Summary

Sunfyre Revives

Sunfyre revives in Episode 7, restoring Aegon II Targaryen’s dragon-borne combat capability and letting him unleash fire on Rhaenyra’s forces.
Director Nina Lopez-Carrado said the dragon recovered while dormant, its rejuvenation aided by Aegon’s proximity and imminent death.
The revival shifts the Greens’ strategic outlook, giving them a tangible asset against Rhaenyra’s dragon-dominant army and complicating Ormund Hightower’s political calculations.

Summary

Alys Hides Eggs

Alys concealed five to six dragon eggs from Rhaena’s era and revealed them only to Aemond.
At 400 years old, she lacks modern social skills and influences others through intimidation, flirtation, and bat-awakening.
Daemon’s refusal of her Harrenhal request broke her heart, causing her to keep the eggs from him.
Actress Olivia described Alys’s “dark meet-cute” with Aemond as a surprised, mutually swept moment on set.
