SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if you haven’t watched the Season 1 finale of HBO’s “House of the Dragon,” currently streaming on HBO Max.  The Dance of Dragons finally kick…

The Dance of Dragons finally kicks off as the body count for “House of the Dragon” continues to rise.

Picking up from last episode, Rhaenys Targaryen arrives in Dragonstone and delivers the bad news to Rhaenyra and her family: King Viserys Targaryen is dead and Alicent Hightower has installed her son Aegon Targaryen as king, despite Rhaenyra being the heir for years. This surprising-but-not-completely-unexpected news upsets Rhaenyra, who’s pregnant, and causes her to go into labor. Daemon Targaryen , meanwhile, goes into full-on war mode upon hearing that Aegon has usurped the Iron Throne.

Not long after this horrible, bloody scene, Rhaenyra is officially named Queen of Westeros with her father’s crown. Everyone in the Dragonstone council room bends the knee, except Rhaenys, who gives a stone-cold stare. The blacks tally their troops, and it’s clear they’re outnumbered by the greens’ forces, but they do have more dragons. Their first course of action is to reaffirm the support from the Baratheons in Storm’s End, the Arryns in the Eyrie and the Starks in Winterfell.

Later, Rhaenyra and Daemon get into an argument about how to deal with the coming war. Rhaenyra wants to protect the realm, not rule over a land of ash and bone — perhaps a nod to her descendant Daenerys Targaryen’s destructive move to burn King’s Landing down in the finale episodes of “Game of Thrones.” Tensions rise, Rhaenyra clears the room and explains Viserys’ vision of a Song of Ice and Fire to Daemon, who had never heard it before.
