Episode 201
The Reformation begins as Henry breaks with the Catholic Church and declares himself head of the Church of England; a cook is blackmailed into poisoning a high-ranking bishop, then boiled alive for his crime; Anne's insistence leads to Henry breaking all contact with Katherine and banishing her from the court.
Episode 202
Henry continues undermining the Catholic Church's influence in England, while his chaplain makes a fact-finding tour of Lutheran Germany, and Anne resolves to consummate her relationship with the king - even as Charles Brandon begins planting doubts about her virtue.
Episode 203
Henry's patience finally wears out and he marries Anne in secret, appoints his Lutheran chaplain Thomas Cranmer the head of the Church of England, and strips Queen Katherine of her title and status; the king and new queen have their first child, and are disappointed that it's a girl... whom they christen Elizabeth.
Episode 204
The country is asked to swear an oath recognizing the new royal succession, and Henry as the supreme authority in England; Anne becomes pregnant again and schemes to ensure that she controls her randy husband's mistresses; Sir Thomas More refuses to swear to all aspects of the oath and is jailed in the Tower of London.
Episode 205
A miscarriage and her sister Mary's impetuous marriage to a lowly soldier jeopardize the power of Anne and her family at court; after many failed attempts to coerce his endorsement of the king's new powers, Sir Thomas More is finally ordered to be executed as a traitor by a reluctant Henry.
Episode 206
The power and influence of Thomas Cromwell spreads as he investigates the Catholic Church for evidence of corruption, even as Pope Paul III denounces the execution of Sir Thomas More; the queen is rebuffed in her efforts to betroth Elizabeth to the French dauphin after the king of France refuses to recognize her daughter's legitimacy.
Episode 207
The persecution of the Catholic Church reaches its pinnacle as Thomas Cromwell reports on the institution's accounts and confiscates its wealth for the crown, making Henry the richest English king in history; Katherine dies in pious poverty and obscurity, leaving Anne, newly pregnant, a firmer grip on power; a new lady in waiting catches Henry's eye: Jane Seymour.
Episode 208
The brief resurgence of Anne at court is short-lived, as Jane Seymour rapidly replaces her in the king's affections, a process speeded up by Henry's near-fatal jousting accident and Anne's hysteria-induced miscarriage; now that Katherine is dead, Henry attempts to renew his alliance with her nephew Charles, the Holy Roman Emperor, who makes an intriguing proposal.
Episode 209
The fall from grace of Anne Boleyn is swift and complete, as the king grants greater powers to the family of his new love Jane Seymour, and accepts Thomas Cromwell's obviously trumped-up charges of adultery against the queen, who is found guilty and forced to witness the executions of her alleged lovers, who even include her own brother George.
Episode 210
Anne awaits her execution in the Tower of London as Henry's marriage to her is annulled and he proposes to Jane Seymour, who accepts; baby Elizabeth is removed from the line of succession; after several delays that give her false hope of a reprieve, Anne Boleyn is beheaded - while her ex-husband and king feasts on a royal delicacy: roasted swan.
