The latest episode of House of the Dragon resets the power scales between Team Green and Team Black in a major way. Though both sides took heavy losses in Season 2’s first big battle at Rook’s Rest, the Greens have always had a huge advantage in the form of Vhagar, the world’s largest dragon. The Blacks, meanwhile, have plenty of dragons at their disposal, but no riders for them. Princess Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) takes desperate measures in Episode 7, matching her riderless dragons with Targaryen bastards. That risk pays off: when the dust finally settles, Rhaenyra has six dragons ready for battle... and one more could be on the way.
