    I don't know, I've got very mixed feelings on this episode (I just got to watch it now!).
    It seems to me that historical facts are being left more and more behind, in terms of time dedicated to them.
    I mean, I'm happy Vorenus finds his kids again and he takes the little boy back, and honestly... I feel no pity for Servilia, she did put Caesar to death (at least in the show), so she kinds of deserves it *thinking like a Roman, now*.
    But still I miss seeing more of the historical characters and less of the fictional ones.

    However... there were some great lines!
    Like Cicero's: "Caesar he calls himself! Another... Caesar... just what we need". I really loved that... and I think it does fit with the real Cicero too!

    Or Marc Antony's lines to the 'doctor': "What are you doing back there? Are stitching me up or making a dress?!" Really enjoyed that!
