Outline

Spartacus and Crixus have yet to work out their differences.

Meanwhile, Tiberius seems bitter and broken, having had to beat Sabinus to death in the decimation, lashing out at surviving true cowards.

Crassus sends his mistress Kore to coax his heir with wine and tenderness, but Tiberius chooses to rape the “mere” slave by way of compensation.

Senator Metellus is ignored when he arrives in the Roman camp and rudely inquires why the army has not moved on Sinuessa. In Sinuessa, Sibyl makes her move upon Gannicus, who returns the favour. Spartacus tests Crixus’s patience to the breaking point by leaving him behind during raids on Crassus’s food supplies in Sicily.

After returning from the raid, Spartacus announces he is sailing on Heracleo’s ships to Sicily and releases the last Roman civilians. While Crixus learns it is a diversion for a pincer movement on Crassus’s camp, Caesar fuels the dissension and in-fighting among the rebels to the extreme before opening the gate with fellow undercover soldiers. Spartacus finds his maritime pincer leg sabotaged as the Cilician pirates have sold out to Crassus.

Agron, Saxa and Donar find themselves trapped in the city after finally learning of Caesar’s true identity and that he helped the Roman soldiers gain entry into the city.
