Who runs Westeros? Girls! Who runs Westeros? Girls! OK, we know that’s not true (yet).

Enough of the fighting. . Let’s fix the mess we’ve made and put the rightful heir on the throne.

The conversation sets up Season Three, which has already been confirmed. “House of the Dragon” has been following its source material, George R. R.

Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” and, based on this chat between Rhaenyra and Alicent (as well as the last scenes that wrap the finale episode), the next season is likely to open with the fall of King’s Landing. Here’s what to know about Alicent and Rhaenyra’s plan — and if it will work. The Fall of King’s Landing is recounted in “Fire & Blood” and ends with a major victory for Rhaenyra and the Blacks.
