House of the Dragon Season 2 has been building on itself with every episode. Now, there’s only three episodes left in the entire season, and each side — Rhaenyra and the Blacks and Aegon and the Greens — is getting increasingly more desperate for an upper hand in the ongoing Dance of Dragons.

Episode 6 will show each side plan something incredibly risky — we’ll have to watch the rest of the season to truly find out if their gambits work. Here’s everything you need to know to catch the next episode, from when it’ll drop to a sneak peek at what’s ahead.

What is the Plot of House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 6?

House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 6 shows both sides trying their most dangerous strategies yet. Rhaenyra and the Blacks are attempting to find more dragonriders by diving deep into the Targaryen history and finding long-lost relatives. Meanwhile, the Greens are trying to regroup under the questionable leadership of Aemond and his well-held grudges, while Aegon recovers from his dragon fire burns.

But there’s something else the Greens need to contend with: all throughout Season 2, we’ve seen the smallfolk get frustrated by the lack of food caused by the blockade in the Gullet. In Episode 6, we may just see that reach a fever pitch, forcing the Greens to fight a battle at home and abroad.

Corlys Velaryon is now the Hand of the Queen, and his blockade is making King’s Landing sweat — and starve.
