Outline

With the rebel forces trapped on an impassable, snowbound ridge, Spartacus and Crixus argue with each other over the method of escape.

Crassus is confident the trench and palisade he had built secretly will contain Spartacus’s army and successfully sets a trap by advancing his general’s tent perilously.

To see his debts paid, Caesar controls his fury, being relegated to lower command, while Tiberius is reinstated as Crassus’s right hand general.

Meanwhile, Kore conspires with Caesar to expose Tiberius’s rape, but hearing her lover admit that his paternal pride will forgive any filial flaw, decides instead to defect to the rebel camp.

There Spartacus overcomes Crassus’s impatience, which peaks at a bloody brawl. A snow storm kills a few thousand of the weakest rebels, but their frozen corpses achieve revenge by bridging the trench, so Spartacus’s men break free and escape again.
