Cardinal Della Rovere, also in black, pushes through to the front of the crowd, looking up at Uncle F with either admiration or fear - and given Della Rovere's buzzkilling expertise, I'm going with admiration. Uncle Fester is blaming the current audience on Rodrigo's election, which, come on, we all saw how it went down, that's just abusive. Surely you can find something that's actually their fault to scold them about.
Back in Rome, Lucrezia is sweating it out (literally) in her golden bed. Cesare strikes a very imposing figure with his black cleric's robe against the golden wall hangings. Lucrezia frets that she's caught a something-or-the-other; Cesare caresses her hand and suggests that she's "sick of heartbreak". Djem's death is still clearly a sore spot for both of them, for different reasons. Lucrezia asks if it's true that his estate payed for her dowry; Cesare avoids the question.

Cesar believed astrology was foolish and that the masses who followed the stars were fools.
