Just because Rhaenyra has finally taken the throne does not mean her worries are over. As it turned out at the end of the last episode, she was tricked by Ormund Hohenturm. The Daeron she has captured is not the real one.

A whole city held hostage

What is actually going on with Ormund? To protect himself from Rhaenyra’s wrath, Ormund has taken refuge in Stolper Stadt with his army. According to the motto: Rhaenyra can’t burn countless innocents.

It seems Ormund planned it this way. While he is comfortably bathing, he makes it clear to the nobility of Stolper Stadt again that she is just a whore with a dragon. However, Ormund promises them that his soldiers will behave. The real Daeron is with him.

Meanwhile, Rhaenyra is considering how to get Ormund out of there. To focus on this, she appoints Ser Torrhen Manderly as Master of Coin. He impressed her at the Rat Banquet. Lord Corlys, meanwhile, is no longer interested in attending the council as Hand. Therefore, he wants to see his son Alyn there instead.

The episode finally shows more of Aegon II’s and Lord Larys’s escape. The two have traveled to the carcass of Sunfire, and Aegon is mourning, but he also believes that the dragon is not dead yet.

Ser Criston, his army, and Ser Gawan Hohenturm are once again seen. They arrive in Harrenhal and search for Aemond and Vhagar. However, they only encounter Alys Rivers there. They learn that Aemond has fled and, even more shockingly, that Rhaenyra has taken King’s Landing.

Aegon in filth and despair

What is next for Aegon and Larys? The two fugitives continue their journey and try to hide their true identities. As supposed beggars, they arrive in the town where the carcass of dragon Meleys has landed after Vhagar killed it.

Larys tries to find accommodation, and they come across a group of ruffians who seem to be in charge there. Larys offers them gold, but they force the two to work. While Larys can use his knowledge, Aegon has to swallow his pride and clean the toilet holes. Aegon struggles with the task and later confronts the leader of the ruffians. Unfortunately, this does not help much. He is threatened with a knife and has to kneel in shame.

Back in Stolper Stadt, it becomes clear that Ormund’s soldiers are not behaving well. One harasses the wife of Hugo, and a fight breaks out with her brother. Ormund is supposed to intervene. He punishes his soldier and seems to be merciful. Despite all this, he tries to teach Daeron something.

Meanwhile, Daemon is in the Vale and talks with Lady Jeyne Arryn to procure gold. Just before his departure, Daemon finds his daughter Rhaena with a sheep thief in a cave. He wants to persuade her to go before Rhaenyra, but she wants to remain in exile. She asks her father not to betray her. He brings back the head of a shepherd and deceives Rhaenyra: this is the skull responsible for the death of Jace – she is not satisfied with this.

In King’s Landing, Rhaenyra permits Hugo to fly to Stolper Stadt with Ulf to observe the city. Before, Rhaenyra learns that certain people in the city seem to be against her. On a wall, Queen of Bastards was written. She asks her guard to find the people who did this and to remove such slogans. The guards do so in a harsh manner.
