When did Anne get over her distaste for Hanry?

It seemed to me that it didn't happen gradually but just suddenly she was in love with him. What happened?

I think the first clues are in the Blackfriars court scene when Henry attempts to convince Cardinal Campeggio that he has a strong case for annulment of his marriage to Katherine of Aragon.

When the case is recalled to Rome, Anne bursts into hysterical laughter which then turns into tears which is perhaps the first sign that her feelings have become more ambivalent.

In the next scene, she pours him a drink and offers it to him - the first time we actually see her consoling Henry rather than confronting him!

God send me well to kepe

Thanks wiccaone, I missed those clues and it seemed like all of a sudden she was in love with him after thoroughly despising him. Would that she could have had some foresight into her fate. I will have to re-watch that portion, I may have had a elder moment or a quick nap.

I thought it was when she saw the size of his dowry.

Thanks Anti! You're the first person EVER to comment on it. Pearls among swine, huh?

Yer oh so vewy welcome PPOC, yes it does seem that bling is valued more highly than luster among the pork belly set.
Hope tomorrow is a better day for the Daamned, and I will try to find time and memory to give you a listen.
