Synopsis
After having a dream involving his homeland and father, Thorfinn meets Askeladd on top of a hill and the two talk.

Differences from the manga

 * This episode features anime original content depicting Thorkell breaking the siege of London and kidnapping Canute and expanded characterization for Asgeir.
 * In the manga Thorfinn leaves the barn after waking up from his nightmare because some of Askeladd's men dragged an English girl into it to rape her. This is removed in the anime and Thorfinn leaves the barn because the band is being too loud for him to fall back to sleep.

Trivia

 * This episode was originally meant to air on September 8, 2019, but it was delayed to September 15, 2019, due to TV coverage of a typhoon affecting Japan.
