Will future episodes help fix this, or will they see things get worse?
How will Rhaenyra Targaryen deal with Lord Ormond Hightower’s betrayal?
Despite surrendering to Daemon Targaryen at the beginning of Episode 3, Ormond Hightower moves against Rhaenyra before the installment is complete. She discovers that the boy she entrusts to him and claims to be Daeron Targaryen is not actually Alicent’s son. He also learns that Ormond later takes Daeron and his dragon to Tumbleton. This sets him up to continue disregarding Rhaenyra’s rule, and this is likely to become a problem.
According to Tumbleton’s messenger, Rhaenyra will need to kill innocents to seek vengeance – and this would contradict everything she claims to stand for. So then, naturally, this is one of the biggest questions dragon house Season 3, Episode 4 is whether Rhaenyra will attack anyway. If she does this, she risks making herself even more unpopular. Yet if she does not do so, Ormund’s forces will have more time to plan and take action against her. This is quite a difficult situation to be in, especially when there are already so many other obstacles in his way.
