Newly appointed Cardinal Farnese is placed in the Treasury and quickly discovers Versucci’s theft. Micheletto is sent to find the wayward Cardinal. Meanwhile, upon hearing of Venice’s request for help against Turkish pirates, Alexander, seeing this as an opportunity to replenish the coffers, dramatically calls for a Crusade. Concerned about the loyalty of his new Cardinals, Giulia arranges a trap for them – the “banquet of chestnuts”. At the feast details of the Cardinals’ sexual activities with prostitutes dressed as nuns are recorded to extort their future loyalty. Elsewhere, King Ferdinand learns that Lucrezia and Alfonso’s marriage has not been consummated and demands a witnessed display of their consummation from both members of the family. Lucrezia is humiliated, but goes through with it as King Ferdinand and Cesare watch.
