In this episode not a lot happens, but what happens is quite important and will have repercussions in future episodes, as some plot developments are put in motion.
Floki has a new place to enjoy his imprisonment (under a never- ending falling of water drops in a cave). Rollo tries to learn "French". Bjorn tries not to be killed. Kalf has some secret plans of his own. And then all these people in Britain.
The show keeps its three plot-lines developing (in the North, in Britain and in France). It is pretty obvious they will all meet again, but for now they don't seem to have much relation one to the other. Some are more interesting than the others (Rollo as the odd-one-out is becoming a little bit repetitive, even if it is still funny to see him trying to be all royal), but in general the show does a great job in keeping the viewer interest in all the story lines.
It is also a less violent one than others, with more plotting on the sides than battles, but much of these plotting (quite a lot happening under sheets) will probably have future and dire consequences for some of the characters.
Having to churn out episodes makes sometimes for a little bit of filler (and this episode suffers from it). But in this case the filler is of quality and the viewer won't care much.
