In episode 4 of Spartacus: Blood and Sand season 1, titled "The Thing In The Pit," Spartacus is forced to fight in the pits of the ludus. As he prepares to enter the pit, he catches the eye of Varro, a fellow gladiator who has become a friend. Varro offers to fight in his place, but Spartacus declines, determined to win his way back to his wife.

Meanwhile, Lucretia and Batiatus, the owners of the ludus, are desperate to regain their high standing in society after a recent scandal involving their former champion, Crixus. They hope that Spartacus can secure their position with a victory in the pits.

As Spartacus battles his opponents in the pit, he is confronted by a vicious new challenger known only as "The Shadow of Death." This opponent proves to be more dangerous than any Spartacus has faced before, and he struggles to remain alive.

Back at the ludus, Lucretia manipulates Ilithyia, a powerful and conniving Roman noblewoman, into backing Spartacus in the hopes of gaining favor with her husband. However, Ilithyia has her own agenda and is more interested in using Spartacus for her own ends.

As the episode progresses, we see the various machinations of the characters at play, all vying for power and control. The fight in the pits serves as a backdrop to these complex and often brutal power struggles, adding to the tension and drama of the episode.

Overall, "The Thing In The Pit" is a tense and action-packed episode that explores the depths of the human psyche and the lengths to which people will go to gain power and control.
