In this weeks episode we rejoin the main chronological narrative and take a look at the ups and downs of our key characters during  1744 and 1745..

On the up were the Empress Elizabeth, Sophie of Anhalt Zerbst, Maria Theresa of Austria and Alexei Bestuzhev

Sliding down were Johanna of Brunswick and Frederick the great 

And Peter Fyodorovich..... well he's got problems of his own.
