House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 5 - It's Time for Plan B

House of the Dragon ends on its most brutal image yet — Chanel, Sharmane and Brandon recap an episode where the walls literally close in. 🐉Welcome back to We Was Watching, the podcast where we break down the shows everyone's talking about. This week we're recapping House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 5 — the HBO Max episode where Criston Cole's death wish, Ormund's coin scheme, and Rhaenyra's paranoia all start closing in.We get into ALL of it: the riverlords and Winter Wolves stalled at the Blackwater after Cole and Gwayne Hightower burn the bridge, Aemond convalescing at Harrenhal under Alys Rivers' care, Alicent smuggling moon tea and the reveal that Helaena is pregnant, Aegon's fake-out redemption at Rook's Rest (spoiler: the jerkface version is back), Ormund Hightower putting Daeron's face on a coin and declaring him king, and Daemon and Luthor Largent hunting whoever's butchering the City Watch. Plus Rhaenyra's growing conviction that it's all connected — and that horrifying final tableau in the Gold Cloaks' barracks. And is Sunfyre actually dead? We break it all down against George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood. Full spoiler-filled review and breakdown.Team Green or Team Black — hit play and watch along with us. ▶️👍 Enjoyed this recap?
