When Cesare lands in northern Italy with a French army, Alexander is furious at what he sees as a challenge to his authority, but reluctantly accedes to Cesare's plan to destroy the Sforza dynasty. Catherina, meanwhile, has come up with a plot of her own: biological warfare. Concerned about the lack of funds for his Crusade, Alexander imposes punitive taxes on the newly arrived Jewish community. (Showtime)

I was torn between three and four stars for this episode. In the end, I settled on a weak four. I was expecting some juicy Vatican intrigue, but instead, we got a new, pretty dull alliance and uneventful negotiations with the Jewish delegation. Not exactly what I was hoping for. 4*-
