Whelp, despite all the big talk, Marsus and Antonia's attempt at getting one over Titus just seemed to fail spectacularly.  I guess that's what happens when you underestimate those around you: especially the ones you buy and put into servitude.  Thinks certainly look dour for Marsus in particular, but we'll see if they find a way to worm their way out.  Either way, this gives Domitian a big boost since Titus now trusts him a little more and is starting to ease off of him.  He'll probably end up regretting that!

The Gold Faction has been reformed and Scorpus is basically blackmailed to rejoin them.  At this point, I'm waiting for him to somehow go to the Red and Green Faction at the rate he's going.

Kwame vs. Flamma: Round 2 is in the cards, but Domitian is already trying to rig the card by having the overseer not give Kwame any food to make him weaker.  At least Viggo is finding a way to sneak some in for now.

Love is in the air as Cala's youngest falling head over heels for the youngest Spaniard horse trader, while the oldest hooks up with some woman that I'm not sure if we actually have met before or not.  So many characters here.

Tenax's day continues to get even worse as he is basically left crippled by the big scarred guy.  Of course, instead of just finishing him off, the guy leaves him to burn alive, so a last minute save will no doubt arrive.

After binging the whole season things start to blend together a bit, but if I remember correctly you are talking about the woman with the young son. She is the woman whose husband gambled away her shares in the blue faction in the first episode thanks to Tenax fixing the race.

I thought that woman was the one who fell for one of the brothers and Aura was with someone we had never seen prior.
