In the next episode of "Marvel's Inhumans," Maximus (Iwan Rheon) doubles down on finding Black Bolt (Anson Mount), Medusa (Serinda Swan), and the rest of the Inhuman Royal Family.

The trailer for the upcoming installment titled "Something Inhuman This Way Comes" was released just recently and showed Maximus in Attilan communicating with his loyal follower Auran (Sonya Balmores) who is on Earth. "Find Black Bot and the rest of the Royal Family and finish your mission," Maximus says adamantly. Auran goes to Dr. Evan Declan (Henry Ian Cusick) and asks him where Black Bolt is as she grasps his neck with one hand. Nevertheless, it seems that Auran and her thugs may have found Royal Family members Gorgon (Eme Ikwuakor) and Karnak (Ken Leung).

Karnak appears to face off with Mordis (Bridger Zadina), a villain with powerful heat vision. He blasts Karnak but misses him. Gorgon then enters the fight with a mighty stomp of his hoof. The ground quakes as Auran's thugs lose their bearing. It remains to be seen how that encounter will play out in the coming episode.

Meanwhile, Black Bolt and Medusa are reunited once again and make a call to the traitorous Maximus. "Black Bolt says that when he gets home, he wants to have a few words," Medusa says to him with contempt.

In the last episode, Auran was able to locate Black Bolt and was about to kill him with a heat blast from Mordis. However, Medusa arrived just in time and ran Mordis over with her car. He fell over and shot a heat wave at a gas tank which exploded.

The thrust of the explosion took out Auran and her henchmen while Black Bolt and Medusa were able to escape unscathed.

"Marvel's Inhumans" season 1 episode 5 will air on Friday, Oct. 20 at 9 p.m. EDT on ABC.
