Recapping House Of The Dragon Season 2, Episode 5
& What To Expect From House Of The Dragon Season 2, Episode 6
House of the Dragon season 2 episode 5 mostly deals with the fallout of the Battle of Rook’s Rest, including Rhaenys’ death and Aegon’s injuries. The Greens parade Meleys’ decapitated head through the streets of King’s Landing, though instead of it having the desired effect, the smallfolk see it as an ill omen. Aegon is still alive, though he is severely burned and battered. The majority of the small council decides that Aemond, as Aegon’s heir and a formidable dragon rider, should serve as King in his stead.
In episode 5, many political machinations also occur in the fallout of the Battle of Rook’s Rest. In the Riverlands, Daemon authorizes the Blackwoods to initiate a campaign of unspeakable violence against the Brackens as a persuasive tactic. Meanwhile, Aemond’s first order of business is to shut the gates of King’s Landing, which is also sure to sow unrest amongst the smallfolk. Jace treats with the Freys at the Twins for their support, and upon returning to Dragonstone, he reminds Rhaenyra of the riderless dragons on the island.
