In the latest episode of House of the Dragon, airing at 9pm on Sky Atlantic, the fallout from the thunderous Battle of the Gullet—a clash of warships and dragons—continues to shape the narrative. Season three of the Game of Thrones prequel has already claimed a significant number of main cast casualties, along with hundreds of bystanders caught in the crossfire. Having sacrificed so much to claim the Iron Throne, Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) now faces the challenge of defining her leadership amid widespread unrest across the kingdom, according to Graeme Virtue.
