'Vikings' season 5B: Bjorn Ironside is adorably in love with Gunnhild but it's a dangerous gamble

Bjorn Ironside confessed his love for the shieldmaiden, Gunnhild, in the recent episode and as much as it made us gush, it also made us worried

Ragnar Lothbrok's (Travis Fimmel) sons took the center stage for season 5 since the sole protagonist of the series died in season 4. The leads taken up by Ragnar's "many sons" this season had redemption etched in their plotline and no one warned us. Here is Ivar the Boneless (Alex Høgh Andersen) in Kattegat, sitting on the throne which he believes rightfully belonged to his mother, Aslaug (Alyssa Sutherland).

Ubbe (Jordan Patrick Smith) and Torvi (Georgia Hirst) are in Wessex, baptized as Christians, and with the former set to lead King Alfred's Saxon army against the Danes. Hvitserk (Marco Ilsø) finally leaves Kattegat after Ivar's threat, but he's found his peace in the preachings of the Lord Buddha. In the latest episode titled 'The Most Terrible Thing,' we see Bjorn Ironsides' (Alexander Ludwig) redemption in love.
