Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Bjorn returns to Kattegat to learn that an attack is to take place during the next full moon. Ivar must decide if he can place his trust in a former enemy on the battlefield.
Our Take
This is mostly a setup hour, and it feels like one, with a lot of characters pacing around waiting for the fight everyone knows is coming. Ivar’s scenes carry the episode, and there’s a genuine tension in whether anyone can actually trust him or be trusted by him. Worth watching for the character work, just don’t expect much action until the end credits.
