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.
