Spoiler note: This House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 6 review discusses “Smallfolk” in full, including Rhaenyra and Mysaria, Seasmoke choosing Addam, Aemond dismissing Alicent, Daemon's Harrenhal visions, Sir Steffon Darklyn, the King's Landing riot, and the ending. Mary & Blake are TV-first viewers and avoid future Fire & Blood spoilers. In our House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 6 review, we break down “Smallfolk,” an episode that shows what happens when the people under Targaryen rule stop being background noise and start becoming political power. The episode does what House of the Dragon does best: intimate character scenes, sharp emotional reversals, visual mirroring, and power shifting through small choices. But it also exposes one of Season 2's biggest problems: with only two episodes left, some storylines still feel like they are spinning wheels instead of moving with urgency. Mary gave the episode 4.7 flames, while Blake gave it 4.4 flames. The high points are Seasmoke choosing Addam, Aemond becoming more terrifying in power, the smallfolk turning against the Greens, and Daemon being forced to confront his past. The bigger question is whether all of this setup is moving fast enough. Below, you can listen to our full podcast breakdown, watch the video version, read the recap, and follow our related House of the Dragon Season 2 coverage. Listen To Our House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 6 Recap And Reaction Mary & Blake discuss House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 6, “Smallfolk,” including why the show is great at character but shakier with plot, whether the Rhaenyra and Mysaria kiss works, Aemond's cold rise, Alicent's loss of power, Daemon's Harrenhal story, Seasmoke claiming Addam, and why Blake grew up thinking Tampax was candy. Subscribe To Get New House Of The Dragon Episodes APPLE PODCASTS YOUTUBE SPOTIFY House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 6 Recap: What Happens In “Smallfolk”? “Smallfolk” begins with the pressure inside King's Landing getting worse. The people are hungry, the blockade is working, food is scarce, and anger is beginning to point toward the royal family instead of only toward Rhaenyra. Aemond now rules as Prince Regent and immediately makes his authority felt. He orders Criston Cole toward Harrenhal, tells Alicent she no longer has a place on the council, and wants Otto Hightower brought back. The problem is that Aemond is not simply organized. He is cold, dangerous, and increasingly uninterested in anyone who cannot serve his purpose. At Dragonstone, Rhaenyra continues searching for new dragonriders. Sir Steffon Darklyn attempts to claim Seasmoke because of his distant Targaryen blood, but the ceremony ends in fire. Seasmoke rejects him and later finds Addam, choosing his own rider instead of waiting for one to be presented. Mysaria helps Rhaenyra attack the Greens from below by sending food into King's Landing and spreading rumors among the smallfolk. The plan works. The people turn their hunger into rage, Alicent and Helaena are nearly overwhelmed in the streets, and the Green regime looks weaker than ever. Meanwhile, Daemon remains trapped in Harrenhal's haunted psychology. He sees Viserys again, confronts old guilt, deals with Alys Rivers, and watches the Riverlands situation become more complicated as Lord Grover Tully conveniently dies and the path to moving that plot forward finally opens. House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 6 Review “Smallfolk” is a strange episode because almost everything inside the scenes works, but the episode as a whole can still feel like it is moving too slowly for this late in the season. The character work is strong. Aemond and Alicent's scene is excellent. Larys and Aegon's bedside conversation is one of the episode's best surprises. Rhaenyra and Mysaria create a major emotional and political complication. Seasmoke chasing Addam gives the hour a needed burst of dragon personality. And the riot shows that the war is no longer only about kings, queens, councils, and dragons. But the plot still fumbles in places. Daemon has been at Harrenhal for a long time. The show keeps circling Hugh, Addam, Alyn, Ulf, and the dragonseed setup without always making those characters feel fully alive yet. And with only two episodes left in the season, some of the slow-burn storytelling starts to feel less like patience and more like hesitation. That is why Blake lands lower than Mary on this one. The episode is well made, well acted, and full of strong individual moments. But the larger season engine needs to start paying off the setup faster. Why Is The Episode Called “Smallfolk”? The title “Smallfolk” points to the ordinary people of King's Landing, who become impossible for the ruling families to ignore in this episode. For most of the season, the war has been framed around royal grief, succession, dragon power, and family betrayal. But “Smallfolk” reminds us that every royal choice has a cost below the council table. When the gullet is closed, the people go