Servilia mourns Brutus before his death mask and then takes her grief to Atia's doorstep. She repeatedly demands justice until the noise and gathered crowd force Atia to confront her. Instead of leaving quietly, Servilia calls down a curse and kills herself in front of her enemy. Atia has also arranged Jocasta's marriage to Posca, giving the survivor of the purge a new household. Among the rulers, Antony, Octavian and Lepidus divide their responsibilities but agree to share revenues. Antony's attempt to keep Herod's payment for himself threatens their cooperation when Posca lets Maecenas know about the money.
A marriage is proposed to repair the alliance, and Atia expects to become Antony's wife. The men choose Octavia instead, hurting both Atia and Agrippa while giving the political agreement a family bond. Timon and Levi plan to murder Herod during the wedding procession, but Timon abandons the attack after considering his family and the futility of the killing. Levi tries to proceed alone, and Timon kills him in the struggle. In the Aventine, Memmio uses Vorena's affair with his man to recruit her as an informer against her father. Eirene's complaints about Gaia lead Pullo to attempt a punishment that becomes a sexual encounter. Gaia later buys herbs capable of inducing a miscarriage, leaving their intended use unresolved.
