A 'Cast of Ice and Fire

"The Red Sowing' & 'The Queen Who Ever Was" Part 2 (HOTD E7&8) (ACOIAF #16)


Listen Later

Fiona and Emma return for Part 2 of their two-part, five-hour deep dive into House of the Dragon Season 2, Episodes 7 and 8 — and they are unhinged, overcaffeinated, and armed with lore.

This time, we’re deep into Harrenhal, where a weirwood bleeds, the wind whispers “traitor,” and a literal Green Man creeps through the trees (yes, really). Jace pouts, Baela claps back, and Daemon dreams of bloodraven, the Long Night, and a timeline that might finally connect him to Dany. Meanwhile, Helaena casually drops spoilers about Aemond’s fate — and his guilt — in the most devastating balcony scene since Romeo & Juliet.

We also get the long-awaited Alicent/Rhaenyra face-off — eight and a half minutes of perfect writing, perfect acting, and one queen politely telling the other to go walk into the sea.

It’s packed with lore, book insights, face acting analysis, and the exact right amount of wine.
