The Rings of Power Season 2: What has happened so far?
The first three episodes of The Rings of Power season 2 follow the crafty schemes of Sauron as he is bent on achieving his goal of ruling Middle-Earth. In the first episode, he tries to enlist the help of the orcs. The attempt proves disastrous.
However, as episode 2 shows, Sauron makes good progress thanks to his ability to take on disguises at will, his manipulative nature, and shrewd tactics. By the end of episode 3, he eagerly watches on as Celebrimbor makes more rings.
Also, episode 3 of season 2 takes the stories of several other characters forward. For instance, it is found out that Isildur is alive, and together with a new friend, Arondir, he sets out for Pelargir. Elsewhere, Miriel faces hostilities from the subjects, which results in Pharozan taking over power.
