This article provides a recap of the latest episode of HBO's House of the Dragon, focusing on the death of Ser Criston Cole. It highlights key plot developments and character fates within the fantasy series.
Why it matters
House of the Dragon is a major cultural touchstone, and recaps help viewers track complex narrative arcs in high-budget television.
This is a recap of the most recent episode of HBO's House of the Dragon . It contains spoilers. That's what a recap is.
Credits! Only one new "Die, You!" Tapestry tableau this week: A Gold Cloak getting attacked by Ormund's spies. (Not pictured: Said spies posing the aforementioned Gold Cloak's corpse in a chair at a banquet table, making for a kind of kicky, festive, Weekend-at-Ser-Bernard's diorama. Maybe next week.)
Criston Cole leads his few remaining Green soldiers into a Team Black camp full of slaughtered rivermen — except they're not slaughtered, they're just fake-slaughtered, and they rise up to attack.
When they do, you can hear someone actually shout, "It's a trap!" Nice to know the Seven Kingdoms have a Ser Ackbar.
Keep up with House of the Dragon all season: Recaps will appear on Sunday evenings after each episode ends.
