. Henriette again stokes up the rivalry between Louis and Philippe: she is pregnant, but knows not by which brother. (1)
