OMG ME TOO!! LOL

I think Lola will be protecting them both b/c Catherine is trying use their lil adventure against them...

I finally found myself loving Lola, she secretely ships Mash

find something real

Maybe once the CW has their fill of this lame brothers triangle they will do Bash/Lola. I love Bash and I haaaaate this triangle so I need him to get away from it.

I think that's what happens.

That's the hope.

Or Bash/Kenna might have a little something-something. Caitlin posted her "costume" for 1x12/1x13 which consisted of flesh toned panties and nipple pasties. I suppose she could just be back with the King, but if Bash is really the ladies man they've implied him to be, then they should show him getting a little action. And I saw a real connection between he and Kenna in that one scene. So, my fingers are crossed for this, personally.

That would make literally no sense, you'd think Catherine would use this at her own advantage to drive Francis and Mary further apart. She's still dead set on not seeing Mary marry her son.

and he actually has chemistry with both of those two

I think it makes perfect sense lol

Catherine will be trying to spin the fact that they left together to get Francis to hate Mary.. She also sees Bash as a threat b/c of Diane trying to legitimise him so using their adventure against them is perfectly in line with her 'own gain' .. Thats where Lola comes in, she's Mary's friend and likes Bash so I can totally see her trying to help them if Catherine is trying to ruin their reputations, ruining Mary's reputation by using Bash in turn ruins Frary... If Catherine convinces everyone that their adventure was this secret love escapade then she will have succeeded... Makes total sense to me...

But I dont think it will work and I think Frary will wed at the force of Henry and Mary's mother but it wont be happy, speculation is that Mary and Bash's connection is growing deeper and deeper and she will wed Francis but love Bash... Just what i've heard...

Of course, Catherine will try to use Bash to ruin Mary's "reputation," because that has been her M.O. in one way or another since she first heard the prophecy (hello, Colin). And I think she just hates Bash, so getting rid of him is always on her to-do list. But, due to the events of 1x08, I have to assume that the legitimization thing is kinda off the table.

I think Lola has her own agenda, but clearly, she has no love for Catherine (again, hello Colin).

But, I think the tables will turn when Mary decides that the "love escapade" is the only way to save Francis, because he won't give up on her any other way. So, I think Mary and Bash will be willing participants in that particular charade, making Francis believe there is a romance where this is nothing (or, at least, nothing that can compete with what he and Mary have).

My spec is that the "unhappy wedding" is all because of the prophecy and perceived betrayal, but that Mary will, in fact, love Francis on her wedding day, despite them being in a not-so-great place emotionally. I don't think she will truly fall for Bash at any point, but they will be close friends in upcoming episodes.

I completely agree with this theory Rachel. Well said.

Thanks, Jerry. Doesn't this plot give you s2 Roswell vibes? It's been making me think of End of the World with Liz asking for Kyle's help to push Max away when nothing else would work.

Leelala

Yeah I agree, I dont think the legitimised thing will come back now or if ever... But if Diane were to ever return I think it would always be in the back of Catherines mind.. And you are totally right, she has always hated Bash!

In the promo it has Francis yelling at Mary re; the prophecy so I dont think she will let Bash get blamed for long, and yes for now they havent developed those love feelings but the adventure they go on and their deepening alliance will change that... the spoilers have all indicated that everything is going to change/shift b/c of it.. The unhappy marriage came from the writers and Adelaide herself so even if they do rekindle something, by that stage Mash will have already fallen in love. And there lies the conundrum...

Mayberry

I third it.

Aaaaangst!
