Outline

As Crassus leads an all-out attack to retake the rebel-occupied city of Sinuessa, Gannicus stays behind to cover the retreat of Spartacus and most warriors into the mountains.

However, Gannicus is forced to hide behind enemy lines with Sibyl while waiting for a chance to get away. Laeta is branded a slave for her cooperation with Spartacus.

Crassus rewards Heracleo for his cooperation with gold and the ‘traitor’ Laeta. Gannicus makes his move and manages to kill the pirate captain and rescue the new ‘slave’ Laeta, who is wounded during the escape.

Meanwhile, Tiberius is tasked by Crassus to hold a celebration in honour of Caesar’s victory of re-capturing the city where Caesar challenges one captured slave to a duel. Caesar also bribes Senator Metellus to share the looting of the whole city.

Gannicus, Sibyl and Laeta escape and rejoin the rebels’ new camp on a remote mountain range in the dead of winter.
