As we brace for House of the Dragon season 3 episode 5, let alone the remainder of the season, there are some things we can make clear already.

What is the proper starting-off point here? Well, it is certainly worth noting that Aemond Targaryen is far from dead after what happened to him at Harrenhal earlier this season. The promo for the weeks ahead (watch here) shows that he has managed to climb out of the metaphorical rubble and within that, we remain curious to learn about his next move.

Ultimately, the situation surrounding him is so much more complicated than what it was before. Consider for a moment the fact that Ormund is taking matters into his own hands and that he is going to use Daeron to pursue some of his own interests.

Meanwhile, is a massive battle brewing on the grounds? We know that Criston has a plan to try and fight the advances of Rhaenyra and her army, and it does appear as though some major battles are ahead. Yet, at the same time, we do not have a supreme layer of confidence that he is going to be successful … at least on his own. For now, the best-case scenario here for him is simply one where he is able to weaken the army and then someone else comes in and finishes the job.

What we are trying to say here is not altogether complicated, as we are getting into a part of the story where everyone is vulnerable — and through that, Rhaenyra’s reign could end up being short-lived.
