ThereвЂ™s little doubt that Torstein will continue to harry the Mercians, even down one arm.Д«ut it is back at the court of Ecbert that we are shown the greatest potential storms forming. The scene in which director Ken Girotti shows the ship builder removing the arm and cauterizing the limb is well executed, not only conveying the feeling of вЂњthere-but-for-the-grace-of-Odin-go-IвЂќ among the other Vikings, but the grim and ruthless determination of both patient and physician. The incident is used with varying degrees of subtlety to portray Viking fierceness, priorities, and relationships when Bjorn offers to do it himself but Torstein insists that Floki do so since, as Floki points out, were the situation reversed, Torstein would do the same for Floki. Sensing that he is dying as a result of the wounded arm, Torstein asks Floki to cut it off. IвЂ™m hoping itвЂ™s the latter because itвЂ™s frustrating watching Clive Standen just moping around.ДЄnd TorsteinвЂ™s limb too is hacked off, though this time at the request of its owner. ItвЂ™s clear that RagnarвЂ™s brother is ramping up to some kind of breakdown or epiphany. This is so nonsensical that even Torstein, who seems to be going mad from sepsis in his own limb, questions RolloвЂ™s behavior. Rollo, who has been out of sorts since his brother forgave him his betrayal, attacks one of the wounded enemy soldiers, hacking away at one of his legs (because it was at an odd angle? he later indicates) and eventually, it seems, killing him outright. This is not the only savagely crazy thing to go down in the camp, however. One wonders what treatment her younger brother has to look forward to, despite her insistence that she loves him. As she hacks at his head with a dagger, we are horrified, Floki is amused, and Ragnar seems only a little satisfied to finally have some understanding of the woman he has promised to fight for. Her uncle sexually abused her starting at age six and invited his men (including her eldest brother) to do so as well. We can hardly blame her as she finally reveals not only the reason for that desire but also for her consistently bizarre behavior. The first to be freed from its trunk is the head of the fallen Brihtwulf, when his niece demands it of Ragnar. If Harbard is this same person, Floki would be correct in his belief that he is Odin in disguise.Ragnar and his men (and women) are giving their weary limbs a rest-those limbs (and other body parts) that are not being removed, that is.

In The Lay of Harbardr (The HГЎrbarГ°sljГіГ°), a poem in the Poetic Edda, Thor encounters a ferryman named Harbard, who is really Odin in disguise, and enters a flyting contest, which is a contest of insults, with him.

He peacefully tells her not to try to possess or control him before vanishing once again.ДЇloki believes Harbard is Odin, despite him having both of his eyes, which Odin does not. Harbard appears to speak with her, despite her anger and jealousy. When Aslaug, who already had suspicions about Harbard's behavior, discovers this, she becomes enraged and destroys everything in the Great Hall. Sigurd discovers that Harbard is sleeping with most of the women in Kattegat. Later, when Harbard presents himself as a husband to Aslaug, Ivar starts to become disturbed. He explains to her that he has 'heard her calls beyond oceans and has come to answer them.' He asks to see Ivar, and when Aslaug asks the boy if he remembers Harbard, Ivar just laughs.

Harbard returns to Kattegat while the men are once again raiding, and is first seen at the door of the Great Hall while Aslaug is full of desperation and solitude. Helga watches Harbard's departure from Kattegat as he vanishes into the fog, further suggesting he is indeed a supernatural being. After Siggy's death, Aslaug and Helga both become markedly colder towards him.

Although it is implied he is letting her reunite with her dead family. Harbard lets Siggy drown when he could have easily saved her. Harbard is received with suspicion by Siggy. He then has sex with Aslaug, though she is reluctant to do so. He is well-received by Aslaug and Helga, especially after being able to cure baby Ivar's pain. He presents himself as a wanderer and a storyteller. Helga meets him first when he asks for help with a wound on his hand. In their dream, Harbard is seen holding a ball of snow that is on fire while his hand is bleeding. Harbard's arrival in Kattegat comes after the leading women left in Kattegat all share a repeated dream of a man that seems to be him.
