In front of the Capuan elite assembled on the balcony of the ludus, Crixus and Spartacus fight to the death, a bout arranged by Batiatus for their sport. However, two days earlier, Spartacus endeavors to enlist the help of the rest of the gladiators to lead a revolt to destroy the house of Batiatus once and for all. Spartacus gains support from Mira, who is tasked with opening the gate, but Crixus resists in hopes of reuniting with Naevia. Steadfast in their respective causes, Spartacus and Crixus coming to a mutual understanding. Meanwhile, Doctore (whose real name is revealed to be Oenomaus ) confronts Batiatus about Barca's death and Ashur's hand in it. Later, during the duel, after learning he was given poison to ensure Spartacus' victory, Crixus finally joins the revolt. In the melee, Doctore initially stops Spartacus from killing Batiatus, but Crixus persuades him to join them just as Ilithyia escapes by having her husband's soldiers seal the villa doors. Duro is killed after saving Agron, Ashur escapes the carnage, and Crixus stabs Lucretia, killing their unborn child. Aurelia stabs Numerius to death in revenge for Varro, and Spartacus confronts and kills Batiatus. After the massacre, he vows to the surviving gladiators and house slaves that they will make Rome "tremble". Spartacus leads the gladiators and house slaves from the ludus.
