    Eros enters the bedroom and shrugs off Cassia's concerns. He tells her to apply Olympian cream instead of wasting his divine magic. After kissing her forehead, he leaves for a council meeting. Cassia bitterly assumes Elara endures a far worse fate.

    In the Underworld, Elara opens her eyes and spots Thanatos slicing open his wrist with a bone dagger. He pours his glowing divine life force into her damaged soul. Elara tries pulling him away, but he refuses to stop giving his blood.

Key Lines from Episode 5

“A mortal body can only take so much divine pleasure. Consider it a small price to pay.”

Eros · Eros tells Cassia this when she panics about finding wrinkles on her face.

“If giving it up means keeping you here with me, I'd bleed myself dry, without a second thought.”

Thanatos · Thanatos says this to Elara as she tries to stop him from bleeding.

“I chose the underworld. I chose you. Whatever comes next we face it together.”

Elara · Elara reassures Thanatos after he gives his divine life force to heal her.

“From this moment on, Elara, you are more than my wife. You are my queen. And theirs.”

Thanatos · Thanatos proclaims this while kneeling before Elara after sharing his divine power.

How Episode 5 Ends

Thanatos drops to one knee before Elara. He kisses her hand, which now glows with transferred divine energy, and proclaims that she is now the queen of his domain. With Elara now wielding half the God of Death's authority, how will Olympus and Cassia react when they learn of her rise?
