‘House of the Dragon’ Season 2 premiere recap: Never trust the rat exterminator to do an assassin’s job

Image
  “House of the Dragon” returned on Sunday for its long-awaited second season and the lesson in the premiere episode is that if you wish to carry out a hit on a one-eyed adult prince, maybe don’t hire the rat exterminator because he might kill a child instead. But let’s back up first. Last season, Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney) was crowned king, Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) crowned herself Queen, Aemond Targaryen’s dragon ate Rhaenyra’s son Lucerys (Elliot Grihault) for lunch, and, basically, war is on the precipice. When we meet Rhaenyra in the Season 2 premiere episode, she’s overcome with grief about the death of Lucerys. After she finds some closure and Lucerys’ remains, she returns to Dragonstone to hold a Team Black council meeting, clearly still grief-stricken and mad. “I want Aemond Targaryen,” Rhaenyra says at the council meeting. If “an eye for an eye” seemed to be the approach to justice in Season 1, this season it’s “a son for a son.” Rhaenyra’s uncle/husband – welcome back to incest-
