Vorenus reconsiders his career as Atia schemes to separate Caesar and Servilia. Pullo is recruited to tutor Octavian in the art of soldiering but ends up learning a lesson or two from the boy.

Antony ponders whether to remain loyal to Caesar as Atia tries to mend fences with Servilia. Vorenus and Niobe briefly rediscover their intimacy.

Caesar and Pompey find their fortunes reversed, again; Atia enlists Octavia to ask another favor of Servilia.

Caesar arrives in Egypt with Vorenus and Pullo and forges an alliance with Cleopatra.

Caesar returns to Rome in triumph and Vorenus braces for a showdown. Servilia attempts to unearth a secret about Caesar.
