Secret Invasion Episode 5: Release date and time, what to expect, and more

The much-awaited Secret Invasion episode 5 will release on Wednesday, July 19, 2023, at 12 am PT on Disney+. The episode's title is not yet revealed but is expected to be 40-50 minutes long since it sets up the big finale event.

In Episode 4, titled Beloved, we witnessed how G’iah managed to survive, just as it had been suggested by the promotional material. However, many viewers had caught on to James Rhodes’ Skrull mannerisms, and he was finally revealed as a Skrull imposter who worked for Gravik.

He led an attack on President Ritson by rebel Skrulls posing as Russians. Since Fury had also caught on to Rhodes Skrull's mannerisms, he put a tracker in him and managed to save the POTUS. However, he was unable to do the same for his best friend Talos, as Gravik murdered him in cold blood, right in front of Fury’s eyes.

Now all eyes are on Secret Invasion episode 5, where we expect to see G’iah team up with Priscilla and Nick Fury to find some aid from Sonya Falsworth after telling President Ritson the truth about Rhodey and Gravik’s Skrull rebellion.

What can be expected from Secret Invasion Episode 5?

With the Skrulls attacking the US President’s convoy posing as Russians, tensions between Russia and the US will be at an all-time high. The nations will be on the brink of war, and that could ultimately lead to World War III. However, Fury still has an ace up his sleeve, as he managed to save the President.

How he explains to Ritson about the secret Skrull invasion still stands as a mystery. But it will be upon him to convince the President not to retaliate against Russia, as the attack was orchestrated by Skrulls with Gravik and Rhodey in the lead.

Meanwhile, Gravik is expected to go after Priscilla, who was seen with G’iah in the trailers. Hence, those two could team up, and Fury is also expected to team up with Sonya, just as the trailers have suggested.
