Recap & Record

Ten years later, Rhaenyra gives birth to her third child, whom Ser Laenor names Joffrey. Queen Alicent notes the infant's hair, like his brothers Jacaerys and Lucerys, is brown rather than Targaryen silver. She presses Viserys to declare them bastards with no succession rights, which he rejects. Ser Criston, now loyal to Alicent, goads Ser Harwin. Alicent scolds Aegon for pranking his brother, Aemond, then says he must prepare himself to fight for the throne. Daemon and Laena visit Essos with daughters Baela and Rhaena, where the Prince of Pentos offers them a lordship in exchange for an alliance against the Triarchy, which has reclaimed the Stepstones.

After agonizing labor, Laena, unable to give birth, commands her dragon Vhagar to incinerate her. To make peace, Rhaenyra proposes her son Jacaerys marry Princess Helaena, Alicent's daughter. Ser Lyonel Strong offers his resignation as Hand of the King over rumors regarding his son, Ser Harwin. King Viserys refuses, but allows him to briefly travel to Harrenhal with Harwin, who will remain there.

Ser Harwin's emotional farewell to Rhaenyra and her children implies he is their father. Alicent tells Larys Strong she wishes her father was still the king's Hand. At Harrenhal, Ser Lyonel and Harwin die in a fire, apparently orchestrated by Larys. Rhaenyra, Laenor and their children relocate to Dragonstone.

Rhaenyra travels to Storm's End, where, with Lord Boremund Baratheon's guidance, she meets and rejects countless suitors. She returns to King's Landing just as Prince Daemon arrives from the Stepstones on his dragon, Caraxes. Daemon says he was named "King of the Narrow Sea" but swears allegiance to King Viserys and, removing his crown, hands it to the king.

As the reunited brothers celebrate at a feast, Queen Alicent confides her loneliness to Rhaenyra, who misses their friendship. Late at night, Rhaenyra, disguised as a boy, sneaks out with Daemon to explore King's Landing; they drink, attend a bawdy play, and visit a brothel where Daemon seduces a willing Rhaenyra. Unable to become fully aroused with his niece, Daemon, agitated, abandons her there. Returning to the Red Keep, Rhaenyra seduces Ser Criston.

A spy informs Ser Otto about Daemon and Rhaenyra's exploits. Alicent overhears Ser Otto telling the king. She privately questions Rhaenyra, who denies having had sex with Daemon. The king angrily confronts Daemon, who seemingly confirms the accusations and proposes that he wed Rhaenyra. Viserys says Daemon only wants the marriage to gain the crown, then exiles his brother back to the Vale.

To avoid scandal, Viserys orders Rhaenyra to marry Ser Laenor Velaryon. The king dismisses Ser Otto as his Hand, feeling Otto has always manipulated him for his own personal gain. The king sends Grand Maester Mellos to give Rhaenyra a precautionary abortifacient tea.

Returning to Runestone, Daemon murders his wife, Lady Rhea Royce. In the Driftmark, King Viserys arranges a marriage between Rhaenyra and Ser Laenor, mollifying Lord Corlys Velaryon. Rhaenyra understands Laenor's sexual orientation and proposes they perform their royal duties while having lovers. Before leaving King's Landing, Ser Otto warns Queen Alicent that if Rhaenyra becomes queen, Alicent's children will be considered a threat to the throne.

Alicent discretely questions Ser Criston about Rhaenyra and Daemon, only to learn Criston was the princess's lover. At a celebratory feast, Alicent enters the hall during the king's speech, purposefully wearing a green gown, House Hightower's signal color for a call to arms. Ser Gerold Royce claims Daemon murdered his cousin, Lady Rhea. Daemon denies it and demands his late wife's lands and wealth. Laenor's lover, Ser Joffrey Lonmouth surmises that Ser Criston loves Rhaenyra and smugly suggests they guard each other's secrets. Criston, conflicted over breaking his knightly vows, is infuriated and fatally beats Joffrey.

Laenor is openly devastated by Joffrey's death. Rhaenyra and Laenor are privately wed to avert further scandal; a frail Viserys collapses immediately after. As Criston is about to commit suicide over his misdeed, Alicent intervenes.

King Viserys and his court attend Lady Laena's funeral in Driftmark. Rhaenyra and Daemon reunite and are physically intimate. Prince Aemond claims Vhagar as his dragon, leading to an altercation with his cousins and nephews in which Lucerys slashes Aemond's eye with a Valyrian steel knife. Viserys denies Queen Alicent's demand that Lucerys' eye be gouged out as retribution.

When Alicent attempts to attack Lucerys, Rhaenyra blocks her; Alicent stabs Rhaenyra's arm in a struggle. After claims that Rhaenyra's children are bastards, Viserys decrees that anyone questioning their legitimacy will be silenced. Reinstated as Hand of the King, Otto Hightower tells Alicent they will soon prevail. Rhaenyra and Daemon unite against Alicent and her supporters.

Ser Qarl Correy apparently murders Laenor, with Princess Rhaenys and Lord Corlys believing that the found charred body is their son's. Meanwhile, Daemon and Rhaenyra are privately married in the Old Valyrian tradition to continue the pure Targaryen bloodline. Following his faked death, Laenor, his head shaved, secretly flees Driftmark with Ser Qarl.

It's the finale of House of The Dragon & wow. What a season. Halfway through the episode, we're joined by our friend & current heir to the Iron Throne, Chef Targaryen.

On Dragonstone, Princess Rhaenys announces King Viserys's death and that Prince Aegon usurped the throne. Shocked, Rhaenyra goes into premature labor and suffers a stillbirth. Prince Daemon, believing Viserys was murdered, urges war. Ser Erryk brings Viserys' crown and Rhaenyra is declared queen. Ser Otto presents Aegon's terms for Rhaenyra's concession; she prevents Daemon from killing Otto and delays answering.

Privately, Daemon is angered that Rhaenyra may concede to unify the realm against the threat foretold by Aegon the Conqueror's dream. Rhaenys persuades Lord Corlys to pledge House Velaryon's allegiance to Rhaenyra's "Black" faction; Daemon plans to recruit more dragonriders, and awakens the large dragon Vermithor. Rhaenyra sends Princes Jacaerys and Lucerys as envoys to secure Houses Arryn, Stark, and Baratheon as allies. Lucerys meets with Lord Borros Baratheon, who refuses to support Rhaenyra, saying she offered him nothing.

Prince Aemond is also present, who, under Aegon's arrangement, would marry Borros' daughter. Aemond demands an eye from Lucerys as retribution. Lucerys leaves on his dragon, Arrax, but Aemond pursues him on Vhagar. The fractious dragons defy their riders' commands; Arrax burns Vhagar; incensed, Vhagar kills Lucerys and Arrax, stunning Aemond. Daemon informs Rhaenyra of Lucerys' death.
