That's what you get for hiring a rat-catcher and an ex-butcher to do the royal family's bidding. Daemon may not have seen any issue with assassinating six-year-old Jaehaerys, son and heir to King Aegon, in place of Aemond, but it's weakened the cause of Rhaenyra and the Black Council, and unified their opponents. House of the Dragon season 2 episode 2 airs on HBO and Max (7-day free trial) on Sunday, June 23. The series is shown on Crave in Canada, Sky in the UK, and Binge and Foxtel in Australia.

Having been uncharacteristically humane in the season-opener, King Aegon's heart is now steeled for all-out-war. And regardless of how Rhaenyra felt about Daemon's secret scheme, she knows that if her forces don't mobilise now, they'll be obliterated.

The contrast between Helaena's agony and Alicent and Criston's ecstasy hints at potential discontent in the Green ranks, as does the inaction of the maid that saw Blood and Cheese sneaking around the Red Keep.

The Lord Commander of the Kingsguard has some making up to do, and he has his eyes set on Harrenhal as a strategic stronghold. Aemond, meanwhile, believes that armies could be as effective as dragons in the war, but it's Rhaenyra that looks set to benefit from Jacaerys' relationship with Cregan Stark.
