In this week's episode, we dive into how a Corsican outsider rose to dominate not just France after the French Revolution, but an entire continent—all while dealing with a hellish mother, scheming brother, and cheating, black-toothed woman he could never let go of.

This episode unpacks Napoleon Bonparte's volatile reign, his toxic dynamic with the Bonaparte clan, and the way Joséphine refined him...and ruined him. And most of all, how the same ego that built an empire led him straight into catastrophe.
