Uhtred is thrown in chains on a ship and Hild and Ragnar embark on their mission to free him, but time is not on their side. The lords of the north congregate in Eoferwic, and Guthred learns to sorely regret his act of clemency. Gisela refuses to be used as a political pawn, while Aelfric is tireless in his efforts to hunt Uhtred down, and enlists an old adversary to help finish him once and for all. Alfred turns his mind to forging a political alliance making Aethelflaed aware of her duty as he seeks suitors for her. Halig's act of bravery comes at a high price, which Uhtred finds difficult to bear. (iTunes)

Uhtred's maritime adventure didn't captivate me much, but the events on land more than made up for it. The creators are doing a great job maintaining the right atmosphere, seamlessly transitioning from action to intrigue. Alfred's conclusion was brilliant — what a crafty fox. ()
