"AND THEN I was beheaded!" Aimie says finishing all you wanna do as the queens leave the stage, giving her her own moment on stage

"Yeh, seeing as how I won the competition, all I wanna do is take this opportunity to recognise all the powerful men who got me where I am today! Couldn't have done it without you! London, You have been an absolute sensational audience toni-" She tries to say but is cut off by the queens rushing out yelling objections

"Okay fine, you had it bad but that was not the most heart wrenching song we've heard this evening." Natalie points out Aimie raises a brow "Sorry? Were you not listening to my song? It had four chorus, that's how much -" she's cut off by a drum sound, "I had to deal with." She finishes

Natalie immediately responds "So true, when you died, your son did have to grow up without a mo- oh wait, that was me! aND NO ONE CARED WHEN YOU DIED!" She yells at the end, Aimie went to retaliate but Amelia steps in

"Jane, chill out, It's not her fault no one remembers her bland and uneventful life." She says pulling Aimie close before looking towards her

"Babe honestly, I don't want it to be weird between us just 'cause my beheading was the result of years of actual trauma and humiliation and yours-"

"Oh pipe down Anne! You seriously wanna talk about humiliation?" JJ says interrupting Amelia standing in front of her

"Okay, well when I was queen, Henry had not one, not two but three historically confirmed mistresses!" She says in a certain voice causing Amelia to hold back a laugh, as she points a finger at Amelia

Amelia hunches over in faux tears "mistresses" she begins to mock before yelling "Get over it!"

Amelia continues on "When I was queen, I had not one, not two, but three miscarriages!" She yells in JJ face "Ohhh okay well you know what Anne Bo-Loser? I had five miscarriages!" JJ says in retaliation causing the queens to start to argue

"Okay okay alright! Queens! Catherine it's your turn. Take it away, honey." Lexi introduces as Maiya takes the stage, but doesn't sing.

"You know what, I'm good." Maiya says before pausing "Yeah, I just can't keep doing this." She says softly

Amelia laughs awkward into the mic before looking up at Maiya "What?"

"I'm sorry. Sorry for..." she pauses "it's just- I don't know, it's like... It's just we're here in front of these people being like let's see which gets the biggest cheer, trauma or abuse whoo-hoo!Should we really be doing that?" Maiya complains as the queens stand around her

"I mean we've literally been doing that for the last hour." Natalie points out the obvious "I know, but miscarriages? Really? Isn't that a bit...?" She trails off in question

"Someone's got a conscience all of the sudden." Lexi says in a mocking tone as the queens 'ooooh'

"I'm Catherine Parr, I draw the line in arbitrary places Blah blah!" Aimie mocks along side Anna

"You know what, queens? She just knows she's not gonna win." JJ points out in a joking tone

"Oh, so she's trying to make us look stupid instead of playing by the rules like everyone else." Natalie adds on as the other queens cheer in agreement, mocking 'Cathy'

"You know what, queens? If it's a sob story you want, I will give you one." Maiya says as annoyance and defeat fills her voice

"Are you sure Catherine? Are you sure you don't wanna stick to backing vocals? You know, where you belong?" Aimie questions in faux innocence

"No, you're right I should sing a song. It's only fair. Go on queens. Take a seat." She tells them, the girls comply as Amelia sits down at the top of the stairs  "Ladies, how about tonight we try something a little bit different? Joan can you give me a cheeky little B flat, Major 7?" Maiya questions as the Music starts

"Perfect. So, just for a little bit of context I've actually had my fair share of marriages. Something Henry and I have in common, I guess." She trails off

"Though unlike him, I did manage to get through them without decapitating anyone. I know, gold star for Cathy Parr." She says in a sad cheer

"But they had this really annoying habit of passing away as well as dealing with incapacitating grief, I also had to keep finding new husbands to avoid being ostracized..." she trails off softly

"Yeah, tudor womanhood. Wouldn't recommend." She informs the crowd who laugh

"And then, one day, finally I meet this guy Thomas." She says happily, smiling at the thought "He seemed like he might stick around for a while. And you guessed it, he turned out to be the love of my life." She informs them Amelia grinning like a weirdo watching Maiya talk, she always loved Parrs introduction

"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." She says annoyed at the fact

"Just my luck. So, that was that. I had to write a letter to Thomas, ending things. Dear Tom..."
