Spoilers for 'Money Heist' Season 5 Volume 1

There were a lot of moments in Season 5 of ‘Money Heist’ that we thought we’ll never see. Fans never thought that Professor will be shot in the foot by Alicia or Tokyo will be the latest casualty on the show. Apart from the epic action sequences and Tokyo’s death, there was another moment that nabbed all the attention and made fans worry a little.

At the start of Season 5, we saw Alicia Sierra (Najwa Nimri) finally finding out Professor’s (Alvaro Morte) den. She knew what she had to do and tied him up to a chair, but things slightly change when Colonel Tamayo (Fernando Cayo) accused Sierra of betraying the country and labels her as a traitor. However, the matter takes 360 degrees turn when Sierra’s water broke and was in labor pain. Professor told her that she’ll lose her child if she doesn’t let him help. He helps her in delivering the baby and she sees how Professor goes ahead with the plan.

But the ending moments of the show made everyone feel that Sierra is onto something. During the final moment of Volume 1, we see Sierra going to the bathroom and thinking about what should be her next move. In the process, she takes the plier and rolls it up her sleeve before coming out. According to a Reddit user, Sierra is working out a plan on how to clear her name from all the mess.

A Reddit user named u/StephenHolmes_ stated that the former police officer will use the plier to threaten The Professor in releasing the audiotape that will prove that she was innocent and was framed by Tamayo. The theory also claims that she wants the main protagonist to leak the audio recording so that her name could be cleared and she can live in Madrid with her newly born child. The only way to do this is by clearing her name.

Meanwhile, another user commented that she might torture him as well in case he refuses to release the audio. However, torturing the Professor would be a bit hard because Marseille (Luka Peros) and Benjamin (Ramon Agirre) are also present there, taking care of the baby. This theory is literally the only fan theory that we believe will surely happen. Sierra has taken that plier to do something unexpected and after Tokyo’s death, it would be the perfect time for her to strike because Professor is really vulnerable right now.

We would have to wait for three more months to know what exactly Sierra will do with those pliers. Until then, ‘Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao. Bella Ciao, Ciao, Ciao’.

‘Money Heist’ Season 5 Vol 1 is currently streaming on Netflix while Vol 2 will be premiering on December 3, 2021.
