After the disastrous fleece fair, it’s time for the people of Kingsbridge to pick up the pieces and attempt to move forward. Unfortunately, that means a very tough decision for Aliena. Below is Starz’s description for the episode and further down is a trailer and some clips.

Richard returns from war to find his sister penniless, with no more money to support his knighthood. Alfred offers himself to Prior Philip as master-builder. Aliena has to choose between her love for Jack and her oath to her father. Regan forces Waleran to speak to the King about William’s long-delayed Earldom. A disaster at Kingsbridge becomes a way for Waleran to remove Prior Philip from his position.

Regan is slippery but is she capable of committing a murder with her own hands? Will Aliena go through with the engagement? And is Alfred capable of finishing his father's work? If you read the book, you already know the answers to these questions. The rest will have to wait and see!

The Pillars of the Earth airs Friday nights at 10:00 p.m. ET on Starz.
