The episode opens with the Spartacus/Crixus fight and flashes back to the events of the previous few days: Batiatus preparing to free Doctore and put him in charge of the ludus, restoring Doctore's own name of Oenemaus Spartacus trying to make preparations for his rebellion, including getting Mira to open the gate at the appropriate time Lucretia using her power over Ilythia to force her frenemy into making a big speech at Batiatus's celebration, for which Ilythia is expected to wrangle powerful guests. To complicate matters, Batiatus plans to celebrate his good fortune with a private battle between Crixus and Spartacus.
Quick recap: As Batiatus relishes his acquisition of Glaber's patronage for the rank of Aedile, Spartacus plots rebellion and struggles in vain to forge an alliance of his own with Crixus, who hopes to regain the good graces of his master, attain freedom, and find Naevia. It's not quite as strong in conceptual WTFery than some of the other episodes this season (I think "Whore" and "Thing in the Pit" still reign as the champions of "OH GOD DID THEY REALLY JUST DO THAT?!"), but "Kill Them All" has some good WTF moments and catharsis aplenty, with a number of intriguing character hooks for next year. The twelve hours of mayhem that went before culminate in a whale of a bloodbath, with lots of strong moments and gore aplenty. Episode thirteen of SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND is called "Kill Them All," and what you see is absolutely what you get.