hungry. When the rich hoard food, the poor eat scraps. When dragons fight, ordinary people burn, starve, riot, and pay the bill. The title also matters because Rhaenyra and Mysaria understand something the Greens keep missing: the smallfolk are not just passive victims. They are a force. Feed them, anger them, scare them, or inspire them, and they can change the political weather of the city. Aemond, Alicent, And The Burden Of Authority Aemond's scene with Alicent is one of the defining scenes of the episode. Alicent tries to mother him, advise him, and remind him that power requires judgment. Aemond responds by making clear that he no longer sees her as useful. That is what makes the moment so cold. He does not explode. He does not need to. He simply removes her from the council and tells her to return to domestic life, as if all her years of political maneuvering were only ever temporary permission granted by men. Alicent helped build the argument that women should not rule. Now that argument has come back for her. She wanted Aegon over Rhaenyra because the realm would not accept a woman. But when Aegon falls and Aemond rises, the men around her do not suddenly make an exception for Alicent. The line about the indignities of Aemond's childhood not yet being sufficiently avenged cuts to the core of him. Aemond has power now, but he is still moving from old wounds. That makes him effective, frightening, and emotionally unreachable. Larys And Aegon Become A Dangerous Pair The Larys and Aegon bedside scene is one of the episode's most interesting surprises. Aegon is broken, burned, vulnerable, and trapped in a body that no longer lets him perform the role of king the way he imagined. Larys knows what that kind of humiliation can do to a person. He speaks to Aegon not only as a manipulator, but as someone who understands what it means to be looked at as damaged, cursed, or less than whole. That does not make Larys good. It makes him more dangerous. He sees the part of Aegon that Aemond underestimates. He knows that a wounded king with a working mind can still be useful. Maybe even more useful, because everyone else may stop looking at him as a threat. Aemond may have taken the regency, but this scene suggests he has made a serious mistake by leaving Aegon alive, underestimated, and emotionally available to Larys Strong. Rhaenyra And Mysaria: Does The Kiss Work? The Rhaenyra and Mysaria kiss is the most debated moment of “Smallfolk,” and Mary and Blake land on the same basic concern from different angles: the emotional need makes sense, but the timing and politics are messy. Rhaenyra is isolated. Daemon is gone. Her council doubts her. Her son challenges her. Her claim is under pressure. Mysaria offers something Rhaenyra has not received enough of lately: belief, attention, and a sense that someone sees her as the queen she wants to be. That emotional intimacy matters. A lingering hug would have made perfect sense. A charged moment where both women realize something is shifting would have made sense too. The kiss, however, creates complications the episode does not fully process yet. Rhaenyra is married. Mysaria is politically useful but not necessarily trustworthy. Rhaenyra's council already questions her judgment. If this relationship becomes known or if Mysaria feels rejected later, the consequences could be serious. That is why the kiss matters beyond shock value. It is not simply about romance. It may be a new vulnerability. Rhaenyra needs connection, but needing connection inside a war can become dangerous fast. Mysaria's Food Plan Turns Hunger Into A Weapon Mysaria's strongest move in the episode is not the kiss. It is the food. She understands the smallfolk because she understands need. She knows that hungry people do not think in abstract claims and royal bloodlines. They think about bread, meat, fish, safety, and whether the people in charge seem to care if they live. Sending food into King's Landing under Rhaenyra's banner is a brilliant political move because it turns the Greens' weakness into Rhaenyra's opportunity. The Greens have the city, but they cannot feed it. Rhaenyra is outside the city, but she can make herself feel present inside it. The riot shows how fragile royal power becomes when the people are hungry. Alicent and Helaena are not attacked because of one clean political idea. They are swallowed by fear, resentment, rumor, and desperation. That is the burden of authority Aemond does not yet understand. Seasmoke Chooses Addam The dragon material in “Smallfolk” works because it gives Seasmoke personality and agency. Rhaenyra tries to solve the dragonrider problem with genealogy. Sir Steffon Darklyn has distant Targaryen blood, courage, and loyalty. He wants the bond to work. The ritual feels sacred and serious. But Seasmoke says no, and the result is brutal. Then Seasmoke finds Addam. That reversal is important because Addam does not claim Seasmoke in the traditional heroic way. Seasmoke claims Addam. The dragon chases him, corners him, studies him, and chooses him. It is funny, terrifying, and much more interesting than a clean