Storyline

Spartacus realizes his racially divided troop is neglecting its defense, proves it with a mock Roman surprise attack on the temple ruin and finds a way to get his man training and bonding, trough competition and wine. Unexpectedly, Varinius arrives to 'relieve Glaber' just when Ashur has located Spartacus's layer. Ilythia informs Seppia that Glaber had her brother murdered to turn her rival into a weapon against him, but at the last moment saves and apparently reconciles her startled husband.

Awesome Episode

I just had to write this review after watching the episode.

SO much happens, that you're just saying what the hell just happened, as you watch! Was literally sitting on my hands during the last 15 minutes.

The story continues on from the last episode (as usual), but takes drastic turns as we go through the show. This often leaves you wondering what will happen next, because I cannot seem to predict who gets hurt or worse.

If you have not seen this yet, you should. Definitely one of the best episodes this season.
