What happened in 'The Regime' Episode 5?
Elena's ultimate loss of control over her position of power in the last episode, as rebel troops seize possession of her palace, serves as a poignant element of the series' narrative.
After getting abandoned by her ministerial council, she escapes through a tunnel with Herbert, leaving her son Oskar (Louie Mynett) behind on the palace grounds.
In addition, the devoted palace manager Agnes (Andrea Riseborough) dies in a devastating moment as a bait to save Oskar.

Now at the mercy of Herbert after narrowly escaping being torn apart by the Westage soldiers, Elena faces a precarious situation given Herbert's aggressive tendencies, which could pose a threat to her well-being.
Additionally, there's the possibility that she will be captured by the Westgate Army and brought to justice, or she could engineer a dramatic comeback.
