HOUSE OF THE DRAGON Season 2 Episode 4 Ending Explained

I review, breakdown and explain House of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 4. I discuss the HBO show which is a spin off from Game of Thrones and the ending which was focussed Rhaenys’ death, Aemond and Vhagar going after Aegon, Ser Criston Cole discovering the king, and I answer if Aegon is still alive. I react to other moments such as Alicent and Larys conversation, the importance of Daemon’s visions and what it means. I also give my theories and predictions on episode 4.

THAT ENDING! What did you think of this episode? Let me know your thoughts below!

[fila]

Daemon playing haunted castle is getting...annoying

[Kevin.Costner.]

Bran Stark watching all of this🧑‍🦽‍➡️♿️🍿

[captainziggy]

Princess Rhaenys, forever in our hearts, The queen who never was died FEARLESSLY, in fire and blood

[alchemy]

The little nudge Sunfyre gave Aegon II in the pit, and then how he landed on his wounded underside and coiled his tail around Aegon to protect him even when burned to a crisp summed up their relationship pretty well. It's a shame we never saw more of Sunfyre, but I kinda feel like the writers thought showing their bond would make Aegon become way too sympathetic to the viewers. But these little signs and details are still great.

1:28 Actually if you watched GOT's behind the scenes for this episode. The actor who plays Aemond said he basically assassinated his brother at the council. So the intent of speaking in high valerian wasn't mercy, but to expose Aegon's deficiencies, in both language and war tactics, in order humiliate him in front of the entire class so to speak.

[filmbrat]

i truly can’t remember the last time an episode of television had my heart racing like this one. i knew what was coming for rhaenys and it didn’t ruin the suspense or thrill at all. definitely the best episode in the series so far

(series as in specifically HOTD, not franchise overall lol)

At the end Meleys was all Rheneys had. The queen that never was died with her most loyal friend.

[panzerWLF]

Rhaenys should have flown back to Dragonstone after taking out the king and his dragon as well as burning a good chunk of the attacking army. She had a chance for a tactical retreat. Her and her dragon are a huge asset for the war effort. Trading one small keep for the king and his dragon seems good in a war of attrition with limited dragons. She would have also brought back good intel for a counter attack.

[SoldierSpiderx]

Aegon literally drinking and driving his dragon, he deserved this but Sunfyre did not and The fact that Rhaenys got taken out by her daughter's dragon and didn’t think her death would make me emotional like that damn. Just the bond portrayed between her and her dragon was emotional asf.

[stevechen]

i love how they introduced the dragon seatbelt that will play a big roll at the gods eye!!

[PrettyTigerlilly]

I don't remember events happening this fast in the books. I thought these things would happen in the last episode or next season, things are ramping up for sure!

[mustlovebooknerd]

This interpretation of Rhaenys's story, motivations, and emotions is wildly off base. She wasn't drifting away from Corlys, she showed no signs of feeling guilty for not killing the Greens (she literally said "this wasn't my war to start" and she appreciated Rhaenya going to see Alicent to "attempt to pull us back from the abyss"). She volunteers to go to Rook's Rest because she knows she's the only one who can. She's the only dragonrider who isn't the queen, her heir, or her granddaughter (or a literal child, in Joffrey's case). She knows it has to be her because she's the only one who is expendable and she turned back to fight because she was a warrior and she knew she had to TRY to take out the Greens only battle-ready dragons. She also wasn't detached from reality and the look on her face as she died wasn't peace, it was deep sorrow at the death of her dragon and her own death that she knew was about to come. Also, I'd guess, a bit of guilt that she wasn't able to take out Vhagar and that she won't be able to continue to fight for Rhaenyra.

Alicent unintentionally motivated her son king to go fight. I would say she played a significant role in this episode.

[sanvalentine]

I knew it was coming since I read the books, but it was still heartbreaking…

[richj]

Alison was looking in the library for the prophecy but did not know it was in front of her on Agoen's dagger.

[ceciliaSF-TX]

Losing The Queen That Never Was was truly saddening. She was one of the few truly honorable people in this show.
RIP.
Btw, the actress was fabulous.

[landismithCOJ]

Corlys is definitely choosing violence now.

[markpjf]

This episode is what you call Shakespearean similar to Macbeth but with dragons visions a great episode 🐉🔥🩸💀5 ⭐️ 👏👏

[LesegoArnold]

She has the fastest dragon in whole 100kingdoms, fleeing with Meleys was an option, but great job for starting this war on a high note🔥🔥🔥🔥
