Okay, I achieved screencaps. Have some illustrations of the Fritzian parts of the above.
Here are Fritz and Fredersdorf in front of Sanssouci
Here they are in a room supposedly Fritz' audience room. Actually, now that I can look closer at the screen caps, I can see it's not even in the Neue Kammern, it's in the Neuer Palais, which definitely did not exist yet in early 1756 when this is supposed to take place: the great ball room. (Note the Silesian marble!)
Fredersdorf hires a new spy, OC Max de Simoni:
Have sex for Prussia!
Simoni uncovered the Diplomatic Revolution. This is somewhat worrying for our Prussian duo:
For all I make fun of this series and it's massive liberties, they did do their research. Fritz is showing snuffing repeatedly, and note the dogs in the background here:
Now this is a rather good approximation of how Fritz' study might have looked like before it was renovated in his successor's time. This is the scene when he's duetting with hot Swiss spy Simoni.
Since Fritz has taken all the Saxon soldiers and pressed them into his army, August III. sends a messenger asking whether he can at least have his honor guard back when he retreats to Warsaw. Fritz, somewhat preoccupied with his dog, says no.
Now for the big one, the attempted assassination by chocolate scene somewhat later. First, leisure time chez Fritz:
Glasow puts the fateful cup of chocolate on the desk.
Lemme have some chocolate!
The King's love could be deadly, is all I'm saying.
This totally explains the Scourging of Saxony thereafter:
Lastly, I couldn't resist at least one screen cap not featuring our lot but Brühl (in the blue coat) and August III at Königstein, having just received the news the Austrians got defeated at Lobovitz which means they're screwed:
