- Spartacus leads survivors through the woods, but Crixus gets separated and returns to a place of past suffering. Lucretia pries into Ilithyia's affairs, seeking influence with a powerful Roman.
- As Roman soldiers guided by Ashur found out about their raid on the mines, Spartacus and his party must flee with Naevia and a few liberated slaves. Crixus covers their escape until he's slain, but not killed and brought to the Capuan command villa with a few other gladiators captured alive. Still chased in woods and marshes, suffering further losses and inflicting some, Spartacus's party expects to die in a last stand, but just then the group which previously fled to Vesuvius comes to their rescue. In the villa, Ilithyia regains husband Glaber's favor by hosting a party starring and soothing his nobler-born rival, Varinius, but actually hopes for paternal help to enable marrying him after a divorce, which the old senator denies. The captured gladiators are offered by Glaber to be 'sacrificed', but Varinius decides to send them to the arena, except one chooses by 'vindicated prophet' Lucretia, who spares Crixus that immediate torturous horror-end without honor.—KGF Vissers
- Refusing to accept defeat after the costly suicide mission in the Lucanian mines, Spartacus risks life and limb to protect the survivors. But with Praetor Glaber's soldiers snapping at their heels, the armed fugitives' numbers dwindle by the minute, and the future of the rebellion is bleak. Meanwhile, as captured Crixus reunites with Oenomaus at the fallen House of Batiatus, Lucretia continues to push neglected Ilithyia's buttons and her luck, playing with fire. As a result, plotting Ilithyia concocts a dangerously ambitious seduction plan to elevate her status, with arrogant but vastly influential Praetor Varinius as the grand prize. However, she is unaware that Lucretia has an ace up her sleeve. After all, no one wants to leave a contest empty-handed.—Nick Riganas
