Outline

Some months later as the spring season arrives, Spartacus and the rebels come to a crossroads in their quest, while a relentless Crassus forcefully drives his men in the pursuit of Spartacus and his forces, and the personal conflict between Tiberius and Caesar intensifies.

Crixus and Spartacus decide to part ways, with each man choosing his own path; Crixus choosing to advance onto Rome (with his followers including Naevia and Agron), whilst Spartacus heads for other places to take his followers away from the country.

While the rebels are celebrating after capturing another town, Laeta and Spartacus discover their feelings for each other and have sex for the first time. Tiberius gravely humiliates and tortures Caesar with the aid of his men.

Crixus and his followers defeat several armies before being approached by Crassus’s troops. In the ensuing melee, Agron is wounded and Crixus and Caesar battle. Caesar lands the first hit as Crixus is armed with a spear that was meant to be thrown at Crassus to ‘claim partial victory’ for the losing battle.

Naevia assists then they are separated, Crixus overwhelms Caesar within a short exchange but before he can finish him is stabbed from behind by Tiberius, who tells Caesar that the time has not come for Caesar’s suffering to end. Crassus orders Tiberius to decapitate Crixus in front of Naevia, and Crixus’s death is shown as reflected in Naevia’s eyes.
