Caesar is starting to show his true colors. Seemingly honorable and evenhanded, he indirectly hires Titus to assassinate an enemy of his, ultimately forcing Lucius to save Titus from certain death in the Arena. I doubt Lucius will be able to go back to being a magistrate after his public display of affection for his friend, but anything can happen in Rome.
Things are also moving forward on the Brutus front. When graffiti depicting Brutus betraying Caesar appears throughout Rome, Caesar asks him to leave the city for a year to govern Macedonia. Brutus is insulted and vows to help Cassius do what is needed to remove Caesar from power. Anyone who paid attention in their high school English classes knows where this is heading.
