Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
Vikings headed into its Season 4 endgame (well, "4A" as 10 more will air later this year) with a somewhat jumbled episode that worked to direct Ragnar toward Rollo for one final conflict. Brother vs. Brother: Round 2, all set for next week's (midpoint) finale. With Ragnar himself even admitting to Bjorn that he didn't even care about Paris anymore - just revenge against Rollo for his betrayal.
Speaking of revenge, Erlendur decided that now was the perfect time to strike out against Bjorn. Choosing to use Torvi as his weapon of vengeance was a nice touch, as Erlendur is nothing if not skittish and cowardly, but when Torvi turned and used the crossbow on Erlendur it just made me realize how she basically held the answer to all her problems for almost an entire season. Just kill Erlendur. Granted, it was a cool moment, and Bjorn placing the ring on top of the bolt in Erlendur's chest was a nice touch, but it also highlighted the fact that this problem could have been solved much sooner.
