18

Thorfinn duels with Thorkell to decide the fate of Askeladd. Meanwhile, Canute lies still in the snow and daydreams about Ragnar, who apologizes for raising him as a son instead of a prince, and bids farewell. After awakening from his reverie, Canute has an epiphany while talking to the priest who talks about the difference between love and discrimination, and Canute decides to confront the current situation himself. He stares down and calms the berserker Bjorn, who is stabbed by Atli, one of the Askeladd's men. He orders the priest to heal Bjorn while he accepts the challenge of being king. Back at the duel, Thorkell kicks Thorfinn, sending him crashing into nearby trees. (Source: Wikipedia)
