Plots(1)
The invaders capture a fleeing and pregnant Lucrezia as they march on Rome, but she charms King Charles and is allowed to persuade her brother Juan to withdraw his hopelessly outmatched defensive troops; Pope Alexander VI awaits to learn of his fate as Charles enters the city and makes his way to the Vatican. (Showtime)
Reviews (1)
Even though this episode was heavy on dialogue, I still enjoyed it. The brave defenders of faith were highly entertaining, especially in their interactions with the Pope. I also got a kick out of gonfaloniere Juan Borgia, who proved himself to be a "genius" tactician and really brightened up my day.
