We start with a confrontation between Rhenerya and Addam with two dragons squaring off and one bending the knee. Rhenerya returns with Addam to Dragonstone and wants to instruct him in High Valyrian — over the concerns of her council and her son. In Harrenhal Daemon gets schooled in politics by the 14-year-old Oscar Tully who pledges the Rivermen to his cause. Back in King’s Landing Alicent decides to go camping and no one wants to be honest with Prince Regent Aemond. Returning to Dragonsone, the Targaryen bastards converge to claim Vermithor and Silverwing and we finally get the Dragonseeds Rollins has been waiting for. Aemond see the Silverwing joy ride and almost takes Dragonstone before he realizes he’s a deadman.
