Harald really gets nothing from this, as the pact he made with Ivar remains the same, just a different brother taking control. They’ll sail in poor weather to catch him off guard. For now, Bjorn and Harald are working together to take Kattegat from Ivar. It seems she does actually love Bjorn, but you never know on this show. While Harald and Bjorn desire Gunnhild, she appears to tell both men what they want to hear. He says he’s never been in love but she seduces him into admitting it before they sleep together. Bjorn confesses his love for Gunnhild, as well. Harald wants Norway and he wants a queen, both of which will eventually be his downfall. That was obvious from the first scene the two had together.
If Hvitserk refuses, Ivar will burn his new girlfriend alive.
He’ll travel to make an alliance with other Norsemen against York. Instead, he creepily shows up at Hvitserk’s bedside and gives him an assignment. Freydis talks him out of it, posing the question if he’d rather be loved or feared. Ivar considers killing Hvitserk to make his people believe he’d kill anyone to prove he’d do anything for Kattegat. The great English army led by a Dane? Yes, on Vikings, anything is possible.
Ubbe convinces Alfred to make him commander of his army. He doesn’t get a ton of time to mourn, as a large Viking army is on the way. Judith is a poison to the crown and the sooner Alfred realizes it, the better king he’ll be. Yes, Aethelred conspired against him, but he loved his brother and believed he was on his side. I was really hoping for Alfred to immediately sentence his mother to prison for making such moves behind his back. She tells him that he mustn’t have feelings like an “ordinary person.” He must act like a true king. Judith convinces him that it was a necessary sacrifice to be made to keep him alive. His reaction? He throws a temper tantrum, flipping the table and destroying some glasses. Over the same dinner table where she murdered his brother, Judith tells Alfred that she poisoned Aethelred and why she did it. After learning of the tragic fate of Aethelred, Alfred is heartbroken.

Pete’s girlfriend meets up with Tom to tell him that she’s changed her mind about helping Tom because Pete has been missing for a week and she wants to find him.He tells Cooper that he doesn’t like the way he buckled under the pressure of Samar being kidnapped in the field and he’d like to request to be occupationally trained. But not good ol’ Aram, he’s strictly by the book.(GOOD!) At his funeral, she tells Tom, “I don’t know if I can lose any more friends without crawling into the fetal position or becoming a stark-raving vigilante.” Tom says Reddington already has their family’s one allotted spot filled, but “stark-raving vigilante” really does seem to be the profession of choice around these parts, doesn’t it? Liz is truly torn up over the death of Dr.Perhaps I’ve never truly gotten over Jolene… Speaking of, is it just me or does Ryan Eggold have chemistry with everyone? Every time Tom gets a new person to play off of, I briefly think he’s going to make out with them.I hadn’t taken much to Hawkins until this episode, but finally, someone acknowledges that Dembe is a “friggin’ babe.”.Don’t ask questions, just enjoy the adorable dogs at the Critter Cabin. Throughout the episode, Red was also working on finding a way to funnel the serious cash that his little AirBnSafeHouse enterprise is bringing in already, and he somehow ends up buying a dog grooming non-profit.
