Outline

Crixus’s army has been completely wiped out. Crassus sends Naevia back to Spartacus’s camp to inform him of Crixus’s death. Agron is crucified by Caesar. Spartacus captures Tiberius with the indirect help of Caesar.

A distressed Crassus sends Caesar to bargain with Spartacus to release Tiberius. Spartacus hosts gladiator games (using Tiberius and a few captured Romans as the gladiators) to honour Crixus.

In the final part of the games, Naevia battles Tiberius and defeats him with his own sword. Naevia spares Tiberius, however, when Spartacus reveals that Crassus and Caesar have offered the return of 500 captured rebels in exchange for Tiberius. During the exchange, Caesar tells Tiberius that he intends to punish him for all of his injustices, but Kore stabs Tiberius from behind and kills him.

Caesar takes an opportunity to return Kore to Crassus in an attempt to appease him, and the 500 captured rebels (which include a wounded Agron) are returned to Spartacus. Kore and Caesar return to Crassus where they inform him of Tiberius’s death, but they do not reveal to him that his son’s true killer was Kore.

Spartacus tells his surviving rebels to prepare for a final stand in the names of all their friends and allies who have fallen along the way.
