House of the Dragon Season 2 official trailer *WARNING: This article contains major spoilers for House of the Dragon season 2, episode 6.* The sixth episode of House of the Dragon ’s second season has caused fans to speculate about Alys Rivers’ (Gayle Rankin) various supposed machinations. Season 2, episode 6 saw Larys Strong (Matthew Needham) have a refreshingly candid chat with bed-bound Aegon Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney), as he discussed the challenges of living with a disability.
It comes after Aegon was brutally betrayed by his brother Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell), with the HBO show later revealing he had survived the terrible fall on his loyal dragon Sunfyre. However, Aegon’s life will be forever changed, as he has sustained major burns and broken bones. Following Aegon’s reckless decision to join the fray at the battle of Rook’s Rest after being goaded by his mother Alicent Hightower’s (Olivia Cooke) harsh words, he is attacked by Aemond on his dragon.
Back at the Red Keep, most people are not aware of what really happened at Rook’s Rest, with Aemond making it clear to his frail brother that revealing the truth would lead to serious consequences for him. One unlikely visitor to come to Aegon’s bedside is none other than the slippery Lord Larys, who has just been dismissed as a candidate for Hand of the King by Aemond. In the strangely heartfelt interaction, Larys opens up about the harsh realities of being “a cripple” in the world of Game of Thr.