ceremony. The likely reason is blood. Addam is connected to Corlys, Laenor, and old Valyria in a way Sir Steffon is not. But the episode does not reduce the moment to math. It lets the dragon make the choice. Addam, Alyn, And The Dragonseed Problem Addam becoming Seasmoke's rider finally gives the Alyn and Addam material a clearer reason to exist. Until now, their scenes have often felt like setup without enough personality. “Smallfolk” changes that because one of them is now tied directly to the dragon war. That does not mean the show has fully solved the problem. Alyn is still mostly defined by silence, shaving his white hair, and carrying resentment around Corlys. Addam has the bigger moment because Seasmoke chooses him, but we still need the show to make him more than “the guy the dragon picked.” Still, the dragonseed lane is now alive. Rhaenyra needs riders. Seasmoke has chosen one. Hugh's hair, Ulf's talk, and the growing focus on smallfolk with possible Targaryen blood are no longer random. The season is pointing toward a much bigger shift in who gets access to dragon power. Hugh Hammer And The Cost Of Hunger Hugh remains one of the most interesting smallfolk pieces because the episode complicates him. Last week, Mary was more in on Hugh because he seemed like a hardworking father trying to care for his sick child. This week, he punches someone and steals food. That does not make him simple. It makes him desperate. Hunger changes people. A sick child changes people. A city under blockade changes people. Hugh is not sitting at a council table talking about sacrifice. He is living inside it. The dog helps his case, though. He pets the ratcatcher's dog, and that matters. In a show full of people who ignore suffering, anyone who is still kind to an animal gets at least one mark in the good column. But Hugh is not just a nice man. He may be someone with enough Targaryen blood to matter, enough anger to be dangerous, and enough experience with the machinery of war to become more than background. Daemon At Harrenhal Needs To Move Forward Daemon's Harrenhal story gives us great moments, but “Smallfolk” is where the patience starts to thin. Seeing Viserys again matters. Daemon being forced back into the throne room, back into the wounds with his brother, and back into the choices that shaped him is emotionally useful. The show is making him confront his original sin: his relationship with Viserys, his hunger for recognition, and his habit of running away from responsibility. Alys Rivers also keeps working as a strange, witchy pressure point. She knows too much, appears when she wants, and seems to understand Harrenhal as more than a castle. Whether she is guiding Daemon, poisoning him, helping him, or simply watching him break, she remains fascinating. But the story needs to connect more strongly to the main season engine now. Daemon's visions cannot stay weird for the sake of weird. They need to change what he does. The good news is that Lord Grover Tully's death may finally move the Riverlands plot into its next phase. Alicent And Helaena In The Riot The riot scene is where the title “Smallfolk” becomes physical. Alicent and Helaena are no longer protected by status, symbols, or the idea that the people will simply endure whatever the crown gives them. The scene has zombie-movie energy because the crowd is not one clean villain. It is hunger, fear, panic, and anger all moving at once. The guards make things worse. A hand gets cut off. Alicent is wounded. Helaena is overwhelmed. The royal family suddenly feels very small inside its own city. Alicent's arm wound also mirrors Rhaenyra's wound from Season 1, when Alicent cut her during the Driftmark confrontation. Then, Rhaenyra was protecting Luke. Now, Alicent is protecting Helaena. The show keeps placing these women in mirrored positions, even as their choices keep them apart. That is the tragedy of Alicent and Rhaenyra. They understand each other more than almost anyone else does. But the war they helped create keeps turning that understanding into pain instead of peace. House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 6 Ending Explained The ending of “Smallfolk” matters because Seasmoke choosing Addam changes Rhaenyra's entire problem. At the start of the episode, Rhaenyra thinks she needs to find a person worthy of a dragon. By the end, the dragon has found someone himself. That means the dragonseed question is no longer theoretical. There are people outside the official royal line who may be able to ride dragons, and the dragons may have a say in who those people are. Politically, the ending is also dangerous. If Addam can ride Seasmoke, then Rhaenyra may have access to new power. But that power comes from outside the clean family structure she has been relying on. More riders could help her defeat Vhagar. They could also create new problems of loyalty, legitimacy, and control. For the Greens, the ending is bad news. Aemond has Vhagar and the regency, but Rhaenyra may finally have a path toward balancing the dragon math. What “Smallfolk” Sets Up Next Episode 6 sets up the final stretch