Catherine de' Medici, known for her ruthless political maneuvers, orchestrates Margot's marriage to future king Henry, showcasing her unnerving control over her children's choices.
The title 'All Saints Day' ironically downplays the impending chaos associated with St. Bartholomew's Day, revealing a disconnect between the characters' awareness of history's weight.
Margot's struggle against Catherine's schemes illustrates a deeply personal impact of political alliances, as her desires are consistently overshadowed by her mother’s ambitions.
The episode's extended length emphasizes the escalating tension and complexity of relationships, ultimately framing Margot's plight within a larger narrative of power and sacrifice.
