Every Monday, a new episode of Season 3 of House of the Dragon is released. In the following spoiler article, MeinMMO summarizes what happens in Episode 4.
Attention: The following article spoils the plot of Episode 4 of Season 3 of House of the Dragon.
Just because Rhaenyra has finally conquered the throne doesn’t mean her worries are over. As revealed at the end of the last episode, she was tricked by Ormund Hohenturm. The Daeron she captured is not the real one.
Episode 4 now shows the other side, how Rhaenyra’s enemies continue to act and how they try to keep fighting against Team Black.
We will summarize how things really stand with Team Green after the video.
A whole city held hostage
What is happening with Ormund? To protect himself from Rhaenyra’s wrath, Ormund has taken refuge with his army in Stolperstadt. Just like the saying goes: Rhaenyra can’t burn countless innocents.
It seems Ormund planned it this way. While he leisurely bathes, he makes it clear to the nobility of Stolperstadt once 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 the Master of Coin. He impressed her at the Rats-Bankett. Lord Corlys, on the other hand, has no desire to attend the council as Hand anymore. Therefore, he wants his son Alyn to be there in his place.
The episode finally also shows more of the escape of Aegon II and Lord Larys. 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 also seen again. They arrive in Harrenhal looking for Aemond and Vhagar. However, they only encounter Alys Rivers. They learn that Aemond fled and, even more shockingly, that Rhaenyra has conquered King’s Landing.
Aegon in filth and despair
What’s next for Aegon and Larys? The two fugitives continue their journey, trying to hide their true identity. As apparent beggars, they arrive in the city where the carcass of dragon Meleys has landed after Vhagar killed it.
Larys tries to find accommodation, and they encounter a group of ruffians who seemingly have the say 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 cleaning and later attacks the ruffian leader. Unfortunately, this doesn’t help much. He is threatened with a knife and has to kneel in shame.
Back in Stolperstadt, it is seen 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 settle this. He punishes his soldier and seems to be merciful. In all this, he tries to teach Daeron something.
Meanwhile, Daemon is in the Vale and speaks with Lady Jeyne Arryn to obtain gold. Just before his departure, Daemon finds his daughter Rhaena with a sheep thief in a cave. He tries to persuade her to come before Rhaenyra, but she wants to stay in exile. She begs her father not to betray her. He brings the head of a shepherd and deceives Rhaenyra: This is the skull responsible for Jace’s death – she is not satisfied with that.
In King’s Landing, Rhaenyra allows Hugo to fly with Ulf to Stolperstadt to observe the city. However, Rhaenyra learns beforehand that certain people in the city seem to be against her. On a wall, Queen of Bastards
was written. She asks her guards to find those who did this and remove such sayings. The guards do so in a harsh manner.
At the end of the episode, it is seen that Ormund is not as nice as previously shown. He forces the brother of Hugo’s wife to Daeron, whom he had previously philosophized to. He gets Daeron to kill the man. In the end, he orders his small dragon to burn the corpse.
