Velma episodes 5 and 6 will release on HBO Max on January 26, 2023

As stated above, the fifth episode of Velma, titled Marching Band Sleepover, will be released on January 26, 2023, alongside its sixth episode, The Sins of the Fathers and Some Mothers, at 3.01 am EST. For fans in the United States, the series is available to stream on HBO Max.

Unfortunately, for users in the United Kingdom and India, episode 5 is unavailable to stream on any platform as distribution deals for those countries have not been made yet.

The plot of the fifth episode is currently unknown, but if fans were to guess, it could pick up from where the last episode left off.

In the fourth episode, Velma Dinkley spoke about how she was unable to fit in with the crowd at her school. In the same episode, the mayor of her hometown revealed that Fred Jones, a prime suspect in the murder mystery Velma is trying to solve, would be exonerated, as he was in prison when the third murder occurred.

Fred's exoneration is met with disappointment from his father, who had converted Fred's room into a skating rink. Town authorities also created a team called HOPE (Hotties Only, Pukefaces Excluded). The team's goal was to rank and guard the five hottest girls from Dinkley's school.

The refusal by the authorities to make a list of girls for HOPE angered Dinkley, and she created the list herself. She received assistance from Norville Rogers, who also suggested to Fred that he help out with the list.

Norville also visited and taught Daphne Blake, who was housebound for protection from the murders, about the history of a group known as the Geodes, born at the Crystal Cove Mines. Flashbacks revealed that infant Daphne was abandoned by her biological parents at Crystal Cove Mines.

Also depicted was Velma's stepmother, Sophie delivering her and Aman Dinkley's baby. Velma pondered whether or not society had forced her stepmother to have a baby.
