For those who have been eagerly following the series, this episode brings forth many thrilling moments and raises the stakes even further.

By now, fans of The Rings of Power are aware of the numerous attempts Annatar has made to manipulate the inhabitants of Middle-earth.

The relationships Annatar has carefully woven around the cities of Men and Elves are starting to take shape, as can be seen in the connections between the master craftspeople he has commissioned. There's both a unity and chaos brewing amongst these groups, fueled by Annatar's enchanting presence and creations.

Without knowledge of their master Annatar's real agenda and motives, they come up with self-destructive plans completely falling into his hands. This interplay of intentions could show the grim future awaiting for south lands of Rhun and Rhovanion, resulting to massive trouble as dark ages awaits.
