Sex, intrigue and betrayal permeate life at Batiatus’ (John Hannah) Ludus as the triumphant Spartacus (Andy Whitfield) upsets the ol
d balance of power while scheming by some behind-the-scenes players leads to tragedy. But it’s the sexual betrayals that cause the most uproar when rich women seek thrills from ever-ready gladiators doing their duty – all of them disguised by masks – engaging in a spirited Roman custom. However, when identities are revealed, death follows and spoiled rich girl Ilythia (Viva Bianca) finds herself in a precarious, horrifying position for a woman of her status.
Ep. 110: “Party Favors” – Premieres Friday, March 26th at 10pm ET/PT
Although Varro (Jai Courtney) and Spartacus (Andy Whitfield) are fighting side by side in the arena, the spirit of brotherhood is otherwise nowhere to be found in the Ludus. Batiatus (John Hannah) continues his maneuvering to gain power and prestige in Capua, a desire thwarted at every turn by his rival Solonius (Craig Walsh-Wrightson). Lucretia (Lucy Lawless) counsels a distraught Ilythia (Viva Bianca) back to health in exchange for having Ilythia promise to invite her rich and powerful friends to attend the upcoming exhibition. Meanwhile, Crixus (Manu Bennett) and Naevia (Lesley-Ann Brandt) continue their illicit and dangerous liaisons, even as the former champion plots his return to glory.
