- This is where Parr stops the argument, just as is gets physical, to sing her song.
Seymour: Wait, what do you mean?
Parr: I mean, I think we've had enough of this competition.
Aragon: Yeah.. You know what Queens? She's absolutely right.
Parr: Yeah?
Howard: Yeah yeah yeah.. It's time to decide who won!
Queens, without Parr: Woohoo!
Parr: Nononono, stop! I really don't think it's a good idea.
Boleyn: Literally, what are you on about mate?
Parr: Like, let's see what gets the biggest cheer.! Being murdered by your husband or experiencing the trauma of losing your baby? Are we really gonna do this.?
Seymour: Um, I'm pretty sure we've been doing this for the last hour, so-
Parr: But, miscarriages? Come on! Surely that's one step too far!
Queens, without Parr: Oooooh!
Cleves: Oh, Catherine's got a conscience all of a sudden!
Queens, without Parr: Haha!
Howard: Oh, Catherine Parr, to all alive in arbitrary places!
Seymour: I mean, she probably doesn't even have a story to tell.
- Oh, she has.
Parr: Ugh, how do I do this.? Yeah, okay, yeah, you know what? I'll tell you a story.
Cleves: This ought to be good.!
Parr: Go on then Queens, take a seat. Cheers Joan.
Parr: So, Henry and I actually have something in common. I've also had my fair share of marriages. Though unlike Henry, I did manage to get through them without decapitating anyone. I know, gold star for Cathy Parr. But they had this really annoying habit of passing away, and so as well as dealing with you know, incapacitating grief, I also had to keep finding new husbands, to avoid being ostracised. Tudor womanhood, would recommend.
Parr: But then one day, finally I meet this guy. Thomas.. He seemed like he might stick around for a while!
- This guy is Thomas Seymour, Jane's brother and Prince Edward's uncle.
Parr: And you guessed it.. he turned out to be the love of my life. I know, right? We had this plan to get married, actually, but that's when Henry turned up, single and ready to.. make an unsuspecting woman his wife. Just my luck.
Parr: So, that was that, I had to write a letter to Thomas, ending things... Dear Tom-
- Catherine and Thomas did end up marrying after Henry's death, but Catherine died in 1548 of childbed fever, just like Jane.

this prelude is so upsetting, Catherine's story is never really discussed, but it's actually very interesting!
