What happened in House of the Dragon season 2 episode 2?
The second episode of House of the Dragon season 2, titled Rhaenyra The Cruel, was released on June 23. The episode focused on the aftermath of the assassination of Prince Jaehaerys.
The horrifying murder of Aegon II Targaryen's heir stirred chaos within House Targaryen. While Aegon reacted with rage and smashed his father's model of King's Landing, Haelena was seen silently mourning her son. Alicent, on the other hand, was worried about her daughter revealing her relationship with Ser Criston.
She reluctantly agreed to a public funeral for Jaehaerys, where the child’s defiled corpse was displayed to tarnish Rhaenyra’s image. Ser Otto suggested tarnishing Rhaenyra’s reputation further by calling her “Rhaenyra the Cruel.”

Tensions escalated when Aegon discovered the identity of the murderer of his son and ordered the execution of all the rat catchers who worked in the castle. Ser Otto berated him for this decision, which led Aegon to take a drastic step. He revoked Ser Otto's title as the hand of the king and appointed Ser Criston as his hand.
Meanwhile, at Dragonstone, Rhaenyra questioned Daemon's loyalty after discovering that the young prince's assassination resulted from Daemon's plan to kill Aemond. Ser Criston ordered Ser Arryk to impersonate his twin brother Erryk and kill Rhaenyra at Dragonstone.
This attempt failed when the twins engaged in a lethal brawl. At the end of this fight, Ser Erryk killed his brother while saving Rhaenyra. The episode concluded on an emotional note when a guilt-stricken Erryk ended his own life by falling on his sword.

Ahead of the premiere of House of the Dragon season 2 episode 3, Max released the teaser for the episode. The clip opens with Rhaenys Targaryen voicing her concern as she says:
"Soon they won't remember what it was that began the war in the first place."
Breathtaking shots of dragons soaring through the skies with their majestic form and fiery breath dominate the screen. The clip also features intense aerial combat between two dragons. The clash seems fierce, hinting at a pivotal battle. Rhaenyra Targaryen then says:
“If dragons begin fighting dragons, we invite our destruction.”
Her concern hints at the potential consequences of internal strife among the Targaryens. Aemond is seen suggesting going to war rather than waiting for it to be initiated while being in the castle. Scenes of Alicent's scheming and Daemon killing people with his sword also hint at the further developments of the story.
