Plots(1)
At the behest of King Horik, Ragnar assembles a small party to travel to Gotaland (modern day Sweden) to resolve a land dispute with the area's leader, Jarl Borg. Ragnar's renown precedes him and Jarl Borg is intrigued--has he found a new ally or is Ragnar just a puppet of the king? Meanwhile in Kattegat, with a plague taking its toll on the village, the people look to Lagertha to help appease the gods. (History Channel)

An average episode with two charismatic supporting characters. Otherwise, though, pretty much a squandered finale.

The dullest episode so far, and the first one that actually bored me. It wasn’t all bad, with some scheming and clear setup for the second season, but the endless wandering through the forest with Queen Kolby could have been shortened or cut entirely.
