At this point in House of the Dragon, the highs are high and the lows are very low. While Ormund Hightower is getting merch made and executing City Watch officers from a distance, Ser Criston Cole and Ser Gwayne Hightower are trudging through the forest, covered in mud and getting discouraged.
The all-out fighting is taking a break, especially since Rhaenyra has the Iron Throne and Vhagar, the Blacks’ only remaining veteran dragon, is nowhere to be seen. But just because there aren’t any dragon fights in this episode, that doesn’t mean things aren’t changing. In fact, this may have been the most seismic episode of the season. But as party lines are drawn, where does everyone fall?
