Previews

On House of the Dragon Season 1 Episode 4, “King of the Narrow Sea,” Viserys is called upon to rectify his past decisions.

Despite Viserys’ adamance that Rhaenyra will keep her heir status, the promo released indicates that the people of King’s Landing will be making their grievances known.

With Aegon’s birth and Daemon’s newfound king status, it seems as if Viserys will be made to make a proper and final decision, with him now knowing all the pieces on the figurative chess board.

In the promo video below, Daemon bows to Viserys upon his arrival in King’s Landing, which is slightly alarming. So, it’ll be interesting to see what tricks he has planned.

“King of the Narrow Sea” will also give viewers a first-hand look at Storm’s End, where the castle of House Baratheon resides. And with Rhaenyra being pushed to find a suitable mate, we might see her end up with a Baratheon versus Sir Criston Cole.

Although, we’ll unlikely see the series stray too far from the books, where her and Cole’s courtship is canon.

Plus, despite how much we love the time jumps, it’s also unlikely that we’ll see another until episode six, as that’s when the adult actors for Alicent and Rhaenyra, Olivia Cooke and Emma D’Arcy, will appear.
