House of the Dragon Recap With Spoilers: Season 2, Episode 6

As a dedicated fan of “House of the Dragon,” I couldn’t contain my excitement as I sat down to watch the latest episode on HBO this past Sunday. The sixth installment of Season 2 brought us closer to the heart of the conflict, with Rhaenyra’s quest for new dragonriders and her efforts to turn the tide of the war.


On Sunday night, HBO aired a fresh episode of “House of the Dragon,” marking the start of the final three episodes in Season 2. In this installment, Rhaenyra embarks on a mission to discover new dragon riders and shift the course of the war. Meanwhile, Aegon recuperates from his injuries, and Aemond maintains control over King’s Landing.

War Continues

As a gamer, I’ve noticed that dragons have shaken up the strategy in this war. But despite the new rules, ground and naval armies remain crucial elements on the battlefield. The Lannisters have moved into the Riverlands, but they’re holding back on an assault for now. They’re waiting for Aemond and Vhagar to arrive before making their next move. It seems even having a powerful dragon can come with its own challenges.

Aemond is firmly in control with a strong hand, giving top priority to his military strategies. After Alicent attempted to share her advice with him once more, Aemond dismissed her from the council, expressing gratitude for her “loyalty to the monarchy.” Even Cole appears intimidated by Aemond now, and some are questioning if they should have stood behind him.

As Aegon recovers, Aemond persuades the maesters to extend his brother’s healing process, maintaining his rule for an extended period. Additionally, there’s the issue of the Hand of the King to address, and Aemond isn’t satisfied with Cole. Larys attempts to interfere but Aemond recognizes Larys’ manipulations. He instructs Larys to summon Otto Hightower back to his post, believing his grandfather is better suited for the role.

Regarding Hands, Corlys agreed to serve as Rhaenyra’s right-hand advisor. At her most recent council session, she summoned Ser Darklyn, discovered to be related to her lineage. Her intention is for him to attempt dragon riding, adding another aerial knight to her forces. She remains uncertain about Daemon’s reliability and his return.

In Harrenhal, Daemon is acting erratically. He’s been having disturbing visions, the most recent of which involved his deceased brother, Viserys, and their mother’s funeral. Daemon has become aggressive towards those around him, except for Alys Rivers. She may have taken matters into her own hands by supposedly caring for the sickly Lord Grover Tully, but it seems she ended his life instead. If successful in removing Lord Tully from power, Daemon could potentially advance.

Dragons and Smallfolk

At present, Rhaenyra holds two significant advantages: The dragons residing at Dragonstone without riders, and an imminent uprising brewing in King’s Landing. With insufficient provisions and wages, the common folk of King’s Landing are on the brink of rebellion. Rhaenyra and Mysaria inflame their discontent by employing spies and instigating unrest. Subsequently, they alleviate their hardships by supplying them with food via boats across the bay, thereby igniting the flames of chaos in the city.

I’ve had my share of challenges dealing with dragons. My attempt to tame Seasmoke, under the guidance of Ser Darklyn, didn’t go as planned and ended tragically for poor Ser Darklyn. Seasmoke, feeling distressed, fled the scene. With each passing moment, I could feel my hope of bonding with a dragon waning. Yet, unbeknownst to me, Seasmoke wasn’t giving up that easily. It sought out Addam of Hull, one of two common-born sons of Corlys Velaryon. In the wake of this event, Alyn, Addam’s brother, was granted a significant role in Corlys’ army, sailing alongside him as his right-hand man.

As a longtime fan of the intricate world of Game of Thrones, I’ve spent countless hours immersed in its rich lore and complex characters. This episode brought new excitement as we discovered not just three, but four dragons roaming Westeros!

A New Romance

In the relationship’s final moments of the episode, an unexpected development unfolds: After working together for quite some time, Rhaenyra and Mysaria find themselves growing very close. When Mysaria expresses her deep trust in Rhaenyra, the Queen responds by giving her a warm embrace. Their moment of connection deepens into a surprising kiss.

The unexpected arrival of a guard interrupted their close encounter, as he informed Rhaenyra that Seasmoke had been observed in the sky with an unknown rider. Suspecting treachery from the opposing side, she swiftly mounted her dragon and took off to investigate and confront the intruder.
