Giulia Farnese and Rodrigo pay mortuaries a visit in the dark of the night. Cardinal Ascanio Sforza tells Rodrigo that he has ordered the searching of mortuaries, as he doesn’t want to rule out any possibilities.

He proceeds to identify it, but it's not Juan's. Rodrigo is informed that a body has been found. Lucrezia then in front of the whole court and much to Rodrigo's surprise immediately agrees to marry Alfonso. Later, Alfonso is shocked when he sees Lucrezia's name being announced and sees her walk into Rodrigo's court. Rodrigo meanwhile tells Lucrezia to not dismiss Alfonso without meeting him. He doesn’t care about prestige, he is looking for love, and this wins over Lucrezia, who kisses him. They both flirt with each other until Alfonso tells her to lie to Lucrezia that he is inept and to come with him. Alfonso does not recognize her so she grasps the opportunity to have a little fun with him, pretending to be her own intermediary.

In the hallway of the papal suites Lucrezia encounters her latest suitor, Alfonso of Aragona. In the dungeons, Cesare, tired of Savonarola's obstinacy, signs the confession in his name Micheletto then pries out the friar’s tongue, so he can reveal to no one about Cesare's deceit. Machiavelli states what he thinks to be obvious: if Rome needs that confession, then give it to them. Cesare knows that a confession is needed to recant all that was preached but Savonarola has proven stronger than he thought over the lengthy torture. That afternoon, Niccolo Machiavelli is a guest of Cesare’s and they discuss the difficulty of extracting a confession from the rebel. At Castel Sant'Angelo, Micheletto is trying to get a confession of heresy, but Savonarola says he will only confess to Cesare.

The episode begins with Girolamo Savonarola being tortured, while Rodrigo demands of Cesare either a confession from the friar or his brother Juan. In the Season 2 finale, tragic news for the Borgia family is followed by a shocking revelation from Cesare Lucrezia surprises herself by falling for a new suitor, Alfonso of Aragon, and accepts his proposal of marriage Cesare tortures the rebel leader Savonarola but can't extract a confession, so he fakes one and burns the heretic the assassin finally strikes with a poisoned chalice of wine.
