The short version
- House of the Dragon season 3, episode 7 doesn't end on a major cliffhanger like last week, but it does put a few pivotal pieces into position as the show creeps toward another explosive season finale.
- So let's unpack the most important moments from the episode and what they all mean.
- With the Blacks now ruling King’s Landing, the Greens have had to fight dirty.
What happened
Their latest move, under Ormund's guidance, was to capture Tumbleton, a market town not too far from King’s Landing. With the townspeople effectively his hostages, Ormund correctly surmises that Rhaenyra won’t attack with her dragons and risk killing innocent smallfolk.
Why it matters
This gives him and his army plenty of time to plan.
