Meanwhile, Lucrezia (Holliday Grainger) tends to her new baby while her brothers Cesare (François Arnaud) and Juan (David Oakes) find their mutual animosity spilling over into outright conflict, culminating in a heart-stopping bareback horse race. Alexander’s mistress, Giulia Farnese (Lotte Verbeek), learns that the Pope has taken a new lover and turns to Vanozza (Joanne Whalley) for advice…who counsels that there is room for three. Elsewhere, Della Rovere (Colm Feore) returns to the simple life of a pastoral priest and narrowly escapes an assassination attempt by Cesare. Following their television premieres, episodes will be made available online at borgias.bravo.ca.
