The preview for Episode 18 of Vinland Saga Season 2 titled “The First Method” showed both Einar and Thorfinn tied up, so things aren’t looking good for them. In addition, Ketil will go back to his farm in this episode.
Thorfinn and Snake picked up right where they left off in the previous episode, and they began exchanging blows, discovering that they are equally powerful. Both Thorfinn and Snake were perplexed as to why someone with Snake’s skills would be working on a farm of this nature as a slave.
Both Thorfinn and Snake were fighting hard, but in the end, it was Snake who prevailed when he closed the distance, got close to Gardar, and stabbed him with his sword. When Gardar awoke, he choked Snake, knocking him out and likely killing him. After that, Arnheid and Gardar rode off, and Gardar eventually collapsed and died on the cart.

They acknowledged one another and considered how they had arrived at this point. After a brief struggle, Snake managed to outwit Thorfinn and make his way to the cart where Gardar was hiding. After the man on the cart killed his five men, Snake argued with Arnheid and Thorfinn about what he should do.
The old master intervened, promising to give Snake some land if he would just stop bothering him. Then he gave Gardar a light stab wound in the chest. Everything went wrong when Gardar woke up and choked Snake from behind, leaving him in critical condition. After that, Arnheid and Gardar rode off in their cart.
Arnheid knew Gardar would not make it through the injuries, but she still decided to leave with him, telling him that their son was at his brother’s house when in fact he had been kidnapped by the attackers. As they departed, Gardar fought off the memories of his time as a slave and his horrific treatment because of his decision to fight for money. Then, in a dream, he saw his son again after five years apart.
When their son Hjalti was born, he and his wife were overjoyed to become a family of three. He then spoke with Arnheid before passing away on the cart they had used to flee the farm, surrounded by protesters on all sides. The episode hit a lot of emotional notes, highlighting how trivial things can weigh a person down.
