In King’s Landing

Larys tells Aegon that Rhaenyra has new dragonriders, and that Aemond in a rage, burned down the port city Sharp Point. Larys has moved Harrenhal’s gold reserves to Braavos’ Iron Bank. He urges Aegon to leave King’s Landing with him, returning after Aemond and Rhaenyra destroy each other. Larys believes the smallfolk will support Aegon after endless deprivation and fear.

Jasper Wylde informs Aemond of bastards leaving for Dragonstone. Aemond has all ships entering and departing King’s Landing inspected, though Jasper fears it disrupting the smallfolk’s fishing boats.

Following the recent riot at the sept, Helaena expresses confusion over the smallfolk’s hostility. Alicent explains that the crown is expected to break the blockade. When Helaena says she was happier before being queen, Alicent asks if she wants to leave King’s Landing. Aemond wants Helaena to ride Dreamfyre into battle but she refuses, infuriating him. Alicent admonishes him and also his acts at Sharp Point.

Later, Aemond again tries to persuade Helaena to fight. She refuses, telling Aemond she mystically saw what he did at Rook’s Rest. Aemond accuses her of treason; Helaena discloses foreseeing Aemond’s death and the war and that Aegon will be king again. Aemond rejects her claims and says he could kill her; Helaena says it would not change anything.

At night, Alicent visits Grand Maester Orwyle for help getting passage to Dragonstone.

He also presses Rhaenyra to strike while she has the advantage. Rhaenyra says she hoped the new riders could’ve deterred war, but Corlys reminds her that Greens still have dragons besides Vhagar and that their armies are on the move. He also mentions Daemon’s unrevealed loyalties.

At Harrenhal

Helaena also appears, stating that he now knows the full story and role.

Rhaenyra and Addam arrive at Harrenhal on dragonback, panicking locals. Rhaenyra confronts Daemon as the Riverlords watch. Speaking in High Valyrian, Daemon reveals his knowledge of the Song of Ice and Fire and reaffirms his loyalty to her, causing Alfred to bend his knee but later walk away.

Rhaenyra doubts her path to victory, fearing it will lead to countless deaths. Mysaria comforts her, stating that Rhaenyra is just and must not let the realm fall to the power-hungry.

At night, Rhaenyra is awakened and finds Alicent has arrived alone. Alicent admits to her faults and offers to leave King’s Landing open for capture as long as Rhaenyra allows Alicent and her children to leave quietly.
