What Happens in HOTD Season 2 Episode 4?

While the Greens and Blacks strategize for the biggest battle in Westeros’ history, Daemon gets annoyed in Harrenhal. That’s because he had a nightmare where he saw young Rhaenyra in the throne room. She is wearing the crown and talking in Valarian. Daemon wakes up after being called by Lord Strong, who informs him about some crucial things.

On the other hand, Alicent can’t stop thinking of her recent interaction with her former best friend, Rhaenyra. Now that the Queen knows the actual meaning of her late husband’s last words, she asks Grand Maester Orwyle if King Viserys wanted Aegon to be his heir. Before leaving, the Grand Maester says that the true meaning can’t be discovered now. After he leaves, Alicent grabs the cup of tea that induces abortion.

Rhaenys goes to meet Corlys at Driftmark, but before meeting her husband, she approaches Alyn and compliments him, saying that his mother must be very beautiful. After that, Rhaenys tells Corlys that Baela has asked her to visit Drangonstone. Ser Criston Cole and his army head toward Rook’s Rest to claim it. Rhaenys also arrives there to fight against the new hand of the King.

Aegon II also shows up and confronts Rhaenys and her dragon initially. However, after sending the Usurper King to the ground, Rhaenys fights Aemond and Vhagar. Unfortunately, this was the worst decision she had ever made, as Vhagar and Aemond killed her without breaking a sweat. On the other side, the clash between three powerful dragons ended with the fall of two dragons: Meleys and Sunfyre.

Ser Criston Cole also loses consciousness for a bit, and after waking up, he becomes concerned about Aegon’s whereabouts. When he asks Aemond about the King, the one-eyed Targaryen prince points toward an injured Aegon and his dragon.
