Introduction

Spoiler Alert: This story contains season 5 spoilers

I wasn't expecting Netflix to release Money Heist Season 5 until December 2021. Of course I had seen the trailer and build-up for the season 5 release and guessed they would release the entire season at once. I was pleasantly surprised to log on and see season 5 trending. Netflix's ingenious plan to release season 5 in two parts is a great suspense builder and guys if part one is anything to go by, part two will be epic

Main Highlights

Alicia Sierra: At the end of season 4, she discovered the professor's hideout. When Marseille and Manilla's father return from rescuing Racquel aka Lisbon, she has them drugged and tied up. She realises she is on her own when Tamayo goes on National television to state she is the mole and cooperating with the gang after planting fake evidence

Surprise fact: Her water breaks and she goes into labour

Professor: Professor has been taken prisoner by Alicia who hangs him chained from a railing hoping to torture him for information. He tries to distract Alicia when Marseille and Manilla's dad arrive but she knocks him out and drugs him

Surprise fact: Professor encourages her to release them so they can assist her in delivery as the baby is in breech position. Her prisoners now become her saviors

Tamayo: Tamayo calls in the military and contacts a general with a special ops elite team to flush the gang out

Surprise fact: When he realises the gang have the firepower to engage the special ops team, he plans a second attack which is foiled when Professor plays Lisbon's trump card

Tokyo: Tokyo reveals secrets about her past, her first love and how she met Rio

Surprise fact: She sacrifices her life for the rest of the team

Berlin: We are given flashbacks into Berlin's past and a previous heist

Surprise fact: He has a son and co-opts him into a heist

Arturo Roman: Arturo leads a rebellion (again) taking the President of the Bank and other hostages with him in a bid to escape. His actions almost gets people killed and injures others

Surprise fact: Monica decides to deal with him decisively

Helsinki : Helsinki is badly wounded during the storming of the bank when a statue crushes his leg

Surprise fact: Can Monica save his leg in time and avoid an amputation

The entire gang is crushed at the loss of Tokyo even though they know she scarificed her life for them to avoid them being captured or killed. Season 5, part 1 contains lots of epic fight scenes, firepower and explosions, sombre moments, raw emotions, heart stopping suspense and lots of other surprises
