After the battle, Freydís and Harald are in hiding in the countryside. They face a fundamental conflict: Harald is determined to reclaim the Norwegian throne, while Freydís is committed to her pagan beliefs and the protection of her people.
Freydís chooses her own destiny, sailing away with the Jomsvikings to Jomsborg, a hidden pagan stronghold.
The episode culminates on a foggy beach where Olaf and his bounty hunters corner Freydís, Harald, and a group of refugees. Just as an attack seems inevitable, huge fireballs launched from Jomsviking warships rain down, creating a wall of fire that allows the group to escape.
