* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: On the Paris side of things it's much more this than a BittersweetEnding: Claude's spirit has been broken by her confinement in the nunnery, she's trapped in an arranged marriage, and can only watch as Nicolas is forced to marry someone else. That someone being Beatrice. It's implied in the epilogue that both Claude and Nicolas's marriages are unhappy; she has no children with either of her husbands, while he has three more children, none of them with Beatrice.]]

Meanwhile, in Brussels, Georges de la Chapelle and his family take on the task of turning Nicolas's designs into reality, even as the commission makes increasing demands of them, and could spell disaster for them all.
