S2E4
The Red Dragon and the Gold
Episode Summary & Review
Summary
In Rhaenyra’s absence and with no word from Daemon at Harrenhal, Rhaenys tries to keep the peace on the Black Council as Cole mounts a campaign into the Crownlands. In King’s Landing, Aemond continues to undermine Aegon’s fragile hold on authority.
Our Take
This one earns its reputation: tight writing, real stakes, and a payoff that lands. Peak House of the Dragon.
