HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel series is back for its second season and in the sixth episode, both Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy) and Alicent (Olivia Cooke) find themselves in impossible situations. The Blacks need more dragon riders and enlist Stefan Darklyn (Anthony Flanagan) to attempt to claim Seasmoke. When this goes horribly wrong Rhaenyra fears they’re running out of options.

For the Greens, Alicent is asked to step down from the Small Council now that her son Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) has been named Prince Regent. His brother King Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney) regains consciousness and swears he doesn’t remember what happened at Rook’s Rest, but Aemond instructs the maesters to keep him heavily sedated. The Regent sends Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel) and Ser Gwayne Hightower (Freddie Fox) and their host to Harrenhal while ordering the Lannisters to attack from the West.

The Blacks' King Consort Daemon (Matt Smith) has a dream with his brother King Viserys (Paddy Considine) that deals with his regrets from the past. This is followed up by a plea for help to Alys Rivers (Gayle Rankin) who has been sent to assist with the care of Grover Tully at Riverrun. After he has a second dream that seems to help him find peace with his internal conflicts he gets news that Grover Tully has passed which opens the door for him to recruit an army in the Riverlands.

While the Blacks first attempt to find a new dragon rider in episode 6 fails at Dragonstone, they do have success in winning the smallfolk over to their side by sending boats filled with food to King’s Landing. This was orchestrated by Mysaria (Sonoya Mizuno) who spends the episode getting closer to the Black Queen and their relationship gets romantic in the closing moments.

Addam of Hull (Clinton Liberty) is surprised when the dragon Seasmoke starts chasing him on Driftmark. At the end of the episode Rhaenyra and Mysaria learn that the dragon’s been claimed and the Queen goes out on Syrax to see if the Greens have gained another dragon for their arsenal.
