There are so many individual stories in this week’s episode that it’s hard to believe there are only two more left. How will all these narratives merge into one? One thing we do know is the four storylines (which will intertwine eventually) all share the same theme: listen to women.

The Rings of Power season 2, episode 6 marks a turning point for several characters in Middle-earth. Celebrimbor, most obviously, is still at the mercy of Annatar, but the latest entry in the Prime Video series also turns the screw for the likes of Elendil in Numenor and Prince Durin in Khazad-Dum.
