It has to be said that the first episode of season 2 is off to a flying start. After the events at the end of season 1 of House of the Dragon. The Black Queen's clan, Rhaenyra, strikes back at the start of season 2. An alliance with the Starks is forged, with the promise of sending some of the Night's Watch and Winterfell men to fight alongside Rhaenyra. At the same time, Lord Velaryon sets up a blockade to prevent King's Landing from receiving goods by sea.

At the same time, tensions begin to emerge between King Aegon and Otto Hightower, who is both his grandfather and the King's Hand. Aegon is impulsive, but ready to respond to the demands of the suffering people. When Otto Hightower seeks to measure and control him, inviting him to think more carefully about his actions. The result is tension, which Larys Strong intends to put to good use by turning the king against his grandfather.

Absent for much of the episode, Rhaenyra mourns the death of her son Lucerys, killed by her uncle Aemond. Furious, she demands revenge and wishes the death of her half-brother. Daemon travels to King's Landing to find a mercenary. He asks him "to find and kill Prince Aemond Targaryen. But the mercenary doesn't find his target at the Red Keep and finally decides to kill one of the Targaryen princes. Probably on the orders of Daemon, who asked for "a son for a son" when the mercenaries asked him what they would do in Aemond's absence. They then beheaded Aegon and Helaena's eldest son, Jaehaerys.

By sleeping with Ser Criston Cole, Alicent Hightower reclaims her sexuality. Let's not forget, she was forced to marry King Viserys. As such, she was forced to fulfill her "duty" as a wife.
