In the fifth episode of Vikings, titled "Raid," the Vikings gear up for their first raid on England. Ragnar, his brother Rollo, and a group of warriors set sail in their longship for Lindisfarne, an area known for its monastery and riches. As they approach the shore, they encounter some resistance from the English but quickly overpower them and begin their raid.

Meanwhile, Lagertha and Athelstan stay behind in Kattegat. Lagertha is left to defend their village from potential attacks while Athelstan continues to help Ragnar understand the English language and culture. Through their conversations and interactions, it becomes apparent that Athelstan's loyalty may be shifting from his former ways to the Vikings' way of life.

Back in England, the Vikings continue their raid and are met with more resistance from the English soldiers. The Vikings are determined to get their share of the treasure that lies within the monastery, and they are willing to fight for it. However, they soon realize that their triumphs may be short-lived when the English king's army arrives to defend the area.

The Vikings are forced to retreat, and they make their way back to their longship, but not before losing some of their men. The raid was not as successful as they had hoped, but it was a valuable learning experience for Ragnar and his warriors. As they sail back to Kattegat, they discuss their next move and strategize for future raids.

At the same time, back in Kattegat, Lagertha faces her own challenges as she fights off attackers who are hoping to take advantage of the Vikings' absence. She proves herself to be a formidable warrior and earns the respect of her fellow villagers.

Overall, the episode "Raid" emphasizes the fierce and brutal nature of Viking raids, but also explores the themes of loyalty, identity, and cultural differences. The characters are faced with difficult decisions and learn from their experiences, setting the stage for upcoming conflicts and developments in the series.
