Lucrezia's financially and politically motivated wedding to Milanese nobleman Giovanni Sforza is a disaster thanks to Juan's inappropriately bawdy play in his sister's honor, Cesare's brazen flirting with a married baroness, and the arrival of the Borgia children's illegitimate mother; Della Rovere seeks the aid of the illustrious Medici family and their counselor, Machiavelli.

This episode had the rebellious cardinal traveling through the Italian states, landing in Florence, which I loved because we got to see Niccolo Machiavelli. Unlike the usual church schemers, I really like his character. The plot kept a nice, steady pace, and even Lucrezia's wedding didn't slow things down. ()