of Season 2 by pushing the war below the royal family and into the people, the dragons, and the forgotten bloodlines around them. Rhaenyra gains political momentum with the smallfolk but creates a personal complication with Mysaria. Mysaria proves she may be Rhaenyra's most effective advisor and possibly one of her biggest risks. Addam becomes Seasmoke's new rider, changing Team Black's dragon problem. Alyn remains tied to Corlys and the Driftmark question, but still needs stronger characterization. Hugh becomes more complicated as hunger, family, and possible Targaryen blood keep circling him. Aemond rules with frightening calm and pushes Alicent further out of power. Aegon is wounded but not politically useless, especially with Larys now close to him. Alicent sees how quickly the people can turn when authority fails to feed them. Daemon may finally be forced to move forward after another round of Harrenhal visions.

After the catastrophe at Rook's Rest, the Greens have a broken king, a traumatized Hand, a terrified city, and Aemond standing closer to power than ever. Team Black has lost Rhaenys and Meleys, but Rhaenyra and Jace begin asking the question that changes the season: what if they need more dragonriders? Mary gave the episode 4.8 flames, while Blake gave it 4.55 flames. This is not the most explosive hour of the season, but it does important board-reset work after Episode 4 and gives the production team a chance to show off the editing, sound mixing, and visual storytelling underneath the political fallout.

Subscribe To Get New House Of The Dragon Episodes APPLE PODCASTS YOUTUBE SPOTIFY House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 5 Recap: What Happens In “Regent”? “Regent” begins in the aftermath of Rook's Rest. King's Landing receives the severed head of Meleys as Criston Cole parades the dead dragon through the streets, hoping to present victory. Instead, the smallfolk react with fear. Dragons are supposed to be gods, symbols, and power beyond ordinary men. Seeing one dragged through the city as meat changes the emotional temperature of the war. Aegon survives the battle, but he is horribly burned and barely alive. The maesters work on him as Alicent realizes that her son's body, the Green claim, and her own political influence are all breaking at the same time. Aemond moves into power. He does not sit the Iron Throne immediately, but he takes the symbolic place of rule and becomes Prince Regent while Aegon is incapacitated. Alicent argues that she should rule in Aegon's stead, but the men around the council table dismiss her. After everything she did to put a man on the throne, the same logic is now used to push her aside. On Dragonstone, Rhaenyra mourns Rhaenys and wrestles with the cost of restraint. Jace makes moves of his own, meeting with the Freys at the Twins and helping Rhaenyra think through the dragon problem. Team Black has dragons, but not enough riders. That leads to the season's next major idea: looking beyond the obvious Targaryen line for people with dragonlord blood. At Harrenhal, Daemon keeps spiraling through visions, Alys Rivers, old guilt, and the increasingly strange atmosphere of the castle. His attempt to command the Riverlands becomes more complicated when the local lords reject the violence done in Rhaenyra's name. House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 5 Review “Regent” is a transition episode, but that does not mean it is empty. After the spectacle and tragedy of Rook's Rest, the show needs to breathe, reset the board, and ask what kind of war this has become now that dragons are fully in play. The strongest idea in the episode is that victory can still look like horror. The Greens technically won at Rook's Rest. They took the castle. Rhaenys and Meleys are dead. But Aegon is destroyed, the smallfolk are frightened, Criston Cole is shaken, and Alicent is losing the last pieces of control she thought she had. That is why the episode works better as fallout than forward explosion. It is not trying to top the dragon battle. It is trying to show what the dragon battle did to everyone left standing. The episode also does important structural work for Team Black. Rhaenyra cannot simply wait for Vhagar to dominate the battlefield. Jace's idea about finding other people with Targaryen blood gives the season a new tactical lane and turns the dragonseeds from background setup into the obvious next move. The weaker pieces are still the characters the show has been slowly seeding around the edges: Hugh, Alyn, Addam, Ulf, and the smallfolk threads. Some of that material is becoming clearer, especially with Hugh, but the show is still asking for investment before all of those people have fully earned it. Still, the craft is strong enough to carry the hour. Claire Kilner's direction, the sound design around Alicent's council scene, the editing between Rhaenyra and Daemon, and the horrifying physical reality of Aegon's wounds all make “Regent” feel more purposeful than a simple setup episode. Why Is The Episode Called “Regent”? The title “Regent” refers to Aemond becoming Prince Regent