Episode Summary & Review
Summary
It’s Election Day in Kattegat and all eyes are on the voting. But strangers arriving at the harbor may force an unexpected outcome. Meanwhile, Ivar receives the signal from Prince Dir that his forces are ready to challenge Oleg.
Our Take
The election in Kattegat gives this episode its best material, with the voting drama landing better than you’d expect from a medieval ballot box. The Rus storyline moves along fine but Ivar scheming in a cell is starting to feel familiar. It’s a middle-of-the-road hour that sets things up without much payoff of its own. Worth watching, just don’t expect fireworks.
