Marcus's Parents visit and shower them with presents, Marcus tries hiding his new Gaulfriend from them. Grumio invents blue cheese, landlord finds new ways to make money. Stylax has his eyes on the vestal virgins with disastrous results.
Marcus's parents visit but he is anxious to keep them away from the politically passionate Delphine and is embarrassed when they accidentally meet. Fortunately his mother Sylvia knows how to save the situation. Meanwhile Stylax falls for vestal virgin Ursula but whilst they are having sex she allows the Sacred Flame to die - a capital offence. With the guards looking for her she is lucky that Grumio's disastrous foray into cheese-making offers a means of escape.—don @ minifie-1
