Butcher\u2019s Ball is an event known to book readers, so we\u2019ve been eagerly awaiting to see Cole get his just deserts. Cole leads what little remains of his men into an ambush, with the Rivermen playing dead only to rise up and attack the unsuspecting soldiers. Cole believes himself to be the victor when all is over, only to find the rest of the Tully\/Stark forces surrounding them. Proposing a duel, Cole is instead sniped from a distance by one of the Tully soldiers. Is it a little anti-climactic? Yes. But Cole envisioned himself going down swinging, and songs would be written about him. Instead, his passing was rather unremarkable, and he\u2019s thus relegated to a footnote in the history of someone else\u2019s conflict. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"62293\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/2026\/07\/27\/house-of-the-dragon-faceless-men-spoiler-review-screenhub-entertainment\/image-987\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-72.png\" data-orig-size=\"960,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-72.png?w=720\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-72.png?w=960\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-72.png 960w, https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-72.png?w=150 150w, https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-72.png?w=300 300w, https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-72.png?w=768 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">[Credit: HBO]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rest of the episode focuses on arcs developing narrative threads already established over the last few episodes. Rhaenyra continues to descend into a state of being a rather unfit leader, to the point where she\u2019s not been cut by the Iron Throne itself. You\u2019ll remember that\u2019s how her father ultimately met her end, with the Throne slicing him and thus leading to his leprosy. In Westeros, the superstition is that the throne will cut a leader deemed unfit for rule for whatever reason, and considering Rhaenyra\u2019s handle on things now, cutting her hand is quite the symbolic gesture. For reference, the throne never cut Aegon, and he was a piece of crap; even Tyland thinks so. She\u2019s livid at Alicent and the pregnant Helaena for trying to escape possible retribution against the unborn baby, and then pivots to asking Alicent to assassinate Aemond herself. Quite the range there. Alicent, once again, does what\u2019s commanded of her. No real resistance. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"62295\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/2026\/07\/27\/house-of-the-dragon-faceless-men-spoiler-review-screenhub-entertainment\/image-988\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-73.png\" data-orig-size=\"1024,683\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-73.png?w=720\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-73.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-73.png 1024w, https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-73.png?w=150 150w, https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-73.png?w=300 300w, https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-73.png?w=768 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">[Credit: HBO]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daemon goes undercover to learn more about Ormund\u2019s conspiracy, and does find one of the conspirators, but learns little else apart from that they are legion and do not have a banner. The problem within the city may be bigger than anticipated. Daemon does bump into Ulf while patrolling and lambasts him for sneaking out of the castle. Ulf is getting pretty tired of being the Targaryens\u2019 lapdog, and there\u2019s likely to be consequences. Rhaenyra does receive a message from her failed assassination of Ormund, stating, \u201ckick this dog and it will bite your hand,\u201d but that message may also be foreshadowing something with Ulf down the line, considering he was called a dog this very episode. Hugh, on the other hand, sneaks into Tumbleton to find his wife Kat. I did find this scene weird and oddly manufactured. Kat rips into Hugh for chasing dragons and glory while she wandered the road from King\u2019s Landing alone, facing untold horrors without him. They\u2019re both not per se wrong; Kat was left alone, but Hugh was trying to improve their lot to get out of Flea Bottom. But the show very much paints Hugh as the villain, despite Kat leaving King\u2019s Landing without telling Hugh. I found the whole scene kind of rocky, trying to manufacture drama for one character\u2019s motivation.  <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"62282\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/2026\/07\/27\/house-of-the-dragon-faceless-men-spoiler-review-screenhub-entertainment\/image-981\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-68.png\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1280\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-68.png?w=720\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-68.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-68.png?w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-68.png?w=150 150w, https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-68.png?w=300 300w, https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-68.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-68.png?w=1440 1440w, https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-68.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">[Credit: HBO]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, we check in with the Hightowers, who continue to plot and scheme. They may end the episode by arresting (quite brutally) Corlys, but also had to contend with a failed assassination attempt by Rhaenyra, who had her blades disguised as Baratheons who came to bend the knee. Only Gwayne is able to thwart the attempt on Daeron\u2019s life by using good old-fashioned knowledge, knowing the true identity of the personas simply by reputational description. Gwayne is a learned man, so knowing the names and identities of the knights and lords is his business. Ormund, despite being a man of influence himself, never caught the ruse, and would\u2019ve likely perished without Gwayne\u2019s quick intervention. Those two may be on the same side, but they\u2019re not exactly chummy, and Gwayne won\u2019t let his kin be assassinated by the opposing side. It was also nice (if that\u2019s the right word) to see a heightened sense of brutality this episode. Between the botched assassination attempt and the Butcher\u2019s Ball, this episode was bloody and brutal; something I think <em>House of the Dragon<\/em> has been shying away from since the second episode. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"62296\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/2026\/07\/27\/house-of-the-dragon-faceless-men-spoiler-review-screenhub-entertainment\/image-989\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-74.png\" data-orig-size=\"1200,628\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-74.png?w=720\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-74.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-74.png?w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-74.png?w=150 150w, https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-74.png?w=300 300w, https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-74.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-74.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">[Credit: HBO]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much like last week, there was another veiled foreshadowing that spoils a major event to come. I won\u2019t say who said it, and it\u2019s not as obvious as last week, but they\u2019re really setting this thing up, and I\u2019ll be shocked if it doesn\u2019t happen by the end of the season at this point. Other minor things happened this week, but none of them really had an impact, or at least not yet. Rhaena continues to risk exposure in the Vale, Aemond continues to lurk in Harrenhal, and Baela suddenly (out of nowhere) shacks up with Alyn. That last one felt really weird, as the actors had no chemistry, there\u2019s been no romantic buildup to the moment, nothing. It was weird and probably could\u2019ve been cut from the whole story. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"62297\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/2026\/07\/27\/house-of-the-dragon-faceless-men-spoiler-review-screenhub-entertainment\/image-990\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-75.png\" data-orig-size=\"1600,1067\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-75.png?w=720\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-75.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-75.png?w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-75.png?w=150 150w, https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-75.png?w=300 300w, https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-75.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-75.png?w=1440 1440w, https:\/\/screenhub.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-75.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">[Credit: HBO]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With two episodes to go, I hope that <em>House of the Dragon<\/em> finds the momentum of the first three episodes as it heads towards the finish line.
