Girolamo Savonarola stubbornly stands torture, likely to die without confession, so Cesar ends up faking one to send him to the pyre with his tongue ripped out. Posing as a mere confident in waiting, Lucrezia tests charming, pristine Aragonese prince Alfonso's true infatuation for her charms and agrees to marry him. As the pope's anxiety over Juan's disappearance only grow, Cesare lets the Tiber-washed up corpse be found. Even mistress Farnese can't maintain never having regretted the rebel having been born. Cesare strikes a deal to get absolution and, crucially, release from the clergy to divulge what happened. Giuliano Della Rovere's angel of death started to despair but gets his chance to die with the pope.
