Hvitserk may surprisingly have an option, which could mean the return of a sorely missed character in the future.
Meanwhile, Floki and Flatnose discuss the reasons for trouble with the new community. Just why is one person trying to ruin it all? Back in Wessex, King Aethelwulf assesses his options to protect England. Here’s a look at the things to watch out for in Vikings Season 5, Episode 9, “A Simple Story.”

Hvitserk finally have a bright idea
Honestly, Hvitserk has been a bit of a loose end in Season 5. After deciding to side with younger brother Ivar, he’s been put down and ignored on multiple occasions. Yet, he’s stuck with Ivar and Harald throughout.
Finally, he gets a bright idea. Could this idea help the side gain the warriors they need to defeat Lagertha and take Kattegat?
Ubbe be honest about his feelings
Ubbe and Margerthe just don’t work. She is ambitious, where he has a tendency to sit back and wait for things to happen. He’s all talk and no action.
Well, that is until now. He’s finally honest about his feelings for his wife and his sister-in-law. Just where will this lead?
Margrethe continues to show her true colors
Don’t miss the quick glimpse into Kattegat during the episode. Margerthe may be more than just ambitious. Watch out for the powers that she may hold. Is this woman more like Aslaug than Lagertha and Ubbe would like?
Heahmund finally makes a decision
When he joined Ivar’s side, Heahmund never made an official commitment. He talked about killing Vikings. However, things are changing now that Lagertha has saved him. If you haven’t caught the sneak peek for the episode yet, you’ll want to. It gives a few insights into the decision Heahmund is finally going to make and how it all comes about.
A change to come in Wessex
Things have been stale in Wessex. It’s been focused on Aethelwulf running from the Vikings but finally accepting that it’s time to go home. The Whitten takes place and he has news about the Viking attacks around the country. A change has to come from somewhere, but just how will that change come about? You’ll find out by the end of the episode.
Floki figures out the wants of his people
It’s not been easy for Floki’s settlement. While many are on his side, there is a group of nay-sayers. Both Flatnose and Floki know that it’s because the group want their own leader to become king, but just how are they going to make that happen? Floki understands but will he stop it before it can happen?
