Last week’s episode of Spartacus: House of Ashur might have been the calm before the storm, but there’s still a lot to mull over. The hit Starz show shocked us with Celadus’ (Dan Hamill) death in episode 8, falling victim to the House of Proculus’ newly acquired female gladiator.

This has all built up to Achillia’s (Tenika Davis) triumphant return to the arena after she’s lost her love and biggest cheerleader. Even worse, Tarchon (Jordi Webber) is still choosing to make her life even more difficult.
