Every episode of House of the Dragon Season 3 has pushed Westeros deeper into chaos, and Episode 6 looks set to continue that momentum. With enemies closing in, kingdoms preparing for war and the Dance of the Dragons nearing another crucial milestone, the stakes have never been higher.
What Happened in Episode 5?
Episode 5 saw tensions escalate across Westeros. At Harrenhal, Alys Rivers helped Aemond Targaryen recover before he rescued her from bounty hunters. Aegon II clashed with Larys Strong, killed the man who had humiliated him, and Tyland Lannister arrived at Rook's Rest.
Elsewhere, Addam Velaryon and Baela Targaryen searched for Aemond and Vhagar, while Criston Cole's plan to stop Oscar Tully's army failed, prompting Gwayne Hightower to abandon him.
In King's Landing, Alicent failed to persuade Helaena to end her pregnancy and stopped Mysaria from revealing the secret to Rhaenyra. The two later became trapped while escaping through a hidden passage.
Meanwhile, Daemon Targaryen uncovered Ormund Hightower's role in the City Watch murders and learned he had declared Daeron Targaryen king. The episode ended with Daemon discovering more murdered guards, underscoring the war's growing brutality.
