VIKINGS 3.04 – ‘Scarred’ Healing With A Twist & An Unexpected Death

Ivar is crying again and Auslag is at her wits end. Harbard comes to the rescue, and offers solace with a price. He sleeps with the queen and everyone is wondering if Ragnar can count. Cause if she gets pregnant from this, the king will be most displeased.

Siggy isn’t buying what The Wanderer is selling and knows something wicked this way comes. She tries to dissuade Auslag to no avail. When the children go missing, she races to their rescue, loosing her life in the deed. Wow! That hurt. I didn’t see that coming. Siggy. You will be missed.

Porunn looks awful! Can I write that again? Porunn looks REALLY AWFUL! Bjorn I think will stay with her, but will she allow it? Did she loose her baby?

Ecbert’s son tries to play nicey-nice with Rollo and Floki and the shipbuilder isn’t convinced. “Where is your soul? Where is your belief?” He sees this alliance as ruining his Viking heritage and a dishonor to their gods? Based on history, the dude has a point.

Ragnar still suffers from his wounds in battle and Princess Kwenthrith seeks healing in a very different manner than kiss-it-and-make-it-better. I think I was as surprised and amused as Ragnar. Well, she did make up for it. Healing with a happy ending. Who knew?

But wait! There’s more! The Princess isn’t done with her performance! It seems she took Ragnar’s advice on her idiot brother and realized he was a boat anchor on her life. Poisoning him in front of everyone was brilliant. Suddenly thirst has fled everyone and for good reason!

Kallf isn’t just wiling away his time while Lagertha is away. That dude has plans! When his VIP’s show up we get a clue as to just how clever the betrayer is! Son of Horik and husband to Jarl’s widow. I still shudder over the Blood Eagle episode. And from the looks of things Vikings are big on revenge.

Observations and Questions:
• Go Lagertha GO! What’s good for the goose is good for the gander! It was wonderful to see her make some moves all her own and seeing Ragnar jealous was priceless.

• Athelstan! I think Judith has confessed A LOT. Wouldn’t you know it, he gets BUSTED!
Poor guy can’t sin and get away with it.

• Half is betraying Lagertha with enemies who’s real target should be Ragnar. I am most
interested to see how this plays out.

• Will we see The Wanderer again?
