In Vinland Saga Season 2 Episode 6, viewers got a deeper look into how things work on Ketil’s farm. While there’s often turmoil between the workers, Ketil (voiced by Hideaki Tezuka) and his father are often much more helpful and understanding regarding the enslaved people, despite not seeing eye to eye. After months of hard work and obstacles, Thorfinn (Yuto Uemura) and Einar (Shunsuke Takeuchi) are finally ready to plant seeds for the first time.
- After struggling to remove a stump from the ground, Thorfinn suggests trying a different method. Knowing the job would be much easier with a horse, Einar decides to try borrowing one but is once again rejected.
- Einar considers asking Ketil for a horse directly, but Thorfinn thinks that will only upset the other farmhands more. He yells at Thorfinn, wondering why he is so unmotivated, especially knowing this is how they will buy their freedom.
- Hearing them argue, an older man named Sverkel calls them over. He offers to let them borrow a horse in exchange for help with his chores.
- After being accused of stealing by the farmhands, Einar explains that an older man named Sverkel lent the horse to them. The farmhands realize he is referring to the “old master.”
- They say there is no way he could’ve lent them a horse, as the “old master” is Ketil’s father and very important.
- Einar can teach Thorfinn the basics of farming with a borrowed horse and plow.
- While searching for the washbasin at Sverkel’s, Thorfinn and Einar discover Snake sleeping in the back.
- The group enjoys a meal together, with Snake and Sverkel chastising one another the entire time.
- Snake explains that he does not have nearly enough subordinates to deal with the number of thieves they get.
- Sverkel says with the amount of food Ketil sends the king every year; the king is obligated to protect them.
- Some time passes, and we see Thorfinn and Einar’s field has grown.
- As they begin to plant seeds, Einar slips up, calling Thorfinn his friend, but Thorfinn tells him it’s OK, as they are friends.

Predictions
We returned to Thorfinn and Einar’s story this week and learned quite a bit in this episode about the farm. Although there wasn’t much in the way of action, it was clear this episode was setting up some future storylines while progressing time forward. With that in mind, let’s see if we can predict what will happen next.
- They’ve planted seeds; Thorfinn and Einar will have to see if they grow. Considering this is their first time planting on this land, they may have problems with their first batch of crops.
- Snake mentioned not having enough men to protect the farm from thieves. I could see that becoming a problem as Ketil’s farm grows larger and harder to defend. I would be surprised if we saw an increase in thefts next week.
