This House of the Dragon season 2 episode 4 recap contains spoilers. Wow! When this Game of Thrones spin-off first flapped on to the horizon many years ago, we all dreamed of spectacular episodes like this and after waiting patiently for 13 episodes, we're finally getting what we signed up for.
The Dragon battle in the skies over Rook's Rest was an awesome sight to behold, yet it was also the icing on the cake of a superb episode, in which we saw inexorable power shifts on both sides of the divide. In Dragonstone, Queen Rhaenyra finally found her voice, while in King's Landing, authority poured through Aegon's hands and towards a menacing Aemond.
