The penultimate episode of House of the Dragon season 2 begins with Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) and Addam of Hull (Clinton Liberty) facing off on the beach with their dragons scratching and snarling behind them. In case Addam was not aware, Rhaenyra informs him she’s the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, and, by the way, that dragon he’s been riding around on is her property. Addam bends the knee, which takes Rhaenyra a bit by surprise. “You kneel quickly for a man so suddenly elevated,” she says.
