Galadriel consumed by fire | The Lord Of The Rings

The Lord Of The Rings | Season 1 Episode 06
As Galadriel brushes against the same darkness within Adar interrogating him, Miriel dutifully leads Bronwyn and the Southlanders in hailing the arrival of their fated king. Meanwhile, Theo-attempting to grapple with his own guilt about almost dooming them all to save his mother-discovers that the mysterious blade Arondir thought he was hiding is nothing but a hammer: somehow, Waldreg, the sauronic servant that had tempted Theo with darkness before joining up with Adar, had managed to swipe the blade away in the chaos of the battle... and returns to Ostirith to use it to unlock a key hidden in a fountain dedicated to the dark lords of Melkor and Sauron.
Then everything goes to hell. Again. In Rings of Power’s wildest scene yet, gushing waters being held up by the dams around Ostirith begin plunging into the Southlands. At first, you think it’s one last gasp of spite, that Waldreg’s actions will drown the Númenoreans and his fellow villagers. But instead the water flows, down through the tunnels Adar has had his orcs and prisoners build, into the earth itself... until it channels into the lava beneath a mountain. A mountain that then explodes, sending ash and lava and debris everywhere, decimating the village and the people in it. Theo’s missing, Adar’s vanished, Galadriel is consumed by smoke: and we’ve just witnessed the very birth of Mount Doom itself.
