Reign CW: What Will Francis De Now That Mary Has Run Off With Bash?; Questions From 'Fated'

Nostradamus' vision has been revealed, one of the ladies-in-waiting is dead, and Mary has ridden off with Bash. Here are my questions from the midseason finale "Fated":

No. 1-How happy are Mary/Bash fans right now?

At the beginning of this episode it appeared Francis/Mary shippers were literally going to get everything they wanted. Mary and Francis were sneaking around, Francis decided they'd just love each other and figure out the rest later and finally -- the two lovebirds were supposed to get married. The stage was set - and then Catherine had to ruin everything by telling Mary Nostradamus' vision. Now Mary has ridden away from Francis and to make matters worse for the future king of France - she's taken his brother. Although Bash/Mary fans will be happy, won't this solidify Francis' hatred for Bash?

No. 2-What has Nostradamus done to Clarissa?

At the end of the episode we find out Clarissa poisoned Aylee - and then pushed her down a flight of stairs - just to make Mary believe Nostradamus' prophecies always come true. (The seer had prophesied one of Mary's ladies-in-waiting would die.) Nostradamus did not appreciate Clarissa taking matters into her own hands and killing an innocent girl. We saw Nostradamus carrying Clarissa away to punish her. What will he do?

No. 3-What will happen to Diane?

The king told Kenna he could not live without Diane. However, now that her son has taken part in what may be deemed as a huge betrayal to France, what will the king do with her?

No. 4-What is Francis' next move?

I'm assuming Francis will attempt to look for Mary. If he is unsuccessful, what will be his, or King Henry's, next move to ensure the security of France?
