Fans of House of the Dragon season 2 episode 4 were left on the edge of their seats, pleading for Rhaenys to survive the intense battle, but did she make it out alive?
The question on everyone’s mind is what ultimately happens to Rhaenys?
In ‘The Red Dragon and the Gold’, Rhaenys goes into battle with her dragon Meleys against Aegon and Sunfyre, proving Aegon to be no match.
However, Aemond and Vaghar join the battle. Despite Rhaenys and Meleys putting up a strong fight, the episode concludes tragically with Vhagar attacking Meleys.
Both Rhaenys and Meleys meet their end in a fatal fall, mirroring the events in the books.
Eve Best, in an interview with Variety, elaborated on Rhaenys’ sacrifice: “The decision to engage in that final clash with Vhagar was a suicide mission.”
Although Rhaenys meets a tragic end, there might still be hope for her return.
When asked about a potential comeback like Milly Alcock’s character, Eve expressed her interest, suggesting Rhaenys could haunt Corlys and offer him guidance. The future remains uncertain.
Furthermore, the episode reveals Rhaenys’ knowledge of Corlys’ illegitimate children, urging him to accept them as his heirs.
Eve highlighted this moment as Rhaenys prioritizing the greater good over her personal struggles.
In conclusion, Eve stressed that Rhaenys’ internal problems, portrayed her as shattered inside but always strived to do what is right, keeping her vulnerabilities hidden from all except Meleys.
