It was a very emotional finale of Victoria tonight (October 15) that had viewers sobbing, worrying and cheering throughout.

Victoria and Albert were very worried when Vicky got sick and faced an excruciating time waiting to see if she would survive, and there was a devastating loss elsewhere that left viewers in floods of tears.

After last week's kiss that delighted viewers, Alfred and Drummond went on an official date and it was in equal parts amazing and heartbreaking.

Then, Princess Vicky got very sick and Albert and Victoria had a HUGE row about it – and about his dislike of the Baroness while he was there – and viewers were torn on who to side with.

Then in a heartbreaking twist (if you're not familiar with the history) Drummond died after heroically taking a bullet for Prime Minister Peel. Naturally, viewers were in bits.

Then, Alfred found out Drummond was gone, and it just finished everyone off completely.

What to Read Next

As if that wasn't enough, after her row with Albert, Victoria decided it was time to let the Baroness go – and viewers were quite pleased about it.

Viewers were pretty emotionally drained after the episode, but can't wait until it returns at Christmas. Is is December yet?

Victoria airs on ITV.
