Episode 4: “The Red Dragon and the Gold” Written by: Ryan Condal Directed by: Alan Taylor Air Date: July 7, 2024 Summary: Daemon dreams that he decapitates a young Rhaenyra, who accused him of treason. Archmaester Orwyle prepares Alicent an abortifacient tea. He professes ignorance when she asks who Viserys named as heir. Criston beheads Lord Darklyn of Duskendale, who refused allegiance. Alys Rivers tells Daemon that Harrenhal is haunted. Her sleep potion causes him to hallucinate seeing his deceased wife, Laena Velaryon. Rhaenyra returns to Dragonstone and agrees to a war with dragons. Rhaenys volunteers herself and her dragon, Meleys. Aegon complains about Aemond and Criston planning the battle campaigns without him but Alicent calls him a weak king who should defer to his advisors. Frustrated and drunk, Aegon flies Sunfyre to Rook’s Rest. Rhaenys on Meleys burns Criston’s troops while Aemond and Vhagar are hidden nearby, ready to ambush her. When Aegon and Sunfyre approach, Aemond delays attacking. As Meleys mauls Sunfyre, Aemond flies in and Vhagar burns both dragons. Sunfyre falls with Aegon. Rhaenys and Meleys attack Vhagar, who also falls. As Rhaenys circles above, Vhagar suddenly rises and fatally throttles Meleys, causing Rhaenys to plunge to her death. Criston, knocked unconscious during battle, awakens and finds Aemond, sword in hand, standing near a prone Aegon and wounded Sunfyre.
