Ragnar announces his plan to raid Paris, and gives Ubbe and Hvitserk their arm-rings, so they can travel with him. Before they leave, Ragnar asks the Seer how he will die; he replies that Ragnar will die when “the blind man sees him”. In Wessex, Ecbert sends Aethelwulf and Alfred on a pilgrimage to Rome. In Paris, Charles begs Rollo to not return to Ragnar, and Rollo assures him that he will not. Odo reveals to Therese that he will have Charles killed and overthrown.

Earl Kalf proposes to Lagertha, but she chooses their wedding day to fatally stab him ‘as promised’. Increasingly fixated on the freed Chinese, Ragnar confides into Yidu hat age worn off his raiding spirit and is told she’s an imperial bastard by a concubine.
