In House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 7 the narrative takes a dramatic turn as the Blacks make significant strides in their ongoing conflict. The episode opens with an intense scene featuring Rhaenyra Targaryen and her dragon, Syrax, facing off against Addam of Hull, the new rider of Seasmoke. Addam, a bastard son of Corlys Velaryon and thus the half-brother of Rhaenyra’s deceased husband, Laenor, has recently claimed Seasmoke, a dragon once ridden by Laenor. The tension between Rhaenyra and Addam is palpable as they grapple with the legitimacy of his claim to the dragon. Despite this, Addam swiftly swears allegiance to Rhaenyra and her cause, marking a crucial moment of consolidation for the Blacks.
Following this encounter, the episode shifts focus to Mysaria, who proposes a bold strategy to strengthen their position. She suggests that the Targaryen bastards, or “Dragonseeds,” might be instrumental in securing the remaining dragon mounts on Dragonstone. This leads Rhaenyra to make a decisive move by summoning these Dragonseeds from King’s Landing, with the goal of assembling a formidable “army of bastards.”
The arrival of notable figures such as Ulf White and Hugh Hammer brings a fresh wave of hope. However, their initial attempts to bond with the dragons are fraught with difficulties, reminiscent of the disastrous efforts of Ser Steffon Darklyn. In a dramatic turn of events, Vermithor, one of the dragons, wreaks havoc, causing significant casualties among the Targaryen bastards. Despite these setbacks, the episode concludes on a victorious note: Hugh Hammer manages to forge a bond with Vermithor, and Ulf White successfully claims Silverwing, marking a pivotal moment in their struggle and setting the stage for future developments in the war.
