House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 2 Recap and Thoughts By Welcome back, fellow Gold Cloaks, to our House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 2 recap. Last week was mostly of what happened in Season 1, followed swiftly by the horrific death of King Aegon’s son Jaehaerys at the behest of Daemon. Granted, Daemon was trying to fulfill the wishes of Rhaenayra when she asked for the head of Aemond, the boy who accidentally killed her son Luke.
Then again, Daemon does not seem to care much beyond starting a war and uses his wife’s pain to stoke the flames further. Well, he certainly got everyone’s attention at King’s Landing. Will this episode push the Greens and Blacks closer to war? Or will everyone continue to linger in their castles, hoping things just sort of work themselves out? At this point, I’m with Daemon— let’s get this done! What happened in the House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 2 House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 2 opens with chaos.
The King’s Guard runs through the streets searching for the murderers; Aegon smashes that kick-ass model Viserys spent his whole life building while shouting, “I declare war!” Aemond snoops around and finds the open passageway leading to his chambers. Everyone is affected. Alicent worries about her daughter, but Otto, the clever marketer, sees this as an opportunity to draw more aid to their cause.
Moments later, Aegon holds an awkward council, tossing his rage at anyone in sight. Luckily, Larys arrives with good news.
