A very intriguing episode. Actually, "Secrets" might be the best of the series to this point.
It starts with another graphic childbirth scene - is there any other kind in Domina? - and a stillborn. The news is not good for Livia, who is advised that attempting to give birth again might end up killing her.
That doesn't go down all that well with Gaius, who is hellbent on having a son to carry on his legacy. Livia offers to give him a divorce and move out to the lake country.
There is lots of arranged marriages, lovelorn looks and even a few secret attractions in the aptly-named "Secrets".
More strong acting and writing. "Domina" isn't a swords and sandals epic full of battlefield action. More a political thriller, and done very well.
