- Rodrigo's children insist that their mother be invited to Lucrezia's arranged political marriage to a Sforza, but the Pope resists.
- Rodrigo betroths his daughter Lucrezia to Giovanni Sforza. In order not to bring a perception of disrepute to his daughter's lineage, he forbids the girl's mother from attending the wedding, much to the chagrin of both Lucrezia and Cesare. Cardinal Della Rovere courts Napolese and French authorities, promising to fulfill France's claim to Naples if he gets their aid in deposing Pope Alexander VI. The wedding proceeds as planned, without Vannozza. After the ceremony, however, Cesare brings her to the reception, to the shock of many of the guests. It quickly causes the marriage to go sour. The following night, Lucrezia is brought to Giovanni's home.—Anonymous
- The Pope arranges for his daughter Lucrezia to marry but tells the girl's mother Vanozza that she cannot attend. Lucrezia is heartbroken over the death of her close friend Djem and refuses to accept that her mother cannot attend. Cesare decides to do something about it. Lucrezia is betrothed to Giovanni Sforza and the wedding feast turns into a drunken bacchanalia. Her wedding night is not what she expected or hoped for. In Florence, Cardinal Della Rovere continues to develop allies in his opposition to the Borgia Pope. If his plan to have a French army invade and depose the Pope is to go ahead, the Medicis will have to let them pass through their territory.

- After spotting and killing Cesare's spy in a confessional, cardinal Della Rovere is ready to risk an Italian war to chase the Borgias and travels to Naples, biding for the support of its deaf, disabled king or rather his slightly less sadistic son. Michelotto is sent to kill him, but fails and barely escapes alive. Realizing he needs strategic allies, Rodrigo considers suitors to marry Lucrezia to without an excessive dowry and decides of junior Sforza prince Giovanni, of brute who takes her home to his castle in Romagna. At the wedding, Cesare brings his mother, banned from the mass, to the grand feast, still causing a society scandal, unlike the gross play Juan based on Plautus.—KGF Vissers
