I keep looking for Ragnar to show up...but, I guess that is not going to happen.
Yet, the Viking series does continue to get interesting. King Ecbert demands Judith return to her husband Aethelwulf. He seems to be more of a good guy. He takes time to let Alfred ( Aethelwulf's adopted son kinda,) how good and great a man Athelstan was.
Floki sums up a conversation he overheard with Ragnar's sons: " This is what he meant the little piggies will grunt?" Ivar and Bjorn are challenging each other as the true leader. Although Bjorn is still the Viking's Great Army leader, Ivar is showing his military tactic skills...introducing guerrilla warfare. Ragnar recognized this skill in Ivar...the skill of being unpredictable.
Kattegat is under attack, yet Lagertha sees their plan and defeats the Viking opposition led by Egil, who is left..."roasting on the fire." To save his wife, Egil mentions Harold Finehair is behind the rebellion against Queen Lagertha. Egil is given the title "Egil the Bastard" by the queen of Kattegat. This can't be good.
Then, the Earl of Denmark received an axe in his forehead, courtesy of King Harold Finehair. It is soon followed by a sword in the back by Finehair's brother into the Earl's wife while she was sexually involved with King Finehair while secretly carrying a knife to kill him. Halfdan the Black ( King Harold Finehair's brother) summed it up: " It seems after all I do know women a lot better than you."
In the midst of blood and war emerge Floki and Helga in a touching scene. The "adopted daughter" has ran off. Helga is hysterical and Floki goes out and finds her. As he approached her, he gently says: " I'm sorry. You hate us. I don't know what to do." The girl returns, looking into the eyes of Floki as she enters their home.
Yet, the center of attention seems to circle around Ivar the Boneless. His suggestion to use the countryside to fool the army of Wessex into desperate scenarios proved brilliant. Ivar says to Bjorn, "The Saxons now have a great army. Do you want to fight in a different way? Do you want to win? Use the landscapes (to our advantage.)" Bjorn responds after liking the idea of Ivar: " If it works, it is a good plan, if it doesn't, then it is a bad plan."
It worked beautifully. Aethelwulf and his Wessex army are left to make a final charge in a desperate and futile attempt to win.
Ragnar was right...Ivar the Boneless strength lies in his ability to be...unpredictable!
