Liv reads Book XV of Homer's Odyssey, translated into prose by Samuel Butler. Telemachus leaves Sparta for Ithaca, and Odysseus chats some more with Eumaeus, the swineherd (who's got QUITE the life story).

This is not a standard narrative story episode, it's simply a bonus reading of Homer. For regular episodes look for any that don't have "Liv Reads..." in the title!
