If you want to avoid spoilers, you\u2019re going to want to watch House of the Dragon<\/a> season three episode four live – especially as it marks a dark turn for Rhaenyra (Emma D\u2019Arcy).<\/p>\n

The latest chapter of the Game of Thrones<\/a> prequel has been action packed, in part due to the fact that the first two episodes were <\/span>supposed <\/span><\/i>to be the last two of the second season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So far, we\u2019ve had the Battle of the Gullet, before Rhaenyra – helped along by Alicent (Olivia Cooke<\/a>) – finally took the Iron Throne.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But as we saw in season three episode three, it\u2019s not an easy road ahead: The Red Keep is overrun with rats (literal and metaphorical), the crown\u2019s money is running low<\/a>, and Rhaenyra\u2019s got to find a way to help out the smallfolk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And to top it all off, she finds out that Daeron is an imposter<\/a>, having been deceived by Ormund (James Norton). The trailer for tonight\u2019s episode shows Ormund and his forces taking Tumbleton, meaning we\u2019re about to enter the next stage of war.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
