EPISODE RECAP

Sex, intrigue and betrayal permeate life at Batiatus’ Ludus, as the triumphant Spartacus upsets the old balance of power while scheming by some behind-the-scenes players leads to tragedy.

Lucretia and her new friend Licinia make plans for Licinia’s upcoming visit to the Ludus to engage in carnal pleasure with a gladiator. Licinia chooses Spartacus, drawn by his illustrious status as champion. For her part, Lucretia’s patron Ilythia reveals her own desire for sex with a gladiator, sending Lucretia into a rage when Ilythia makes it known she wants Crixus. The injured gladiator, newly recovered from his wounds, returns to the training square, urged by Doctore to reclaim his position as the Champion of Capua, the title Spartacus now holds. His return is the subject of fascination within the gladiator ranks and in the household.

But it’s the sexual betrayals that cause the most uproar. Rich women seeking thrills, on the ready gladiators doing their duty – all of them disguised by masks – engaging in spirited Roman custom. When identities are revealed, death follows and spoiled rich girl Ilythia finds herself in a precarious, horrifying position for a woman of her status.