while Aegon is incapacitated. A regent rules in place of a monarch who cannot rule, either because the monarch is too young, absent, dead with an heir not yet ready, or — in this case — physically unable to govern. But the title also works because the episode is about who actually gets to rule once the fantasy of rightful succession meets reality. Aegon has the crown, but he is broken. Alicent has experience, but the council will not accept her authority. Aemond has Vhagar, discipline, and menace, so the room bends toward him. That makes “Regent” a title about power filling a vacuum. The war does not pause because Aegon is hurt. It simply chooses the next person ruthless enough to keep moving. Aemond Becomes Prince Regent Aemond's rise is the cleanest power move of the episode. He is quiet, controlled, and terrifyingly ready. He does not need to storm the room. He simply waits until the council's logic brings the crown's authority to him. The most important visual is Aemond taking the small council ball and placing it where the king would sit. It is casual, almost too casual, which makes it more unsettling. He already believes he should be the person making decisions. Now the room has caught up to him. What makes Aemond compelling is that he feels like a horror figure inside a political drama. He does not need to move quickly. He does not need to raise his voice. His stillness, eyepatch, posture, and silence all become part of the threat. That is why Blake is so in on Aemond as a character. He is not good. He has earned whatever comeuppance is coming. But as a piece of television, he has become one of the clearest engines on Team Green. Alicent Loses The Room She Helped Build Alicent's council scene is the heart of the episode. She believes she has a claim to rule as regent because she has experience, political knowledge, and years of service inside the system. But the men around her use the same argument that put Aegon on the throne to deny her power. They said Rhaenyra could not rule because she was a woman. Now Alicent discovers that the argument was never only about Rhaenyra. It was about women, power, and the rules men enforce when those rules benefit them. The direction and sound mixing make the scene land. As the men talk around Alicent, the sound narrows, her breathing becomes central, and the room turns into an emotional trap. She is sitting right there, being talked over, through, and around. That is why the scene works so well. Alicent is not innocent, but the humiliation is still real. She helped create the political logic that now erases her. Rhaenyra And Jace Start Looking For Dragonriders Team Black's most important development in “Regent” is the dragonrider problem. Rhaenyra has dragons, but not enough people who can ride them. Vhagar changes every military equation, and losing Rhaenys means Team Black has lost one of its most experienced riders. Jace becomes more than just Rhaenyra's son in this episode. He challenges her respectfully, takes initiative, negotiates with the Freys, and helps her think through the larger strategic problem. He is becoming a counselor and confidant, not just an heir. That leads to the ancestry question. If Targaryen blood is the key, then maybe the answer is not limited to the obvious royal family. Maybe there are people outside the immediate line who can claim dragons. This is where the season starts pointing hard toward the dragonseeds. Hugh, Ulf, Addam, and Alyn may still feel like slow-burn setup, but “Regent” makes the purpose of that setup much clearer. Hugh Hammer And The Smallfolk Food Thread Mary's “good” for the episode is food, and that is not a joke. The episode keeps showing food as a political pressure point. The smallfolk are hungry. The oranges are moldy. The soup is thin. Chickens and meat are expensive. The city feels squeezed. Meanwhile, the people at the top still have wine, tables, councils, and meat. Daemon can scoff at the food served at Harrenhal while ordinary people in King's Landing are desperate. That contrast matters because the war is not only being fought by dragonriders. It is being paid for by everyone underneath them. Hugh becomes more interesting in that context. He works. He has a sick child. He knows the machinery of war. He talks about dragons as meat while everyone else treats them like gods. And yes, his hair is clearly not an accident. Blake is not fully sold on Hugh yet because the show is still in setup mode. Mary, however, is all in. Hugh feels like someone who could matter because he lives closer to the cost of the war than the people making the war. Daemon At Harrenhal Gets Freakier Daemon's Harrenhal story continues to feel like its own strange horror movie. The castle, Alys Rivers, the weirwood imagery, the visions, and Daemon's own guilt all keep pressing on him. This episode pushes that weirdness into more uncomfortable territory with Daemon's vision of his mother, Alyssa. The scene is meant to be disturbing, but it is not only there for shock. It reveals Daemon's hunger to be chosen, loved, seen, and told that he should have mattered more than Viserys. That