Bjorn returns to Kattegat; Harald gains a measure of revenge on Olaf; in Kiev, interesting news reaches Ivar and Igor about Prince Dir.
My read is that it's all stylistic reasons. A while back they also appropriated some Japanese imagery (the pavilion of flags), so maybe there's a little bit of seppuku in there.
Animal sacrifice was mostly throat slitting, but probably for practical reasons. I've also heard of piercing the aorta by thrusting a blade down through the clavicle space.
Can't tell for sure here, but if the knife pierced the diaphragm that probably ends up causing blacking out before blood loss was critical, but an unpleasant way to get there.
