In the prior episode, we have witnessed the conclusion of the fight at Rook’s Rest where Aemond defeated Rhaenys and the death of Meleys putting the greens on the winning side. However, the Blacks are not taking it lying down, and Rhaenyra is more than eager to gather her forces by seeking out other Targaryen half-castes that have draconic potential. The preview for the House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 6 suggests that these “dragon seeds” will be introduced in the next episode and the trials they go through while they are trying to overthrow the unclaimed dragons on Dragonstone. Still, the greens’ tension remains high due to Daemon’s activities in the Riverlands, and Alicent searches for an opportunity to close the gap with Aemond.
In the situation where the Battle of Rook’s Rest has occurred, the realm is uncontrollable. King Aegon II is breathing his last, his survival doubtful, while Corlys Velaryon mourns the death of his wife, Rhaenys. In King’s Landing, the head of Rhaenys’ dragon, Meleys, is displayed in the streets so that the smallfolk should be reminded of the dragons’ might and feel uneasy. Ned also sees the dragon’s condition and realizes the serious risk that Aegon, his betrothed, and all of them are in now. Queen Alicent Hightower and Prince Aemond watch from the Red Keep. When treated at Aegon’s request, it is determined that the wound is grave and the Valyrian armor has become fused with his body. No one in the series knows whether the king will ever get better, least of all Grand Maester Orwyle. Categorically, Aemond does not beat about the bush to assert that there will be a need for someone to assume the mantel of kingship in Aegon’s absence to nurture the idea of a power struggle.

Theon is also in Dragonstone to bury Rhaenyra, though she is still wary of what the Greens are planning next. Her council member, Ser Alfred, is making rather sexist comments regarding women’s ignorance in combat, to which Rhaenyra cuts him short. Rhaenyra is greeted by Ser Simon Strong, who is asking for gold for Harrenhal since Larys has removed all the remaining gold for King’s Landing. This irritates Rhaenyra, as she is more keen on raising her armies’ strength than bending the knee for her father.

At the same time, Daemon remains an irritant for the Greens though his activities take place in the Riverlands. The preview involves Ser Criston Cole and Prince Regent Aemond worrying about Daemon’s capability to gather the rest of the families to support Rhaenyra. However, Aemond in part orbicularly, seems to be ready to face his uncle Daemon of Montserrat, who had once tried to murder him. In negotiating with Aemond, Alicent seems to have little chance as the boy is obsessed with his strength and the future danger Daemon poses.

It also shows a preview of Rhaenyra’s willingness to fight and make herself the rightful queen of the kingdoms. To gain men, she overemphasizes that she must be both the ‘sword and the ‘shield’ for her people. The brief shot of destruction in King’s Landing and Rhaenyra being in the dragon pit implies that she may directly get involved in the fight soon and possibly even ride Syrax to assert her dominance. The preview also briefly mentions the unknown future of King Aegon II who is still in critical condition after the Battle of Rook’s Rest. Alicent is seen caring for her young son, while Aemond seems to be plotting something very ill towards the boy. Altogether, the preview for House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 6 suggests an exciting and epic episode for obvious reasons Rhaenyra tries to strengthen forces, daemon runs around the Riverlands, and another internal power struggle in the Greens.
