Criston proposes a bold plan to conquer Harrenhal, but Daemon arrives there early and secures the loyalty of the defenders. Daemon has a vision of young Rhaenyra sewing Jaehaerys' head back onto his body. He wakes up and an unknown woman predicts his death.Protecting the House Targaryen
Rhaenyra sends her younger children (Joffrey, Aegon, and Viserys) along with the dragon eggs to the Arryns so that they will be protected and can continue the House Targaryen if the Black Ones fall. Mysaria becomes Rhaenyra's mentor, while Aegon appoints Laryse as his master in a whisper.The Mysterious Man in the Brothel
A man appears in the brothel, claiming to be the half-brother of King Viserys. When Aegon and his retinue bring the new squire to the brothel to lose his virginity, he meets naked Aemond there and mocks him; Aemond angrily leaves.Baela's Sighting
Baela, patrolling on the dragon's back, spots Criston leading a scouting party with Alicia's brother Gwayn. After Baela's report of the sighting of Criston, Rhaenyra's councillors propose a war with the dragons.Rhaenyra's meeting with Alicent
Instead, Rhaenyra sneaks into King's Landing disguised as a septa, and speaks with Alicent, who claims that nothing will resolve the conflict. Rhaenyra realizes that Alicent has misunderstood King Viserys's last words about the prophecy of the "Song of Ice and Fire"; Alicent has mistaken her son Aegon for the prophesied Aegon the Conqueror.
