House of the Dragon season 2, episode 6 is set to reveal more about Rhaenyra and Jace’s plan to find other dragonriders as the HBO show nears the conclusion of the second season. Despite the shorter number of episodes, House of the Dragon season 2 has already covered some of the most important events in George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood. With Aemond serving as Aegon II’s regent and Rhaenys dead, the stakes for the rest of the season are higher than ever.

House of the Dragon season 2, episode 5’s ending saw Rhaenyra and Jacaerys discussing how to make use of Dragonstone’s unclaimed dragons now that Aemond and Vhagar have become an even more serious threat. Jace suggests enlisting what will be called “dragonseeds” – bastards and descendants of second sons who carry the Targaryen blood and may be able to bond with dragons. Between the Visenya Targaryen reference and the “dragonseeds” plan, House of the Dragon is setting up some intense, action-packed three final episodes.
