The Targaryen civil war known as the “Dance of the Dragons” looks to reach an incendiary climax. Until recently, the Black Queen and her supporters have been rendered powerless on Dragonstone. But, thanks to “The White Worm” Mysaria, and the procurement of several badass dragon riders, the balance of power has finally shifted in their favor.
Following Rhaenyra's dragonseed drive, Vermithor and Silverwing are just two of the fire-breathing beasts ready to turn the Greens to toast. Lord Corlys Velaryon’s fleet dominates the seas, and the Riverlords have finally pledged their support to Daemon’s cause. The trailer for the finale shows the silver-haired prince at the head of an army of troops, commanding that they "show no mercy.” Don't ever change, Daemon!
The eighth and final episode is likely to see another central character death, too, and the unfolding of a major conflict known as the Battle of the Gullet. It’s one of the fiercest sea battles in Westerosi history, and which will find the Triarchy hired to target Lord Velaryon’s naval forces in an effort to bring the crippling blockade in King’s Landing to an end. Word is, it's going to be brutal.
Brace yourselves for the thrilling conclusion to what has been a brilliant sophom*ore season. Follow our guide here for how to watch House of the Dragon season 2 episode 8 online and stream every episode from anywhere in the world.
