Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Ten years after the wedding between Rhaenyra Targaryen and Laenor Velaryon, King Viserys survived his collapse and has now fathered 3 children with Alicent Hightower. Rhaenyra navigates Alicent’s continued speculation about her parentage of children, while Daemon and Laena weigh an offer in Pentos.

Our Take

Very good, not the series’ peak, but an hour that reminds you why House of the Dragon works.
