Rhaenyra's army struggles to reach Tumbleton after Criston Cole kills one of her lords and burns the bridges behind him, forcing them off course. At Harrenhal, Aemond is shaken and vulnerable after his dragon Vhagar flies off on her own, but Alys Rivers protects him, and he later kills a group of bounty hunters who track her down. In King's Landing, Alicent tries to force a pregnant Helaena to take a remedy that would end the pregnancy, but Helaena refuses, and when Mysaria grows suspicious, Alicent lies and drinks the remedy herself to cover her tracks.
Rhaenyra senses something is wrong even as Gold Cloaks keep turning up murdered, but Daemon dismisses her fears. It turns out Ormund Hightower is secretly behind the killings, using coded messages, while also grooming young Daeron to become a rival king. At Rook's Rest, Larys Strong bluntly tells a broken Aegon II that he was a terrible king and a terrible man. Daemon eventually tortures a prisoner and learns Ormund has crowned Daeron. That same night, Alicent and Helaena get trapped in a dead-end passage while trying to escape the castle, and Daemon discovers his men murdered and posed around a table with ‘A Feast for Traitors’ written in blood, confirming that Rhaenyra's fears were right all along.
Episode 6 has a lot of ground to cover. Expect Criston Cole to face a reckoning as Black forces move in on his trapped army in the Riverlands, potentially setting up the long-awaited Battle of Tumbleton between Ormund Hightower and Daemon's forces. Daemon is also likely to dig deeper into the conspiracy behind the Gold Cloak killings, while Rhaenyra deals with just how fragile her hold on King's Landing really is.
The season brings back Emma D'Arcy as Rhaenyra Targaryen, Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryen, Olivia Cooke as Alicent Hightower, Ewan Mitchell as Aemond Targaryen, and Tom Glynn-Carney as Aegon II. The show remains based on George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood, chronicling the Targaryen civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons.
