House of the Dragon Season 2, Episode 5 Leaks

In this video, we are bringing you many leaked  scenes from the next House of the Dragon season 2,   episode 5. This source leaked much information  about previous episodes that turned out accurate.   According to this new leak, in House of the  Dragon season 2, episode 5, we’ll see King   Aegon critically hurt with a scene that shows his  skin peeling off as they're removing his armor.   We will see Aemond not being regretful about what  he’s done to Aegon on purpose and being confronted   by his sister Helaena about it in the throne  room, who asks him, 'Was it worth the price?'   Alicent will also start to figure out Aemond did  it intentionally. Aemond will be the first to say   they need a regent to rule in the king’s stead as  Aegon is recovering. Alicent will suggest herself,   but Criston Cole agrees Aemond should be regent  instead. Daemon is going to keep having strange   dreams and hallucinations at Harrenhal, this  time seeing Queen Aemma (Rhaenyra’s mother),   who is going to tell him, 'You were made  to wear a crown.' Daemon will start telling   people to start calling him king instead of 'your  grace.' Rhaenyra and Jacaerys will start looking   for Targaryen bastards to claim dragons,  and Aemond will seal off King’s Landing,   and more! Let’s take a look. The leak says that  in episode 5, we see Aegon critically wounded. He   has a lot of broken bones and burns over most of  his body. We see his skin peel as the maesters try   to remove his armor. His entire torso is burned,  and half of his face. They don't know if he will   awake. There is one scene later where Alicent  touches him and then walks out of the room—no   Aegon dialogue this episode. We expected nothing  less; this is the same way Aegon is in the books   after the battle at Rook’s Rest. Aegon suffers  from burns that cover half his body, a broken hip,   and numerous broken ribs. His armor has melted  into his left arm, and it will take him a year   to recover, although Aegon will remain bent and  twisted for the rest of his life, half his body   covered in burn scars. Next, it says that the fate  of the dragon Sunfyre is not clear. When Alicent   asks Criston about what happened, he says they  lost 900 men but gained a castle and left some   men behind to defend King Aegon’s dragon, which is  dying. Sunfyre is definitely not dying, but I can   see why the show would try to build this narrative  only for us later to find out that he lives as a   huge shock to the audience when in later seasons  Aegon confronts Rhaenyra with Sunfyre. Sunfyre is   a dying dragon after suffering huge wounds, being  brutally slashed in the chest by Meleys' claws,   his right wing destroyed by Meleys’ jaws, and  one of his wings set on fire by Aemond’s Vhagar,   causing him along with Aegon to crash into a  forest. Sunfyre and Aegon survive the fall,   but both are severely injured. While King Aegon  is taken to King's Landing to recover, his dragon   Sunfyre is unable to fly and too huge and heavy  to be moved, so Sunfyre remains near Rook's Rest   to allow him time to heal. Criston says that he  stationed men near the dragon to guard him. In the   book, Sunfyre first feeds on the burned carcasses  of the slain soldiers, but after those are gone,   Criston's men bring Sunfyre calves and sheep to  eat. Although many soldiers will try to kill him   later and his wing will heal at an awkward angle,  Sunfyre will recover enough to fly once again.   Back to the episode 5 leak. It says that  Aemond’s demeanor is not regretful at all;   moreover, he is in a happy mood. When they  are parading Meleys' head through the streets   of King’s Landing, Alicent notices Aemond has  the catspaw dagger on his belt. At this point,   everyone knows that Aemond tried to kill Aegon on  purpose. I said it before and I’ll say it again:   Aemond tried to kill Aegon twice: first, by  intentionally letting Aegon fly his dragon   Sunfyre alone against Rhaenys and her dragon  Meleys without rushing to the air to help him,   even though he knows Meleys is much stronger  than Sunfyre. Second, Aemond tried to kill   Aegon by blasting dragonfire when the dragons  were entangled, fully aware that even if he   hits Rhaenys and Meleys, he's going to  burn Aegon as well—and he does. Finally,   Aemond flies back with Vhagar to where Aegon  and Sunfyre fell and lands. Aemond approaches,   draws his sword, stares at Aegon, and then decides  to sheath his sword as Criston Cole approaches.   Aemond was definitely going for the kill but saw  Aegon in such a bad condition that he thought   Aegon was either already dead or there was no way  of him surviving such wounds.It says Aemond is   not regretful and is actually in a really good  mood, and why wouldn’t he be? Even though King   Aegon lives, it will take him a long time until  he can rule again, and Aemond knows he is the   second in line to rule in Aegon’s stead. Aemond  achieved his goal; he will rule from the Iron   Throne. By the way, besides the king’s dagger,  Aemond will also wield the king’s sword. Next,   it says that Criston Cole does not tell Alicent  the truth about what happened at Rook’s Rest   even though he seems to definitely know that  Aemond’s attack on Aegon was intentional,   but Alicent starts to piece it together on her  own. In the official trailers, we got a glimpse   of Alicent’s confrontation with Aemond about  his actions at Rook’s Rest against Aegon. We   hear Aemond respond with, 'Would you not have us  prevail?' pointing to the fact that with him in   charge, there is a better chance of them winning  this war, to which Alicent responds by shouting,   'Not like this!' Next, it says that Alicent is  very upset and worried if Aegon will live, but   it also seems like she is concerned about who will  rule if he dies. At the small council, Aemond is   the first to say that they need a regent in place  to rule in Aegon’s stead. Alicent suggests herself   as capable of ruling, but none of the council  members