House of Dragon Season 2 Episode 2 Recap: House of Dragon, a fantasy drama series whose season 2 is streaming on the JioCinema platform with 1 episode every Monday. In the first episode of season 1, we see that Rhaenyra wants Aemond’s life(a son for a son) as revenge for Luke’s death, so he sends Blood and Cheese inside the king’s mansion to kill the upcoming king.
They manage to get inside and force the queen to identify the son of the twins on a knifepoint. As she shows her finger, they kill the baby and she take the other kid and runs away from there.
This second episode of HOD is more interesting than the first as watching King’s plan and fight is much better than watching Cheese and Blood doing a child murder. Episode 2 starts with chaos where the king’s soldiers are making people stand in a line and try to find the people behind the killing of the child. The young king seems to be very angry about the attack as someone has come inside his mansion despite high security. Then he gets the information that the guards have caught someone who was trying to escape through the gate and even found the child’s head with him.

Then the ministry plans to do a proper funeral ceremony which will help others understand the pain they have received from Rhaenyra which will eventually strengthen them to fight against Rhaenyra. They take out the chariot along with the child’s dead body showing Rhaenyra Targaryen’s cruelty in the town.
Cole is very upset and angry about the killing of young prince Jaehaerys under his watch and is looking for someone to blame. He saw Arryk, who was responsible for guarding the kids. His white cloak was muddy and Cole started insulting him in front of everyone. He then assigns him a task to go to Dragonstone and make a plan to kill Rhaenyra to which Arryk replies that he is a knight and not an assassin. But Cole, being his superior doesn’t bend and sends him to this suicidal mission without asking approval from the Aegon or even the King’s Hand, Otto Hightower.
On the other side, Cheese gets caught and upon interrogation, he accepts that he was sent by Daemon Targaryen and was given half the amount of the job in advance and the remaining half was promised after completing the task. Everyone in the town believes that this has been done by Rhaenyra which she denies off and asks her men to send out the trust that she is not the one behind it. Also, she understood that it was actually Daemon behind all this who sent Blood and Cheese to kill Aemonds, and in case they don’t find him, kill anyone from the High family as revenge.
Rhaenyra is very upset with this move as this has weakened Rhaenyra’s claim on the throne as her name is linked with a child killing. They share a heated conversation about it. She then asks Baela to go to King’s Landing and keep an eye on their next move so that she can get prepared for it.
In the next scene, we can see Arryk making his near Rhaenyra’s room and asking the knight there to replace his duty with him as he will now guard the room. He then enters her room taking out his sword and moving towards Rhaenyra saying he is left with no options. While he was moving towards her, Erryk bursts into the room and stops Arryk from killing her. The two fight with their hands and swords showing one of the best combat scenes till now.

Both the brothers look so identical that others watching them couldn’t distinguish between them. One of them kills the other and the left one turns towards Rhaenyra and says sorry and then takes his sword and kills himself from it. Who was who? Difficult to say but both of them died there.
