Plot summary
As the spring season arrives, Spartacus and Crixus come to a crossroads in their quest, while a relentless Crassus forcefully drives his men in the pursuit of Spartacus, and the personal conflict between Tiberius and Caesar intensifies. Crixus and Spartacus decide to part ways: Crixus choosing to advance west to Rome (followed by Naevia and Agron), while Spartacus heads north to leave the country. While the rebels are celebrating after capturing another town, Laeta and Spartacus become closer. Tiberius, fearing being exposed, rapes Caesar with the aid of his men. Crixus and his followers defeat Rome's defences before being met by Crassus's troops. In the ensuing melee, Agron is wounded and Crixus and Caesar battle and Crixus is stabbed from behind by Tiberius. Crassus then orders Tiberius to decapitate him in front of Naevia as a message to the others.