is the real engine underneath the weirdness. Daemon wants to be king because he still cannot separate love from power. He wants Rhaenyra, but he also resents her. He wants to serve, but he also wants to rule. Harrenhal keeps turning those contradictions into nightmares. The concern now is that the weird needs to start pushing the larger story forward. “Let's get weird” is always welcome, but the weird has to make Daemon do something. By the end of the episode, it does begin connecting back to the war when the Riverlords reject the brutality done in Rhaenyra's name. Alys Rivers Explained: Is She Helping Daemon Or Breaking Him? Alys Rivers remains one of the strangest figures in Season 2. She knows too much, appears at the right moments, gives Daemon things to drink, and seems completely comfortable inside Harrenhal's rot. The big question is whether Alys is causing Daemon's visions, guiding them, or simply watching what Harrenhal already does to people. The episode does not answer that cleanly, which is part of why she works. Mary and Blake both land on the idea that Alys is not simply Daemon's friend. She may be useful. She may be honest. She may even be right when she tells him things he does not want to hear. But there is no reason to trust that her goals and Daemon's goals are the same. By the end of the conversation, the best theory is also the simplest: creepy people belong together. If Aemond and Alys ever cross paths, the vibes may be absolutely cursed. Corlys, Baela, And The Driftmark Problem Corlys is grieving Rhaenys, but Mary is still not fully moved by him. The issue is not the actor or the grief. The issue is that the show keeps telling us Corlys is legendary without always showing enough of that legend in action. Baela's scene with Corlys helps because she is direct, grounded, and clear about who she is. He offers her Driftmark, but she reminds him that she is blood and fire. His heir needs to be of salt and sea. That answer matters because it keeps Baela tied to her own identity, not just the hole Corlys wants filled. She is not simply available to become the person he needs because his line is complicated. The problem, of course, is that Corlys' line is complicated because of choices he made. Alyn and Addam are clearly going to matter, and when that truth rises to the surface, it may change how Baela understands the story she has been told about her grandparents' love. Jace, The Freys, And The Twins Jace's meeting with the Freys gives the episode one of its best pieces of classic Westeros texture. The Twins matter because armies need to cross, and the North's support only matters if those forces can actually move toward the war. The Freys are instantly recognizable as Freys even generations before the Red Wedding. They are transactional, creepy, and very aware that their bridge gives them leverage. Jace offers protection and access to Harrenhal in exchange for support. It is a bold move, and it shows why he is becoming useful to Rhaenyra. He is not waiting around to be told what to do. He is acting like a future ruler. The question is whether those promises will come back to bite Team Black. If the Freys are taught that promises are disposable, this may be one of the places where the family becomes the family we know later. House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 5 Ending Explained The ending of “Regent” matters because it points the season toward the dragonseeds. Rhaenyra needs dragons, but dragons are not enough. She needs riders. Jace's idea reframes the problem. If there are people with Targaryen blood outside the immediate royal line, then the war may not be limited to the same old players. The solution may come from bastards, forgotten branches, and smallfolk who have been sitting on the edge of the story. That ending also makes the earlier Hugh, Addam, Alyn, and Ulf setup feel more purposeful. The show has been slowly placing these people around the board. Now we know why. For Team Green, the ending is just as important. Aemond is now in power. Alicent has been pushed aside. Aegon is alive but broken. Criston knows what dragon war really looks like. The Greens may have won Rook's Rest, but the victory has created a more dangerous ruler. What “Regent” Sets Up Next Episode 5 sets up the back half of Season 2 by making the war less about rightful claims and more about who can survive the consequences of power. Aemond becomes Prince Regent and now has the authority to match his ambition. Alicent realizes the system she protected will not protect her power. Aegon survives, but his body and kingship are permanently changed by Rook's Rest. Criston Cole is shaken by what he saw when dragons entered the battlefield. Rhaenyra begins looking beyond the obvious Targaryen line for dragonriders. Jace steps into a more active political and strategic role. Daemon keeps unraveling at Harrenhal as his visions expose what he really wants. Hugh, Addam, Alyn, and Ulf move closer to the center of the season's dragonseed question. The smallfolk become harder to ignore as hunger, fear, and resentment build in King's Landing.
