Plot Summary Up To Current Episode
In the previous 138 episodes spanning four seasons, viewers have seen Osman transform from a young bey (chief) seeking to unite the Ottoman tribes to a powerful Sultan defeating a Byzantine Emperor’s army.
Key events so far have included:
- Victory against the Mongols at the Battle of Kösedağ

- Conquest of Karacahisar and other strategic forts
- Establishment of the elite Janissary soldiers
- Attacks repelled from Byzantine Emperor Andronikos

The Season 4 finale saw Osman achieve a symbolic victory over the Byzantines by unfurling the Ottoman flag on the shores of the Black Sea, setting the stage for greater conquests to come.
What To Expect in Season 5 Episode 139
Episode 139 is expected to pick up right after the conquest of the Black Sea shores. Initial season synopses and trailer visuals indicate several key plot threads:
Consolidating Gains
Osman will work to integrate the newly taken territories into the Ottoman State. This includes uniting the tribal groups as well as establishing administrative and economic structures.
Preparing Counterattacks
The Byzantines suffered a shocking defeat last season but will be preparing for counter offensives. Osman and his Alps will likely further strengthen defenses.
Family and Allies
Osman will face challenges in keeping loyalties amidst growing power struggles. His wife Bala Hatun and brother Gündüz will continue to play critical support roles.
Unfinished Business
Köse Mihal, the cunning Greek landlord from Karacahisar who betrayed his people to aid the Ottomans, remains imprisoned. He is likely to play an important part in the political scheming.
New Threats
There will no doubt be fresh adversaries whether bandits, nobles, or surprises like the Mongols. The character Rogatus may be introduced as the season’s primary Byzantine antagonist.
So in summary – episode 139 promises the usual dose of lavishly produced battle scenes combined with Machiavellian court intrigue that fans have come to expect from the series!
