After episode 4 ended with the death of Ermac Episode 5 begins with the history of Kitana and Mileena, they hate each other. Kitana is upset over the revelation of her real parentage and Mileena is loyal to her father Shao Kahn but Kitana knows the truth and is different now. They end up on the sidelines watching Kenshi v Ermac and we see that Johnny Cage is doing the same, that is until the girls become alerted to his presence and Mileena decides it’s time for him to die, he runs as the episodes ends. I would say 40% of this episode is a reshowing of the fight from the last episode.
