His son Keoua ascends the throne, claiming political leadership, while Kamehameha is named God of War, a move that enrages Keoua and sets the stage for open conflict.At the same time, in Zamboanga, Ka'iana redoubles efforts to rescue his missing fellow Tony. His quest takes him to a slave warehouse, where he sees the cruel incarceration of native prisoners. In a rage, he rescues Tony and others, sets fire to the warehouse, and battles through Spanish soldiers to flee aboard his ship as it leaves. His return, carrying weapons and new allies, marks the turn toward open warfare.Back in Hawai‘i, Kahekili seizes the moment of royal transition to plot an invasion, framing it as prophecy-driven unification, though even some of his chiefs express unease. At home, amid grief and perceived loss, Ka‘iana’s wife Kupuohi and his brother Namake form an unexpected bond, complicating familial ties just as Ka‘iana heads back.Major events to expect from Chief of War season 1 episode 5 (speculative)A still from the show (Image via Apple TV)Chief of War season 1 episode 5 could explore rising tensions across Hawai'i as Ka'iana returns from Zamboanga with arms and a renewed purpose. His return could alter the balance of power, more so with Ke'oa and Kamehameha clashing over the roles of leadership following their father's demise.The episode might also probe the steadfastness of Ka'iana's loyalties while debating game changes for Hawai'i brought due by his time overseas. Meanwhile, Kahekili's ambitions gain momentum, with his aggressive expansionist perspective bringing the islands closer to open warfare, fracturing the shaky alliances between the chiefs.This would, in turn, force both Ke'oa and Kamehameha to reconsider their strategies on the opposite end. On a personal note, the ever-complicated relationship blossoming between Kupuohi and Namake could be used again as a subplot to test family ties, just as the real fights loom on the horizon.Chief of War season 1 episode 5 will release on Apple TV on August 15, 2025, at midnight ET.
