The final sequence of House of the Dragon Episode 5 is the Game of Thrones prequel’s most purely stressful to date. After all of the show’s principal characters are brought together for a feast intended to celebrate Rhaenyra Targaryen’s (Milly Alcock) engagement to Laenor Velaryon (John Macmillan), the episode sees everything get thrown into chaos when Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel) decides to kill a perceived adversary in the middle of the Red Keep’s throne room.
