With the stakes now higher than ever and secrets about to be revealed, it feels like anything could happen.

Without further delay, let’s look at everything you need to know before Rings of Power Season 2, Episode 7.

What Happened in ‘Rings of Power’ Season 2, Episode 6?
As Rings of Power Season 2 approaches its climax, the many storylines shown so far start to come together. This makes for a more cohesive viewing experience, as Episode 6, titled “Where is He?” proves to be one of the best episodes of Season 2. With tensions at an all-time high across the realm, Episode 6 follows three intriguing plot lines that are likely leading to a dramatic finale.
First, what began as the forging of the Three has now turned into the creation of the Nine. Celebrimbor shows signs of mental strain as he loses his temper and struggles to remember Mirdania’s (played by Amelia Kenworthy) name.
In another storyline, Adar (played by Sam Hazeldine) and Galadriel’s (played by Morfydd Clark) unlikely partnership shifts between potential power plays. The uncertainty about their intentions adds tension to every scene.
In a pivotal dinner scene, Galadriel finally sees what Adar has kept hidden: Morgoth’s crown. This crown, once a failed device meant to defeat Sauron, needs her input and the power of the three Elven rings to finish Sauron once and for all.
After some time away, viewers see a return of the Stranger (played by Daniel Weyman). In a meditation session with Tom Bombadil (played by Rory Kinnear), a vision shows Nori (played by Markella Kavenagh) and Poppy (played by Megan Richards) in danger.
Tom tells the Stranger that the Secret Fire can help push back the darkness. This moment almost confirms one of the season’s biggest mysteries: the Stranger’s identity. With every character’s journey feeling more important, we will see if the major twists will pay off. Season 2, Episode 7 promises to be unforgettable.
What is ‘Rings of Power’ Season 2, Episode 7 About?
Unlike other episodes in Season 2, Episode 6 ended with a sneak peek of Episode 7 in a mini-promo that is available via the episode on Prime Video. The teaser hints that Celebrimbor, as he begins to lose his mind, is told by Sauron that he will spare his city if he finishes the Nine.
This suggests that Sauron’s true identity has been found out. His transformation into a full-fledged Dark Lord sets the stage for impactful and exciting final episodes.
Additionally, it is expected that other plot points will continue to tie up, and Episode 7 may finally confirm the identity of the Stranger. As the second-to-last episode of the season, the stakes will reach their highest point. All seems lost, paving the way for a shocking final episode that should bring closure to the season.
