Some time has passed since the battle of Dunholm and Uhtred still serves Alfred, as lord of the Wessex town of Coccham. Despite the peace of recent years, trouble is brewing in nearby East Anglia, and Aethelwold brings Uhtred a strange tale along with a proposition that is hard to ignore. Uhtred's continued strong will and latent restlessness creates tension and strain during a royal visit from Alfred, and an unexpected meeting with the Northman Erik gives Uhtred more food for thought, although it puts he and Gisela at odds. Meanwhile, at Winchester, preparations for the royal wedding are underway as Aethelred of Mercia arrives. Beocca confides in Uhtred, and is left with an important question to ask. (iTunes)

After watching the fifth episode, I was a bit thrown off. In the middle of the ongoing season, there was this strange pilot episode that slowly introduced me to the story three years after the last events. It wasn't an uninteresting matter, but it unpleasantly annoyed me and unnecessarily slowed down the excellent pace of the second season so far.
