As they try to reach Caesar in Greece, the shipwrecked Vorenus and Pullo confront an unexpected dilemma. Back in Rome, Atia again sends Octavia to beg protection from Servilia, who complies readily to encourage her growing friendship with Octavia. As they prepare their counterattack against Caesar, Pompey's Republicans begin to squabble over both the anticipated spoils and the method of finishing Caesar off. Niobe's sister Lyde comes back to see her and comforts her over Vorenus disappearance. Badly outnumbered, Caesar and Antony make their stand at the Battle of Pharsalus where they defeat Pompey, who flees, and has a run-in with Vorenus and Pullo after their escape from their island. On his arrival in Egypt, Pompey is greeted by a Roman veteran... who kills him.
