The invaders capture a fleeing and pregnant Lucrezia as they march on Rome, but she charms King Charles and is allowed to persuade her brother Juan to withdraw his hopelessly outmatched defensive troops; Pope Alexander VI awaits to learn of his fate as Charles enters the city and makes his way to the Vatican.

Even though this episode was heavy on dialogue, I still enjoyed it. The brave defenders of faith were highly entertaining, especially in their interactions with the Pope. I also got a kick out of gonfaloniere Juan Borgia, who proved himself to be a "genius" tactician and really brightened up my day. ()
