#houseofthedragon #gameofthronesuniverse Chaos continues in King's Landing as threats and opposition to Rhaenyra's reign continue to grow. Daemon's trip to the Vale results in more than collecting gold from Lady Arryn. Corlys shifts some of his responsibilities in order to put distance between himself and the Queen. The Hightower host in Tumbleton causes tension and places a particular family in harm's way. Aegon's pride continues to place him and Larys in unnecessary danger. Ormund makes a bold declaration regarding the Throne.

#houseofthedragon #gameofthronesuniverse Rhaenyra's reign as Queen begins awash in dilemmas and deficiencies as she realizes how Aegon's rule and defection have caused King's Landing to suffer. Corlys reacts in anger when a request is not given the attention he desires. Daemon's handling of the Hightower host (led by Ormund) has extreme consequences. Rhaenyra seeks counsel from an unlikely source, and is disturbed by the advise she received.

Corlys makes a long overdue decision while pondering the cost of victory. Rhaena seeks asylum with an unsympathetic host. Aemond finds himself in trouble when his trip to Harrenhal hits a snag. Rhaenyra and Daemon follow through on the plan.

#houseofthedragon #gameofthronesuniverse #teamblack Aegon's disappearance puts a kink in Alicent's carefully laid out plans. Rhaenyra's quick belief in Alicent's plan causes concern for her Small Council. Daemon's ground forces grow stronger as they claim a small victory on the road. Ser Criston grows more despondent in his thoughts for the future battle. Corlys' attempts to breach a divide is interrupted by a surprise attack. Rhaena's attempts to claim a dragon have unexpected consequences. Decisions made to protect the Queen come at a high price.
