After the fighting dies down, Canute takes in Askeladd and Thorkell as his followers, and returns to Gainsborough. Canute goes through an awakening when he realizes the meaning of love in the aftermath of Ragnar’s death. Canute throws away what little feelings he had left for his father, and joins Askeladd in plotting to assassinate King Sweyn.
I thought I sent a messenger several days ago
أعتقد أنّي بعثتُ رسولاً قبل عدّة أيّام
.ليعلمكم بعودتي يا فلوكي
Ein Bote muss meine Rückkehr schon
vor Tagen angekündigt haben, Floki.
Creí haber enviado
un mensajero hace varios días
Creo que mandé
a un mensajero hace días
Il y a plusieurs jours,
Achei que tinha enviado mensagem há dias
 para informá-lo da minha volta, Floki.
