There's a valiant subtlety when "Vikings" portrays both comfy adultery and spiritual approach, then proceeds to show Bjorn going Revenant with slight madness. The episode is quieter than previous one, although scheming still persists, especially in beds. Its finer moment comes when it shows apparition in astral atmosphere.
The episode opens with Rollo as he struggles to fit into his new life. He has been severely wounded, depressed and even accidentally intoxicated back in the days, but this is probably the most uncomfortable he's ever been. It comes to a point if one misses the last two episodes, Rollo might just be unrecognizable to them.
Royalties on the other side of the shore are now committing to adultery, any attempt to hide it is minimal at best as though they already know what the other parties desire. This is strangely effective in setting a highly dysfunctional family just ready to plant a knife on someone's back. Meanwhile, Bjorn is facing nature head on as he undergoes his baptism by ice in extremely dangerous coming-of-age ritual.
The best part in the showing is when Athelstan appears to both Ragnar and Ecbert. It's smooth and excellently crafted for spiritual effect. One of the charms of "Vikings" is this oddly mythical moments, they might not be religious in nature, but it's nice to see the characters experience it in their own visions.
