(The episode starts when Spartacus and Crixus are fighting each other, and shows what had happened the previous two days via flashbacks)
Spartacus is training with Rhaskos, and at the same time trying to convince him of joining the rebellion. Rhaskos says that he considers Crixus the true champion and that he therefore follows him. Spartacus request permision to work on the palus. He is considered and approved there he speaks with the German brothers, Duro and Agron, who tell him that Halmicar is with them, but most gladiators, are with Crixus. Spartacus wants to get Crixus support.
Meanwhile, Doctore request a meeting with Batiatus in private, and tells him that the Gladiators suffer at the hands Glaber's men. Batiatus says to him that he wanted to change his status to a politician, ascending to the position Aedile. And would leave the legacy of his family to his doctore, granting him freedom due to the fact he is trusted him more than any slave. He say Doctore would assume the position of Lanista and would be warmly greeted by his true name, Oenomaus. Oenomaus stays silent while Batiatus says he had that the news would be pleasing Oenomaus tells him that he had something bothering him batiatus tells him to let it out oenomaus asks if there is any truth to the rumor that Barca was not given his freedom but was killed. Batiatus tells him that Barca was indeed killed, but lies to Oenomaus about the cause of Barca's death. He tells Oenomaus that Barca was killed for disobeying his orders.
After that Batiatus speaks with Lucretia in the balcony, about their son and the celebration for Glabers' patronage. They decide that, to satisfy the elite (who were invited by Ilithyia), they would offer a thing that was only in The House of Batiatus: Spartacus, in a contest to the death with the only man that has ever defeated him, Crixus. Batiatus regards that Crixus could use the moment to gain position, but Lucretia tells him that they must make sure that Spartacus would gain the contest.
Batiatus summons Spartacus, revealing him about the celebration they planed (etcept for the plot against Crixus). Spartacus ask if the men would be displayed in the villa, but since the legatus was against the tradition, the gladiators would be in the ludus, and the gust shall watch them from the balcony. Spartacus tells Batiatus, if he would make Crixus return to training, so that he may thrill the crowd before his end. Batiatus acceds yet, he just lets Crixus trains. Spartacus at last, asks to lay with one of the house slaves, Mira. He tries to convince her to join their cause, she acepts, but with one condition: to make love with Spartacus. He accepts the deal and removes her robe and wraps his arms around her the two kiss then fall to the bed where they make passionate love.
The next day Spartacus tells Batiatus plan to Duro and Argon, and Crixus trains once more. He fights against Rabanus, and manages to break his spear in half, Doctore then commands them to rest and eat. Spartacus speaks to Crixus about the celebration and his desires, but Crixus denies joining, since he needed to achive his freedom in the arena and needed coin to find Naevia and asks how he would find her while being hunted like a dog by the romans. Spartacus reveals to him that Batiatus ordered the death of his wife, reminding him that Naevia could be returned as her, and if Crixus joined his cause, he will find her, together. Crixus tells him that in another life they could have been as brothers, yet not in this one. They decide that if Spartacus is the victor, he would find Naevia, and see her free, but if Crixus is the victor, he would kill Batiatus some day.
Meanwhile, Ashur arrives to Batiatus office, after having bought a posion from Marcellus. This poison would be given to Crixus, not for killing him, but to weaken him, allowing Spartacus advantage. Batiatus comands him to pot it uppon Crixus drink when he is about to eat.
The celebration day, at afternoon, Ashur is preparing Crixus meal, but not without flirting with Aurelia, Varro's widow, who was working as a slave to pay her husbands debts. Ashur, in a way, reveals that Crixus would not win. mira puts an end to it by calling for Aurelia since she is required in the Ludus. Aurelia leaves and as she does ashur puts the poison in Crixus' food
Spartacus and other gladiators are eating. Agron is telling Duro to stay by his side and he would protect him but Duro refuses as he does not need agron to hold his hand but agron curses that he only wishes his brother's life protected. Spartacus tells them to stop talking loudly as doctore walks by Agron remarks that he would kill Doctore, but Sparacus tells him that doctore is an honorable man and he will not have him dead, nor any other slave. Duro tells Spartacus that he's afraid for nothing as the gladiators won't act without Crixus' involvement but spartacus says "They will sieze the moment Crixus is dead and there stands only one true champion". Spartacus then sees Aurelia in the Ludus, he asks doctore for water doctore looks at roman soldier who allows it. When he comes near to Aurelia he tells her she should go somewhere safe Aurelia tells him that since he killed Varro none exist spartacus says he feels eternally guilty for it and despises the person who commanded it he tells her the boy, Numerius ordered him to do so. Aurelia does not belive him, and tells him that she saw Ashur preparing the food for Crixus, speaking of the certainty of Spartacus victory. Spartacus tells her they are poisioning his food aurelia asks him was it the same for Varro spartacus says he had no hand in that, but still, Aurelia leaves saying she hopes Crixus kills Spartacus before he succumbs to the poison.
At the same time, a soldier gives Crixus his poisoned food. When he is about to eat Lucreatia appears and tells about her pregnancy, revealing him that it's his son. She also tells him that she wants him back with her, but Crixus denies, revealing that he truly loved Naevia. As Crixus is about to drink Lucretia stops him by saying "I did not wish for it to end this way " she leaves while crixus takes his poisoned drink.
When the celebration begins, must of Capua's Elite romans arrive, among them, Sextus, his wife Aemilia, and other friends of Iliythia and others. Batiatus makes presentation and commands Crixus and Spartacus to start. At the beginning, Spartacus and Crixus are at equal level with each other, but Crixus, slowly begins to weaken. At the same time, Mira goes to pentry, "searching for wine", there she throws a bessel of wine to the floor, and offers apologies to the guard. She later grabs one of the pices of the bessel and stabs the the roman in the neck.
Meanwhile Spartacus almost defeats Crixus, and throws his shield towards the floor near the balcony, but not without losing one of his swords which agron takes note of.

To feel the warm of her skin? The taste of her lips? How many man would you kill? A hundred? A thousand? There stands but one between you and her!" Batiatus attemps to attack Spartacus but he effortlessly defeats him and tells him "Go to her and tell her the gods themselves cannot keep her from your arms" he punches batiatus and tells him to lie as he lied to spartacus about his wife.

Spartacus then makes a speech to the surviving gladiators and slaves:
"I have done this thing because it is just. Blood demands blood. We have lived and lost at the whims of our masters for too long. I would not have it so. I would not see the passing of a brother, for the purpose of sport. I would not see another heart ripped from chest, or breath forfeit for no cause. I know not all of you wish this, yet it is done. It is done. Your lives are your own. Forge your own path, or join with us, and together WE SHALL SEE ROME TREMBLE."
Spartacus, alongside the rebels
As Spartacus finishes his speech, all the gladiators roar in agreement at the idea. The gladiators and slaves, among them Spartacus, Crixus, Agron, Mira ,Aurelia and Oenomaus, escape from the Ludus, beginning the Thrid Serville War.
