CAN GI HUN PROTECT 222?? Squid Game Season 3 Full Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects

With the FINAL EPISODES of the series upon us, Squid Game Season 3 Episode 5 Reaction, Recap, Breakdown, Commentary, Spoiler Review & ending explained!!

Greg Alba & John Humphrey return for another high-stakes showdown in Squid Game Season 3 as Episode 5 debuts on Netflix. The final rounds begin with unexpected twists and testing reveals that raise the tension even higher.

This episode centers on the final eight contestants awakening and preparing for the last games. A masked guard (Guard 11, played by Park Gyu-young – Netflix’s Squid Game, Lovecraft Country) shows fierce resistance, defying orders and protecting Player 246—creating an early emotional jockeying for power. Meanwhile, Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon – Money Heist, Something in the Rain) pilots Player 246’s rescue boat through dense fog, receiving a chilling warning from his brother, the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun – G.I. Joe, Masters of the Universe), instructing him to abandon the mission—or else...

Back on the island, the final players ascend a towering stairwell toward the last game, Control Room tensions, high-stakes defiance, and the true cost of resistance. Guard 11’s bold stand in the corridors and Harrowing whispers of final eliminations set a grim tone that weighs on every character’s fate.

With only half the contestants left, alliances are tested and gut instincts kick in. Notable scenes include the powerful showdown between guarded empathy and brutal rule, and a cliffhanger hinting at the brutal final format of Episode 6.

Squid Game veterans Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae – Train to Busan), Front Man (Lee Byung-hun), and Jun-ho return, joined by returning allies Dae-ho (Kang Ha-neul) and Cho Hyun-ju (Park Sung-hoon), plus emerging players like Park Gyu-young as Guard 11—all amplifying the emotional stakes.
