The death of Lucius annoys me. He was a good character and didn't get much screen time and needlessly stayed to die. I don't mind Spartacus decision to let her go, I just wish it didn't consume an entire episode. Though, the whole wagon scene was worth it.

the way that old man threw his weight around in front of Gaius, was satisfyingly awesome. The swerve with the betrayal red herring, leading to the plan was great. And I wish Mira was able to choke that "poisonous woman" out.

Episode 8 of Vengeance is a solid episode. The main theme being balancing the vengeance between Spartacus & Glaber. Illthyia spends the episode as a hostage trying to extricate herself from her situation by playing on Spartacus' mercy & love for his wife.

Mira & Gannicus however would see her dead regardless of the cost. Mira attempts this and nearly succeeds in killing her only to stopped by Spartacus. She earlier said she knows his heart and sought to spare him having to rob Ilithyia & her child of life. He adds insult to injury telling Mira she does not know his heart and not to presume his desires. Illthyia also atempts to sway Lucius by promising to restore his lands by command of her husband.

He meets with Glaber, but instead of selling out Spartacus gets to strong arm the Praetor into sending a wagon of armour & weapons in exchange for his wife & child's lives. If he attempts any shenanigans, Illthyia's dead. Glaber agrees and we get the showdown in Atella with the Praetor & Spartacus. Their exchange is full of disdain for each other and Spartacus gets to return the favour by now holding Glaber's wife's fate in his hands.

However we see the fundamental difference in the two men. Spartacus won't kill a woman for her husband's mistake, while Glaber has no reservation in sacrificing Illthyia, his child even Albinius' fortune if it means Spartacus dies by his hand.

Which leads to the fight between Spartacus, Crixus, Agron & Gannicus against Ashur & his kill squad. They handle themselves well against most of them but The Egyptian is a whole other matter. He bests Crixus, fights off Spartacus & Gannicus and takes three arrows without flinching. Glaber & Spartacus both escape with their men though he loses a couple of soldiers & Tarsus courtesy of Mira. While the Rebels lose Lucius sacrificing himself to cover their escape, getting cut down & decapitated mid sentence.

Having lost his leverage Spartacus decides to let Ilithyia go, as her death will not balance the scales of vengeance. She is surprised by this but he tells her it's not a kindness, leaving her to uncertain fate out in the woods. The episode also saw Lucretia making moves to ensure that her plans for survival succeed. Though she fails to move Glaber into taking action in saving Ilithyia since he has a perfectly good replacement in Seppia. She reveals to the girl her brother's bracelet, taking off his body by Ashur after Glaber put him to death.

Meanwhile Ashur continues to go from bad to worse, getting drunk on power continuing his abuse of Lucretia and getting to vent all his resentments on her and the poor saps he and his men interrogate or more accurately torture and kill. He is playing a dangerous game, gaining Lucretia's wrath & Glaber's when his greed exposes Glaber's misdeeds. Also Oenomaus & Gannicus take the first step in repairing their friendship, and Naevia continues to grow in skill thanks to Crixus.

Thanks for the reaction Jimmy, the last two episodes of Vengeance are something spectacular. Looking forward to your thoughts on them, take care and peace, my friend.

I was absolutely convinced that Lucius was actually out there to infiltrate. I would've planted "allies" for Spartacus to find throughout the countryside so I could get accurate intel. When it turned out that he wasn't I was sorely disappointed in the writing, one of very few criticisms of the writing I've had for Spartacus.
