Really, he has the same wet dreams we all do. You know: shackled on your back, visited by your wife, suddenly compelled to have sex, etc. Yeah, it's pretty hot up until she spews blood from her mouth.
What is a Thracian to do? His captors give him a haircut (it looks good!), but he's just so upset about losing his wife. Poor Spartacus, stuck learning to be a gladiator, having the same damn dream every night. Well, sometimes it's different. Sometimes she spews sand from her mouth. (Zing!)
FYI, this wasn't the only sex scene in the episode. We were also treated to the legendary Lucy Lawless scene, and we must say, it's even hotter in context.
