House of the Dragon: The Targaryens and Hightowers ready themselves for war after a controversial...

The first season ended with the shocking death of Rhaenyra Targaryen's son Lucerys"Luke" Velaryon and his dragon Arrax from Aemond Targaryen's dragon Vhagar, who killed Luke on his own without being ordered to do so from Aemond.

After Lord Larys suggested King Aegon II get a new Hand of the King, he made the controversial choice to remove Otto Hightower - Hand to the last three kings - and replace him with Ser Criston Cole , after he made the bold move to send Ser Arryk to kill Rhaenyra. Aemond - the true target of the hit - is seen walking through the Red Keep, sporting his eyepatch, hiding his disfigured left eye.

The new episode begins with the bloody bedding being taken after the slaughter of the King's son, as the Red Keep is in chaos Otto thinks those who support Rhaenyra may not anymore when they learned she killed King Aegon II's infant son. The commoners all gather in the streets as the funeral procession begins, with Alicent and Helaena riding on a cart together.

Otto thinks those who support Rhaenyra may not anymore when they learned she killed King Aegon II's infant son 'Are you suggesting, Ser Alfred, that my grief drove me to order the decapitation of a child?' she says. Aegon II goes to see the man in jail and brutally hits him in the head with a club, while, in the streets, the procession is stalled as the cart wheels get stuckRhaenyra is alone with Daemon, when she asks, 'Did you send assassins to murder children in their beds?'

Daemon insists, 'I have served you faithfully.' but she says, 'Have you? Or have you used me as a tool with which to grasp at your stolen inheritance?' She hits back with, 'My throne, Daemon, mine! I think you used my words as an excuse to take your own revenge... To indulge the darkness you keep sheathed within you like a blade.'

He insists it was ,'a folly! A folly! To give up my brother's throne to the traitorous lies -of Otto Hightower!' Rhaenyra says, 'He was not afraid of you, Daemon! He could not trust you... Any more than I can trust you.' Baela says, 'I will be vigilant,' as Rhaenyra says, 'I depend on you, Baela. Stay high and keep your distance. We can afford no further mistakes.'
