In the Season 1 finale, abandoned by even his cardinals, Alexander meets King Charles with humility and saves his throne, even eliciting a confession from the conqueror he crowns as the new "King of France and Naples;" Della Rovere despairs as Charles abandons him; Lucrezia safely gives birth to a son in a convent as the Borgias secure an annulment of her marriage and plot revenge on their enemies.

The season finale was pretty well done. What amused me the most was the Pope's total victory in his undeclared war against the cardinals. The other events and conversations didn't disappoint me either, making it a solid conclusion to the season.
