A lot transpires in House of the Dragon’s season one finale. But nothing is as startling as the moment Alicent’s son Aemond (riding the dragon he lost an eye for) and Rhaenyra’s son Lucerys (who wielded the knife to take that eye) engage in a mid-air battle—and Aemond’s dragon suddenly devours both Lucerys and his dragon. Every viewer, in unison, wondered “Wait… did that just happen?” Yes, yes it did. And season two’s premiere—arriving June 16—is titled “A Son for a Son,” so you know this is going to be urgent business as soon as we pick back up with House of the Dragon.
