Synopsis[]
Secrets come to light as an unexpected renegade spoils Simon's plan. Wilhelm's fateful speech approaches - will he rise to the occasion?
Plot[]
A determined Simon is ready to go to the police. He kisses Wilhelm and heads out. Meanwhile, August receives a call from the Royal Court, and he’s reminded of his responsibility to the Crown after learning that Simon is going to the police. Before he goes to the police, Simon talks to Marcus, and they end up arguing over Wilhelm. Marcus tells Simon to leave him alone.
August texts Wilhelm insisting he needs to talk to him, so they meet up. August tells Wilhelm that Erik would not have allowed Simon to go to the police and that he would have protected the Royal Family.
August then reveals that Alexander will take the blame for the sex video leak. Alexander then reveals that he knows that Wilhelm framed him over the drugs. August tells Wilhelm that the police will give Alexander a minor punishment but plenty of gratitude from the Crown. Suddenly, Wilhelm is in a difficult position where more can be revealed publicly and hurt Simon.
Wilhelm warns Simon that Alexander will take the blame for the sex video leak and that the police will find out about his drugs, and how it had his father’s name on the bottle.
To try to end all the drama, Simon and Wilhelm confront August at the shooting range. Wilhelm picks up a gun and threatens him, stating that the Royal Family covers up accidents. He tells August to get on his knees and asks who tipped him off regarding Simon going to the police. Sara turns up with Felice and reveals she told August, bringing shock to the group. She explains she loves August. Simon is hurt, and Sara apologizes, knowing she betrayed her brother.
After this commotion, August tries to reason with Sara about the series of events, but she walks away. In the aftermath of all the secrets spilling out, Sara is ousted by the girls. All the attention is on her. Felice believes Sara is not a real friend, but Sara argues she has never been in love before. Right before the Jubilee, Sara disappears. The day of the Jubilee arrives, and Royal Proceedings start. August sees Sara leaving campus with a suitcase. He tries to converse generally with her, but Sara walks off. As she goes, she rings the police to “report a crime.”
Before the speech, Simon tells Wilhelm that he hates August and doesn’t want him to destroy their love. Simon tells Wilhelm he’s willing to let their relationship be a secret, but he doesn’t want any secrets between them.
Eventually, Wilhelm delivers his Jubilee speech with all eyes watching. His nerves are transparent in front of the crowd, but he proceeds with the speech. During the speech, Wilhelm has a change of heart and reveals there is a problem. He talks about secrets and old-age traditions and that he wants to put a stop to them and embrace modern-day principles. He admits that he leaked the sex video of him and Simon. Wilhelm turns around to Simon and smiles.
