New 'House Of The Dragon' Episode Preview Teases Major Clash

The upcoming "House of the Dragon" episode looks like it's going to be an electric ride.

*WARNING: THERE WILL BE SPOILERS BELOW. DO NOT KEEP READING IF YOU AREN'T CAUGHT UP. CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED.*

Episode five of season two of the "Game of Thrones" prequel aired this past Sunday, and answered one of the biggest questions of the season so far:

Aegon is still alive.

There had been serious speculation about whether the idiot little king (according to his people, of course) was alive or not following Aemond flaming him during a battle.

He's alive, but there's still plenty more chaos to come on "House of the Dragon."

HBO drops preview for upcoming "House of the Dragon" episode.

One of the other major developments in episode five was that Rhaenyra and Jacaerys plotted to find more dragon riders amid the belief historical records might reveal more capable warriors and leaders.

I'll leave it at that for those who haven't seen the episode, and don't want the awesome development ruined. The preview for episode six this Sunday teases Rhaenyra getting Daemon under control, speculation about more dragons and what looks like a possible sneak attack.

Give it a watch below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

This is one hell of a great preview from HBO, and I desperately need to know why Alicent Hightower looked so terrified at the 45-second mark. An ambush? Her own people turning on her and Helaena while out in public? Where was her protection? It doesn't add up, and that makes me think something big is going to happen this Sunday.

We'll find out Sunday night on HBO and on Max. Have a fun theory? Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
