The Rings of Power season 2is almost at an end – and a new trailer for the finale teases an action-packed, explosive episode.

It also confirms the fate of Arondir, who is on the brink of death following a showdown withAdarinThe Rings of Power season 2, episode 7.

In the clip, which is streaming on Prime Video and which you can watch below, we see Arondir alive and well and continuing the fight in Eregion. We also see Poppy and Nori in peril with theDark Wizardandthe Stranger, whileSauronreclaims his crown and battles Galadriel. In short, it looks like an unmissable episode.

The Rings of Power season 2, episode 7 was absolutely massive, with theSiege of Eregionin full swing. One major talking point from the episode, though, was thatsurprise kiss between Elrond and Galadriel. While it allowed Elrond to slip Galadriel his cloak pin, which she used to escape the orcs, it is alittlebit strange considering Galadriel is his future mother-in-law.

“It’s a shocking thing to do in that tent, in that moment,“Elrond actor Robert Aramayo told us of the kiss. I think it’s a smart tactic on Elrond’s part, you know? I understand –obviously– given the lore and what we know about Elrond and Galadriel’s future… I understand the controversy that may ensue.”

The Rings of Power season 2 finale will stream this Thursday, October 3. In the meantime, you can check out ourRings of Power season 2 release schedulefor the exact release time, or see ourRings of Power season 2 reviewfor our spoiler-free verdict on all eight episodes.
