Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The army leaders consider their options in the aftermath of the battle; in Floki’s camp, all hopes of binding the community together are dashed as tragedy unfolds.
Our Take
A quieter aftermath episode that spends most of its time on Floki’s settlement in Iceland, and honestly that’s where it drags. The tragedy there lands well enough, but the political maneuvering back in England feels like table-setting for later. Worth watching if you’re invested in Floki’s arc, just don’t expect the momentum of the previous battle hour to carry over.
