As vivid flashbacks of blood and violence reveal fragments of mighty Oenomaus' brutal past, Spartacus and his band of rebels head south, searching for captured Naevia. Following a faint trail of clues, while having nowhere to hide, the fugitives take shelter in a luxurious Roman villa, only to realise that the burdens of freedom are heavy and dangerous. In the meantime, back in Capua, convalescent Lucretia enjoys her elevated new status of Prophetess after the bloody Massacre at the House of Batiatus, supporting Glaber and triggering Ilithyia's suspicion. But someone is watching from afar. Who is the mysterious hooded stranger bearing gifts?
