Episode 3, titled Brothers, throws Harold into turmoil as he risks everything to rescue Edith, who has been taken as a prisoner during the scuffle with Mercians. A storm blocks his way. Sweyn and Tostig lend him support, while Count Baldwin of Flanders lends boats. Harold's return to Wessex is bloody, with Sweyn defying his orders and charging into chaos.

Upon his arrival, Harold comes to know that Edith has been sent to London upon Lady Emma's orders. Turns out, Earl Morcar, weary of Emma's tyranny, is ready to strike a deal with Harold in return for half of the royal treasury. He also received the support of Earl Siward of Northumbria. On the other hand, William faces Henry's threats and begins plotting rebellion, turning Baldwin into a pawn.
