In the breathtaking finale of *House of the Dragon* season 2, fans are treated to a series of dramatic and unexpected events that promise an even more intense third season. This episode, brimming with revelations and character developments, sets the stage for the bloody Targaryen civil war, known as the Dance of the Dragons, to truly begin. Although it may not have had a moment as shocking as Aemond Targaryen's killing of Lucerys Velaryon from season 1, it still packed a punch with pivotal scenes that will undoubtedly have lasting implications.
Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower reunite on Dragonstone, Daemon Targaryen has a vision of Daenerys Targaryen and then re-pledges his loyalty to Rhaenyra, King Aegon II Targaryen is smuggled out of King's Landing by Larys Strong, and, across Westeros, various armies are marching to war. There's a lot to unpack, and a lot to be excited about for House of the Dragon season 3.
