Episode 6 (spoiler light)
Season 3’s sixth episode, “Faceless Men,” dramatically altered the balance of power heading into tonight’s penultimate chapter.
The episode saw Rhaenyra and Daemon wrestling with the growing threat posed by Ormund Hightower. Questions surrounding the loyalty of key allies intensified, while the fallout from escalating military campaigns created new challenges for both sides. Episode 6 also further complicated several major relationships and left multiple storylines unresolved as the war moved into a more dangerous phase.
What to expect in episode 7
Alicent Hightower’s mission to Harrenhal could become one of the episode’s most consequential storylines. The episode teaser also suggests further developments involving Aemond Targaryen, Alys Rivers, Helaena Targaryen, and Rhaenyra herself as the season races toward its Aug. 9 finale.
Expect continued fallout from recent battles, increasing pressure on King’s Landing, and potentially decisive moves from several dragonriders whose allegiances may shape the final outcome of the season.
