Final Words

House of the Dragon Episode 7 has set the pace for a Targaryen Civil war which we always would take place sooner. The only reason the show has faced audience wrath is because of stretching the storyline unnecessarily. So far, the House of Dragon episode has mostly been talky and less actionable. Although, now, as a cold war among the Targaryens has officially begun, with one demanding the eye of another, the stress in the Kingdom has broken out.

It is Queen Alicent and Larys Strong who have brought us the most striking moment of the episode. In the previous episode, Alicent was shocked to know Lord Strong and Ser Harwin’s death was planned by Larys, and now that he is suggesting her get an eye for an eye, how can Alicent agree to do so? The question of Visery’s survival remains the same in episode 7. To an extent, we all know the showrunners are saving this twist to strike for the season finale. But, can it be the only reason the Targaryens will fight with each other, or are we to see more deaths in the next episodes? Whatever the case, we are affirmed that the Dance of Dragons is not too far to begin.
