Friends and Heroes (2007)

Episode Overview

Leah takes Macky’s horse for a spin without permission and swiftly outpaces Caius, a spoiled Roman boy eager to restore his pride through a race. Rebecca, Leah’s older sister, is furious at her disobedience, but Macky shares the tale of Joseph and his Brothers, prompting Rebecca to realize that sibling forgiveness is more important than punishment. As Leah prepares to confront Caius and his wager, Rebecca devises a plan to thwart the Roman boy and his cronies from cheating. Meanwhile, Portia secretly rallies support among Roman elites to assist Leah. Together, they outsmart Caius and Brutacus, but Leah had hoped to make Caius pay his debts after winning. Rebecca then recounts the story of Simon Magus, teaching Leah that true power isn’t bought, and she finally grasps her sister's lesson.
