“House of the Dragon” Season 2, Episode 4 ended in bloodshed with Rhaenys (Eve Best) and Meleys being killed by Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) and Vhagar – a huge blow to Team Black.

Despite the loss of a major dragon and a rider with more combat experience than any other Targaryen aside from Daemon (Matt Smith), Best said this was the best outcome. Rhaenys volunteers for the Rook’s Rest mission because she can sense that Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) was on the verge of going herself.

“Rhaenys chooses to step in having said for the whole season that ‘we musn’t use dragons. Anything but using dragons.’
