House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 4 Recap?
The episode started with Daemon Targaryen in Harrenhal having visions of a young girl Rhaenyra Targaryen. He decapitated the vision in what could be considered a brutal scene at night to be greeted by news of Aegon’s expanding rule. Daemon tried to intimidate Lord Tully’s representative and to threaten him into providing him with an army; however, the confrontation did not turn out well. It was discovered that Daemon’s visions were due to a woman by the name of Alys Rivers, a bastard of House Strong practicing as a master. She tries to dissuade Daemon from going to Harrenhal because she said it was cursed, to which Daemon mirthfully says, “I seek the counsel of a witch” before downing the potion she offered him. This made him find himself seated in a council meeting though he had no idea that is where he was or how he got there.
It was here in Driftmark that Rhaenys Targaryen first encountered Alyn of Hull, Addam of Hull’s brother. She also told her husband Corlys about who the dragon seeds are and implied that, despite hiding in the shadows, they are most definitely not well concealed. Rhaenyra Targaryen went back to Dragonstone, where she held a war council with her sons, specifically Baelor and Jacaerys. They talked about their strategies for the war and their goals, and Rhaenyra said that she tried to persuade Alicent Hightower to not go to war during her visit to King’s Landing.
Ser Criston Cole went on to gather more men for House Aegon, burning the buildings and decapitating the persons he considered rebellious. He informed Aemond Targaryen of his movements much to the angered of Aegon. They then focused on Rook’s rest possibly because it was the only inhabited place that was within their reach. The acrid relations between Alicent Hightower and Otto Hightower were well depicted, the latter being in denial maybe from an unwanted pregnancy due to a dalliance with Criston Cole. Larys Strong provided her with no support as she accepted her condition and the approaching conflict. Here she turns a deaf ear at the details she had gathered claiming that “The importance of Viserys’ motives pertinent to the malevolent act belongs in the past, in death.”
