Key Events in House of the Dragon Season 2, Episode 4
Episode 4, titled “The Battle at Rook’s Rest,” brings a significant turning point in the narrative. Criston Cole, who had previously seized control of several castles for the Greens, goes rogue and plots to capture Rook’s Rest without Aemond’s knowledge. This episode sees Aegon, increasingly erratic in behavior, join the battle intoxicated.
The episode climaxes with Aemond attacking his own brother, Aegon, and his dragon, Sunfyre, causing them to crash into the forest. This battle significantly alters the power dynamics and sets the stage for further conflict.
What to Expect in House of the Dragon Season 2, Episode 5
The teaser for Episode 5 reveals that Aegon survives his injuries from the battle. Despite the loss of Rhaenys, a key council member and experienced dragon rider, Rhaenyra remains resolute. She continues her campaign to conquer the Riverlands, using Daemon’s fiery threats to ensure compliance from resistant factions.
Mysaria hints at a deeper strategy by the Blacks, stating, “There is more than one way to fight a war.” This suggests that Rhaenyra’s forces may be planning a retaliatory move in response to Rhaenys’s tragic death.
