The plot by Aethelhelm to start a war with all its events happening in one episode resulting a roller coaster of emotions leaving you at the edge of your seat is just pure perfection.

One of the finest and hardest episodes to watch, very sad and stressful. And that what has always made TLK one of the best shows ever on TV.

It looks like things are going to get crazy "literally, if you watched the last scene " from now on.

Just pure pain. From the cries for help of the slaughtered Dane's. To Osferths pleads for finan to not let him die. I'm a wreck.

Miss u baby monk.

This season is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions.

This episode was a complete game changer for the series.

Four words: Osferth. Didn't. Deserve. That.

Finan and Osferth have been my top two favorite characters since their introductions (however I have not read the book series. Lovers of the source material, forgive me). I feel like this episode took them BOTH out with one emotional stone.

Seeing Osferth desperately fighting off two men at once, and Finan trapped with the impossible choice to run to the aid of his brother-in-arms or Ingrith, his wife and mother to his child; then blaming himself for the outcome, was difficult to watch.

The attack on young Uhtred...where do I begin? Only for him to be roughed up while trying to help the townspeople when he himself could barely walk from his wounds. His screams during both events was devastating, as was the look on his face as the people were slaughtered before him.

Aelflaed's death made me audibly go WTF.

Aethelhelm's strangled (no pun intended) cries for his daughter, having only himself to blame, and his descent into what can only be described as pure madness was downright terrifying. I cannot think of any other time where I have been more frightened of a characters capabilities for evil.

Edward having sex with his mistress right after discovering that Aelflaed was dead (and his son was bitterly mourning his mother) was such a low move. Even Aethelflaed had a bit of empathy for Aethelred during his injury and ultimate demise.

Mind is still reeling from this episode, and as painful as it is to watch, might warrant a rewatch in the near future.

R. I. P Baby Monk.... Uhtred's group will never be the same without you.

This episode was something else, Aethelhelm's plan backfires when he causes the death of his own daughter.

Uthred just made aware will be a loose cannon, seeking revenge.

The Last Kingdom went from a first season, with mediocre acting to a masterpiece that thrill on every episode.

I always disliked Aethelhelm, as the writes intent to make you do so, but at the end of this episode, I was like.. snap out of it, let the rage flow through you, Aethelhelm, play your role into making this season as epic as possible.

Such a strong season, although I am not finished watching, I devote all my spare time into doing so.

Excellent play, a dark and epicly written season, they have made watching this serie the highlight of my year, and I thank the cast, producers and writers from the bottom of my heart.

The chain of cause and effect displayed throughout this episode can be studied in universities.

And besides, Osferth... Osferth. The entire scene of the attack is one of the most heartbreaking and engaging I've ever seen, and it is built perfectly.
