What will likely happen in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 Episode 8
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 Episode 8 will not be an easy watch. It has plenty of storylines coming to an end, so it’s expected to be intensely absorbing.
Fans are eager to see how the conflict between Galadriel and Adar will play out, whether Galadriel will finally recover the ring, and whether she can stop the dark forces spreading across Middle-earth. With a build-up towards the finale throughout the season, this will be an epic showdown, at the least.
Many are also wondering about the fate of Celebrimbor. With Sauron’s disguise off, we finally know that Annatar is him. What could determine the future of the Rings of Power is Celebrimbor’s stand against him. It will be interesting to see the events unfold as we witness either Celebrimbor resisting Sauron’s influence or him falling under the Dark Lord's control.
Even the Elves seem to be in a dire situation. Galadriel is on the run, leaving them vulnerable, and they are now losing ground against the Orcs. In Episode 8, we will likely see how the Elves will figure out how to survive or if Sauron’s forces will crush them. Some also hope for a dramatic return of the Dwarves, who have been absent for most of the season. It will be interesting if they contribute to the final battle.
The Stranger's identity is still under wraps. Fans have been speculating about his real identity all season. The showrunners have, however, promised a huge reveal in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 Episode 8.
Fans should also expect some heartbreaking scenes because the showrunners have teased something in a behind-the-scenes featurette. According to them, episode 7 was all about epic battles and intense character moments, so episode 8 will be more emotional.
Also, the show's director, Charlotte Brändström, recently talked about a potential season 3 coming soon to our screens. So, there’s a good chance we’ll be seeing more of Middle-earth in the near future.
All in all, Episode 8 is set to bring a dramatic end to The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 while also opening up new storylines for Season 3.
