What doth it do Bros? Welcome back to Westeros for the third episode of House of the Dragon season 2. In part one of this episode, the realm is uneasy as war is beginning to seem inevitable. The Brackens and The Blackwoods square of in the Riverland's resulting in a massive battle, setting the stage for the importance of the region. Ser Criston Cole prepares for his first day as hand of the king and wouldn't ya know it, he is not prepared or equipped for the role AND he's late to his first meeting. Rhaenys informs Rhaenyra there may be on way to avoid war and that is her speaking directly with Alicent in an attempt to reason with her. Aegon teases the possibility of riding into war himself to prove that he's "a man"... Mysaria joins Rhaenyra's council. Meanwhile Rhaenyra sends all of her young children away with Rhaena along with 4 dragon eggs. Daemon makes it to Harrenhall and Ser Simon Strong swears fealty to Rhaenyra giving them rule over the region. Criston Cole avoids his duties as hand of the king and rides off into war with Gwayne, Alicent's brother. We see Rhaenys and Corlys discussing getting their own house in order as it seems more and more evident that war is finally upon us... All that and more in part 1 of our 2 part recap of HoTD!!
