On episode 2 of 'House of the Dragon' season 2, the quest for revenge between the Greens and Blacks continues. Read our recap.
As a maid rushes bloodied bed linens from Prince Jaehaerys’ nursery, chaos reigns in the Red Keep. Aegon howls, “I’ll kill them! I’ll kill them all!” as he destroys the model of King’s Landing his father, Viserys, spent so many hours building. Whether he’s mourning for the boy or not, he knows such a deadly strike on his house shows his weakness as king. “Traitors and villains! They dare strike at me! I am the King! This is war! I declare war!” he bellows as his servants try to calm him down.
Otto explains to the king that “Jaehaerys will do more for us now than a thousand knights in battle.” The crime is so horrendous that the realm will rally to their side. He proposes they give the young prince a funeral procession worthy of a Targaryen so the smallfolk can see what Rhaenyra’s treachery has wrought. Alicent and Helaena will follow behind the body because “the realm must see the sorrow of the crown, a sorrow best expressed through its most gentle souls.
Otto invokes the much-missed wisdom and forbearance of Aegon’s father, Viserys. When Aegon points out his father made him king, Otto snarls back, “Is that what you think?” For this insolence, Aegon strips Otto of his office and makes Criston Hand of the King in his place. Though Daemon left Dragonstone in a huff, Mysaria still remains and is brought before Rhaenyra to answer for her participation in the Blood and Cheese plot, which she disavows. Rhaenyra soon discovers that Mysaria was Daemon’s intended bride those long years ago when he stole a dragon egg for his supposed son. Despite that fact, Rhaenyra realizes that Mysaria has been surviving on her wits in this harsh realm and earns her grudging respect.
