Ben and the gang must smuggle those who helped them free Tacticus out of Rome. But their fear of betrayal by Antonius, the miller, leads Ben to tell the stories of Judas and the Last Supper. Helena, meanwhile, relates the story of Mary Magdalene anointing the head of Jesus with perfume. When the Romans threaten to burn down Ben's bakery, with Anna and the boys still inside, the stage is set for an exciting—and surprising--climax!
