Complete story — includes the ending

Ivar enters Kattegat and declares himself its new king. Ivar and Hvitserk celebrate their victory; Harald is mourning Astrid and is haunted by his murder of Halfdan. Rollo arrives and Ivar tells him that Lagertha, Bjorn, and Ubbe have vanished. Rollo guesses that they are hiding in the same hut he had sought shelter in decades earlier. Rollo urges Lagertha and Bjorn to return with him to Frankia, revealing himself to be Bjorn's biological father. Bjorn rejects both Rollo's offer and Rollo as his father. Ivar finds the hut, but Lagertha and her followers have already left, leaving a crazed Margrethe behind. They steal a boat and sail for England. Meanwhile, in Iceland the settlers vote on whether to sacrifice Floki; Eyvind's son Helgi gives the deciding vote against. In Wessex, King Alfred proposes having church services in English instead of Latin, alienating the clergy. Judith suggests that Alfred must marry and produce an heir to secure his position. Lagertha arrives in Wessex and is soon captured by Aethelred.
