It makes sense that the fifth episode of this prequel season would be the most compelling one yet. It took four or five episodes for 'Spartacus: Blood and Sand' to fully gel, and while 'Gods of the Arena' didn't have the same pacing or tone issues that the first season did when it began, 'Blood and Sand' still needed time to build up the stakes for the characters.
Still, she started from a place of self-sacrifice, or as much self-sacrifice as she could muster. Of course, she couldn't wait to have Titus out of her life, and she'd been helping that process along for years, as it turns out (it's a great credit to Lucy Lawless' masterful performance that it both was and wasn't a surprise that Lucretia has been poisoning Titus for years).
And if the look on her face in Titus' death scene was triumphant, her grim, humiliated expression in her scene with Crixus was just as eloquent. Lawless was on fire in this episode, easily transitioning from grief over Gaia's death to fury at her father-in-law's obstinance to abject hurt at Batiatus' badly timed remark about her inability to give him a child.
Speaking of Batiatus, he was ready to sacrifice all in this episode as well: He was willing to give up the ludus and his ambitious to keep his wife at his side. There was really never another choice, though Hannah did a typically sensational job of playing the ambiguity of the arena scene. Batiatus wanted to be the kind of guy who could brain his father and finally take revenge for the years of put-downs and insults, but he couldn't do it in the end. That's a good thing.
Of course, it absolutely makes sense that Lucretia and Batiatus were more cynical in 'Blood and Sand,' because cynicism is what often follows the loss of illusion. All the characters in 'Reckoning' gave up a cherished dream in this episode: Gannicus lost to Crixus on purpose because he had given up his fantasy of being with Melitta; Ashur gave in to the idea that the only way he'd stay out of the mines was through treachery; Titus realized his son wasn't a perfect copy of his old man and that Lucretia couldn't be shamed out of the house. As Lucretia and Batiatus did, everyone faced facts as they were, not as they wanted them to be, and that created the sense of resignation that pervaded the well-paced hour.
The biggest tragedy of it all is that the character who had done nothing wrong got the most awful outcome. Doctore's one measure of comfort, his wife, was ripped from his life, thanks to choices that began with the very masters he obediently and loyally served. When you think about it, 'Spartacus' is one big Mobius strip of pain: If Lucretia hadn't forced Melitta to have sex with Gannicus, those two wouldn't have fallen in love, and Gannicus wouldn't have eventually chosen to leave the ludus rather than live with his unrequited desire.
After all, Lucretia just gift-wrapped a nice present for her husband: A gold-plated reason to take out his arch-enemy, Tullius. And so the cycle of vengeance and unintended consequences will go on and on. For the slaves, there's this question as well: "What price will you pay for love or for freedom?"
Dustin Clare was terrific in the episode, whether he was almost wordlessly communicating his love for Melitta or experiencing the realization that their relationship would never work. But his best moment was his uncomprehending stare at Lucretia's reaction. Gannicus was just beginning to realize that, yet again, a slave had merely been a pawn in some game played by his "superiors." There's no doubt Lucretia felt pain at Melitta's death, but her first instinct, as always, was for her own survival. It was left to Doctore to throw his wife off the cliff just as Gaia was discarded the week before.
I certainly wouldn't be surprised if Gannicus willingly dies in the 'Gods of the Arena' finale next week. He's been deprived of love, friendship and freedom.
