Production Notes
**FADE IN:** **INT. WAREHOUSE - NIGHT** Jonathan, reeling from the discovery of the heist, races out of the warehouse, leaving a confused Meech behind. He speeds toward the penthouse. **INT. PENTHOUSE - CONTINUOUS** He bursts in. The guards are unconscious, knocked out with tranquilizer darts. The penthouse is empty. Reign is gone. He screams in rage, sweeping a vase off a table. It shatters on the floor. He assumes she has run, gone into hiding. He starts making calls, trying to lock down the city. But Reign hasn’t run. She has gone to the one place he would never expect. **INT. ART GALLERY - NIGHT** The gallery is dark and silent. Jonathan, tracking Reign’s phone (a decoy she left for him to find), enters cautiously. He finds her standing in the center of the main hall, bathed in the moonlight from the skylight. She is calm, serene, waiting for him. REIGN Hello, Jon. JONATHAN (panting, enraged) You think you can hide from me? REIGN I’m not hiding. I’m teaching. You can’t run an empire and fight a war at the same time. You’re too spread out. Too distracted. You have to choose. He realizes she is right. In his obsession with controlling everything, he has controlled nothing. She has outmaneuvered him at every turn. **SMASH CUT TO BLACK.** **ON SCREEN TEXT: THE QUEEN’S CLASS IS IN SESSION. THE LESSON IS PAIN.** **END OF EPISODE 51**
