Rodrigo meanwhile tells Lucrezia to not dismiss Alfonso without meeting him. He doesn't care about prestige, he is looking for love, and this wins over Lucrezia, who kisses him.
They both flirt with each other until Alfonso tells her to lie to Lucrezia that he is inept and to come with him. Alfonso does not recognize her so she grasps the opportunity to have a little fun with him, pretending to be Lucrezia's intermediary. In the hallway of the papal suites Lucrezia ( Holliday Grainger) encounters her latest suitor, Alfonso d’Aragona ( Sebastian de Souza). In the dungeons, Cesare, tired of Savonarola's obstinacy, signs the confession in his name Micheletto then pries out the friar's tongue, so he can reveal to no one about Cesare's deceit. Machiavelli states what he thinks to be obvious: if Rome needs that confession, then give it to them. Cesare ( François Arnaud) knows that a confession is needed to recant all that was preached but Savonarola has proven stronger than he thought over the lengthy torture. That afternoon, Machiavelli ( Julian Bleach) is a guest of Cesare's and they discuss the difficulty of extracting a confession from the rebel. At Castel Sant'Angelo, Micheletto ( Sean Harris) is trying to get a confession of heresy, but Savonarola says he will only confess to Cesare. The episode begins with Savonarola ( Steven Berkoff) being tortured, while Rodrigo ( Jeremy Irons) demands of Cesare either a confession from the friar or his brother Juan. Cesare admits his guilt to the Pope, who releases him from his cardinal's vows, but when Cesare asks for his father's forgiveness, the Pope is poisoned by Cardinal Della Rovere's assassin, leaving the season with a cliff-hanger. While Lucrezia chooses to marry Alfonso d'Aragona, Girolamo Savonarola is burned at the stake with a fake confession of heresy. The episode deals with the grief of the Pope for Juan, killed by Cesare for shaming the Borgia name. It was written by Guy Burt and directed by David Leland. " The Confession" is the final episode of the second season of Showtime- Bravo! historical drama The Borgias.
