Episode 7 recap
Spoilers for this episode follow.
Galadriel and Theo cross the scorched land looking for survivors. Míriel loses her sight and Elendil believes Isildur is dead, while an injured Halbrand needs help beyond what the camp can provide. In Khazad-dûm, Durin III forbids mining further for mithril. Durin IV defies him after seeing the ore revive a leaf, and is stripped of his position. The Harfoots drive the Stranger away, then decide to warn him about the figures pursuing him.
Ending explained
Galadriel takes Halbrand to the Elves for treatment. Deep underground a Balrog is revealed, while the land ruined by the eruption is identified as Mordor. Both disasters outlast the episode’s immediate search for survivors.
