Hello, and welcome to Talk the Thrones. My name is Chris Ryan. I am an editor at TheRinger.com. I'm joined, as always, by Joanna Robinson and our dim but ambitious Dornish friend, Mallory Rubin. We are here to break down the seventh and penultimate episode of House of the Dragon Season 3, and we will do so right after this.
Talk the Thrones is a House of R production in very many ways. You know what I mean? I'm here but by the grace of you two. Yes. That's not how we see it at all. And you can listen to House of R Go Deep on this episode on Tuesdays, correct? Correct.
Yeah, sometimes.
I, when you watch this or listen to this, will be on a lake. So Andy and I are not talking about this episode. Oh, shit. You want the uncut raw CR takes on this. Damn. You can only get it on House of R. Wow. And I will start my recap of this episode, the seventh episode, right about now. So, gonna do this by character this time. Okay. Because I, you know, chronologically going through the episode, there's moments that are important, obviously, but I thought this was a bit of a table setter, a step up from last week, which I suppose we were somewhat critical of, but, you know, exciting stuff brewing. Oh, yeah. Tumbleton in the balance. Let's start with Allison, who arrives at Heron Hall, has sex with her son, Amon, and then arrives again.
You know what I mean? Ooh.
You said arise and not come?
I know. Well, I'm a little jumpy about making too many sexual jokes. Don't worry. We've got you covered. Shout out to the ghetto boys. Eamon's mind is playing tricks on him. And he's a little freaked out by all the H-Hall voodoo flying around as he greets Allison's bodyguard by stabbing him in the throat.
Right.
Uh, things just get more frosty from there with like an awkward dinner between Amon's mom and his girlfriend and an awkward cocktail hour where Alicent poisons Amon with some berries that she found next to the body of her dead minder.
Some berries.
Amon collapses in Alice's arms as Alicent seemingly escapes Harrenhal.
Yeah.
Okay.
The Nightshade payoff, Helena talking all season about the poison plant.
I thought that was just, there were just some cool berries. I didn't know. Damon is out and about looking for Reyna, whose dragon has been spotted hither and yon out in the Vale. He finally finds her, but the reunion is interrupted by Rhaenyra and Adam's arrival. And there's a big standoff, an intergenerational family fight, basically like the Fish's episode of The Bear, but with dragons and Caraxes. winds up fighting Sheepstealer with Rhaenyra at first condemning Rhaena and saving her life and riding back to King's Landing. Rhaenyra is quite upset with Daemon because she had thought this had all been handled and that Sheepstealer's rider rested comfortably in her room as a skull. Some merch. But she finds Solas in the arms of Mysaria.
Indeed. Arms? Like a 30 point... 11 assist game from Misaria today. Literally, after an episode worth of scheming and whispering, Misaria figures out the best way to a leader's heart is through their robes. And the two of them get down. Have they done this before?
They've kissed. I thought they were having sex this whole time, but they really treated it as a monumental moment.
Like a breakthrough. Yeah. Some other news and notes. Orman now has Corliss hostage and sends Alan his finger as proof. He has also been working behind the scenes to turn Ulf against Team Black. And it looks like offering the pub crawler drift mark and the title of Lord of Tides will do the trick.
Yeah, Honeywell, not good enough. Another knock for the bees.
What happens in Chris Ryan’s character-by-character recap of Episode 7?
I can't wait till it ends.
The indignity for House Beesbury. He's just like, ha!
There is an army of 20,000 men marching on Zumbleton. So that is one thing. Does it feel important on the eve of the finale?
About a day away.
And also Gwaine and Darren really starting to build a degree of skepticism about Orman's leadership and thinking he might be a fascist. This episode culminates with Larys, Aegon, and Tylan returning to Rook's Rest after finding the roads impassable.
