Plots(1)
Ragnar, weak and still hurt, must meet the Earl head-on after it comes to light that Rollo has been tortured on Haraldson's orders. The two men will come together face to face with a single outcome possible: Only one man will leave this fight alive. (History Channel)
Reviews (2)
An interesting plot shift that culminates in a long-awaited personal duel in the style of GoT. It doesn't have the fatality and grandeur of Kings Landing – in a grimy Viking village it's more like a poor relation of sorts in the form of a street brawl, but there's an interesting and consistent clash of two different religions and cultures, which gets its due importance. So far, so good.

The creators presented me with a well-crafted episode once again, Vikings is still managing to entertain me well, I don't get bored even in moments when the plot lacks excessive action, and that's only good. It was interesting to see how many changes the outcome of a single battle brought. And the award for the most surprised character goes to Jarl Bjarni:-)