agree with her; they don't want a woman in   charge while being in a war against Rhaenyra, who  wants the same. We know that in episode 5, Aegon’s   small council will have a meeting about who will  rule in Aegon’s stead while he is recovering,   and we know it's going to be Aemond. Prince Aemond  will take over the rule in Aegon’s stead as Prince   Regent and Protector of the Realm. While this is  happening in King’s Landing, apparently the black   council is also having a meeting at Dragonstone  where some members question Rhaenyra’s war   experience, but she comes back at one of them by  saying that the realm has been at peace for many   years, so no one has more experience than anyone,  no matter which gender. Back to King’s Landing,   both Larys and Criston Cole agree that Aemond  should be regent, and Aemond happily heads   over to the king’s chair at the table and  immediately starts planning wars. Aemond   takes the role of a new king and starts planning  at once, and we know Aemond will tell Criston,   'My uncle Daemon is a challenge I welcome,  if he dares face me,' making it clear that   Aemond’s next objective is Harrenhal, which he  plans to take with Vhagar and Cole’s army. Next,   it says that Alicent thinks Cole betrayed her,  but he tells her something along the lines of,   'We have to do terrible things now, and I spared  you from having to be at the head of them.' We   saw part of this scene play out in the episode 5  preview. Then it says that there is a scene where   Aemond is standing in front of the iron throne and  Helaena asks him if it was 'worth the price.' It   seems just about everyone knows that there was  some foul play that went on during the fight at   Rook’s Rest, even more so Helaena since she can  see things. In episode 5, Rhaenyra and Mysaria   will have a conversation. Mysaria will say, 'The  people whisper, when Viserys lived, there was   peace.' and then she will offer her own help by  saying, 'There is more than one way to fight a   war.' It is Mysaria’s plan to send a good friend  and handmaiden of Rhaenyra to King’s Landing,   Elinda Massey, to mess with King’s Landing’s food  supplies and to cause a riot of the smallfolk as   they first go hungry after already being scared.  The leak says that Dyana, a servant Aegon violated   in season 1, will help Elinda on Mysaria’s orders.  At Harrenhal, Daemon keeps having strange dreams   and hallucinations, this time seeing Queen Aemma,  Rhaenyra’s mother, who is going to tell him,   'You were made to wear a crown,' and then say,  'my favorite son.' An actress who plays Queen   Aemma was confirmed to appear in season 2, and  many have already correctly guessed that it would   be in Daemon’s vision as many guessed it was  Aemma in the trailer sleeping with Daemon. This   Daemon’s vision about Aemma is meant to symbolize  him wanting what his brother King Viserys had:   his brother's crown, his brother's wife. It’s not  about Aemma; it's about what she symbolizes. Next,   it says that Daemon is becoming increasingly  obsessed with being king. He tells Simon Strong   to call him king now instead of just 'your grace.'  Simon says he would be the king regent, and Daemon   says that last part isn't necessary; he wants to  be called king only. Later, Daemon says that when   he takes King’s Landing, Rhaenyra is welcome to  join him as queen. So it seems he's been corrupted   by Harrenhal. We know that during episode 5,  Daemon will take Stone Hedge, and when he attacks   House Bracken, he will tell them to bend the knee  to him. But we also know that in the season 2   finale, Rhaenyra will come to Harrenhal, and the  two will reunite. Together, Daemon and Rhaenyra   will prepare their attack and take King's Landing  in episode 8. But back to episode 5. Then it says   that Rhaenyra sends one of her council members to  Harrenhal since she thinks Daemon will ignore any   ravens. I'm not sure who Rhaenyra will send, but  it seems it might be her son Jacaerys as we see   him negotiating with House Frey at the Twins,  which is very close to where Daemon is. Next,   it says that we see Hugh Hammer at King’s Landing  while the city has been sealed off by Aemond. We   know that in episode 5, there will be a huge riot  of the smallfolk after seeing the head of Meleys   drawn on a cart through the city, as thousands  leave King's Landing after seeing that the war   of dragons has started and it will soon come to  their city, but also after something happens to   the food supplies, and now we know that the city  gates will be ordered by Aemond to be closed and   barred. This is a slight change from the book,  as in there, Alicent is the one who orders the   city gates to be shut. Next, it says that the  last scene of episode 5 is Jacaerys and Rhaenyra   deciding to look through all of the old history  documents to try to find long-lost family members   or people with Targaryen blood to try and claim  some of their riderless dragons at Dragonstone,   some of which include Vermithor and Silverwing.  Earlier in the episode, Jacaerys treated with   the Freys, and we also saw Rhaena arriving at the  Eyrie, seat of House Arryn, to where Rhaenyra sent   them. We know Jacaerys will take his dragon Vermax  to negotiate with House Frey and to possibly   secure free passage to Cregan Stark’s army south.  Rhaenyra also says something along the lines of,   'Meleys fought 2 dragons and 1 of them is dead.'  So Rhaenyra either falsely believes Aegon’s dragon   Sunfyre is dead for whatever reason, or she  received a false report claiming it. As I said,   the show might be building this narrative to make  us think Sunfyre is going to die because it is   supposed to be a shocking twist when we see him  next time, as big a shock to us as it will be to   Rhaenyra when Aegon confronts her with his dragon  in later seasons of House of the Dragon. There you   have it, guys, all the new leaked scenes we have  for episode 5. Let me know your thoughts about all   of this in the comment section down below.
