House of the Dragon returned with a bang with the season two premiere episode, “A Son for a Son.” In the throes of her grief, Rhaenyra searches for the mortal remains of her son, Lucerys, who was killed by Aemond in the season one finale. As Team Green attempts to lay out their next steps in the looming war against Rhaenyra, Daemon sends assassins to avenge Lucerys—but they end up murdering the wrong Targaryen son.
