About this episode

The episode reviews significant plot developments in House of the Dragon, focusing on character arcs and emerging conflicts.

“Queen’s Landing” was meant to be the finale of season 2 and it really felt like it! We have a lot to say about the many parallels, the off-screen events and how Rhaenyra’s arc will shift massively, creating a cascade of new plots and conflicts. Aemond’s move might be just as huge, as he’s met one of the most interesting characters in the show just as he’s lost the throne. Rhaena and Aegon are on the run from their own kin, the Velaryons are scattered, but new armies are forming as fast as new ambitions.
