This episode of the Beacons Are Lit covers season 1 episode 8 of the Rings of Power titled “Alloyed.” The Sauron / Stranger guessing game is mostly at an end and, in the words of Dennis Green, “They are who we thought they were” … for the most part. Earion likes to do drorings, Celebrimbor lied on his resume, Galadriel tells Middle-Earth the new rings are Nenya business, the King dies but not before spilling some tea, Miriel and Elendil are in step with each other, the Stranger shows off for the Harfoots before hitting the bricks with Nori, and Halbrand simply walks into Mordor.
