Daemon's Mom Has Got it Going On (Part 1 of 2) (House of The Dragon s02ep05 Full Recap)

What's up Bros? In part 1 of our recap, the cast is dealing with the loss of Rhaenys. Corlys finds himself alone at Driftmark, Rhaenyra struggles with allowing those around her to fight her battles. The smallfolk in Kings Landing are facing food shortages and a bad omen as Criston Cole continues to suck and parades a decapitated dragon head through the streets of Kings Landing. Aegon appears to be alive but only barely and the Iron Throne sits vacant for the time being. Criston Cole is struggling to find his way after realizing just how irrelevant he and other foot soldiers are when it comes to dragon war. Rhaenyra feels as though her council is not following her and is doing her best to maintain control over her people. Jace flies to the Frey after frustration boils over from him not being able to contribute to the fight and ends up enlisting the Frey's at the Twins in exchange for Harrenhall. Meanwhile, Daemon sets the Blackwoods on house Bracken to get them to fall in line in an attempt to gain a toehold in the Riverland's.
