House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 7 Recap With Spoilers; Everything You Missed

The struggles in King’s Landing

1. This episode finds King’s Landing in an uproar, as its residents are unhappy and desperate to escape the Red Keep due to hunger and growing dissatisfaction towards Aemond and Aegon II. The council is entangled in internal power disputes, adding fuel to the unrest. With Otto Hightower and Queen Alicent away, there seems to be a void of decisive leadership. (149 characters)

1. King Aemond the One-Eyed finds it challenging to keep a firm grip on his rule. People’s faith in him and Aegon II is diminishing. In contrast, Daemon Targaryen experiences success at Harrenhal. After being plagued by disturbing dreams, he gains insight and forges an alliance with Lord Tully to garner backing from the Riverlands for Rhaenyra’s cause.

The dragon pit showdown

1. In this episode, the dragon lair emerges as the central scene, as characters make daring moves to capture a dragon. The consequences are severe: either claim a dragon or face being its next victim. Addam from Hull aims to be a dragon rider and finds an ally for Rhaenyra when Seasmoke, the dragon, selects him, strengthening Team Black.

As Addam thrives, however, the fortunes of others falter. Rhaenyra, portrayed by Emma D’Arcy, is on a mission to enlist dragon riders. Regrettably, most dragon hunters in King’s Landing encounter a tragic end, meeting their demise at the hands of Vermithor, one of Westeros’ largest dragons.

A fiery experiment

1. In an unexpected turn of events, numerous individuals seeking to conquer Vermithor, the fiercely tempered dragon, sadly lose their lives during the attempt. Amidst this turmoil, however, there arises a glimmer of hope as aspiring dragon riders make their presence known. Hugh, a blacksmith burdened by his ailing daughter’s health, seizes the opportunity and claims Vermithor, hoping that the dragon will aid him in forging a brighter future.

1. In a small town, there’s a man named Ulf, who claims Targaryen lineage. He seeks to solidify this heritage by forming an alliance with Silverwing. This bond could bolster Rhaenyra’s dragon powers, making her stronger in the struggle against her adversaries.

The challenges of Team Green

As Team Black gains power, Team Green encounters major obstacles. In King’s Landing, Aemond finds it hard to keep order. The city’s fortifications are feeble, making it simple for Rhaenyra’s agents to sneak in. Aemond tries to enforce regulations, yet this just worsens the predicament. When Ulf flies Silverwing carelessly over King’s Landing, Aemond leaps into action to secure Vhagar, a powerful dragon.

As Aemond’s mother, Alicent, ponders her place in this dangerous predicament, she finds herself growing more and more detached. She seeks solace in the tranquility of the woods for thought. When queried about her plans to return to the city, she expresses doubt, “I’m not certain I ever will.”
