House of the Dragon Season 3 continues to raise the stakes as the battle for the Iron Throne enters a decisive new phase.
With King’s Landing now under Rhaenyra’s control, Episode 3 is expected to focus on the aftermath of her victory as the Targaryen civil war takes another dramatic turn.
What Happened in Episode 2?
Following Jace Velaryon’s death, a grieving Rhaenyra prepares for war as Daemon returns to her side, Corlys Velaryon survives the Battle of the Gullet, and Alicent secretly plans to surrender King’s Landing. Meanwhile, Aemond attacks Harrenhal and is wounded, while Aegon II escapes with Larys Strong.
The episode ends with Rhaenyra capturing King’s Landing, executing Otto Hightower, claiming the Iron Throne, and taking Alicent and Helaena into custody, marking a major turning point in the Targaryen civil war.
What To Expect From Episode 3?
The next episode is expected to explore the aftermath of Rhaenyra’s capture of King’s Landing.
As tensions continue to rise between the rival Targaryen factions, the preview hints at difficult decisions for Rhaenyra, along with new alliances, betrayals and large-scale battles that could change the course of the war.
