Servilia Caepionis (mother of Brutus of "Et, tu Brute" fame)is delightfully nasty, a classical Madame Bovary.
Aurelia is as withdrawn as ever, and Caesar's beloved daughter Julia is used to remind us that no matter how much a father loved his daughter, she was simply a pawn furthering his political future (although her fate was better than the average pawn's).
Servilia gets everything she wants through murder and hatred while my favorite character--Marcus Porcius Cato--gets eternal enmity for actually kind of doing the right thing.

From this marriage, Servilia had only one child: Brutus, one of Caesar's assassins.

Caesar passed him the note, which, embarrassingly, turned out to be a love letter from Cato's half-sister Servilia.

In spite of having close connections to Julius Caesar (Caesar had an affair with Servilia and some believed him to be Brutus's father) and ample reason to hate Pompey the Great, his father's murderer, Brutus chose to side with Pompey in the civil war between Caesar's forces and those of Pompey; it began in 49.

Why did we see so much female nudity and basically no male?
There's no documentation of Servilia Caepionis being a priestess, but it is quite possible that she is simply "standing up with" Atia, much as a maid of honor does in a wedding.
