Maybe they drank the tea. Just kidding.
Good question. I hadn’t thought about that. Didn’t EQ in some episode make a comment about how everyone at the palace was still loyal to Snow? I don’t remember which episode that was in but I’m almost positive she said that at some point. Gosh, darn it now I’m gonna have to back and watch them all again until I find it. There must be some episode that it is going to deal with how EQ convinced everyone that Snow killed her father? Since she had the Wanted posters with Snow’s pictures on them that seem to imply that she had murdered her father?
Once thing I will say about this show is the farther you get into it, the more holes you discover and the more you realize there is missing from the backstory. I am in the process of re-watching the episodes with my son to get him caught up and he has said a few times that it is a bit confusing – but he’s 10 so sometimes I have to rewind or go back to other episodes so he remembers stuff.
