House of the Dragon Season 2 finale preview: Will Helaena join the dragon fight?

As a passionate fan who has delved deep into the world of George R.R. Martin and his epic tales, I can’t help but feel both excitement and trepidation as we approach the finale of House of the Dragon. The story of Helaena, one of the most tragic characters in Fire & Blood, is set to unfold differently in this series, and while some changes have already been made, such as the absence of Maelor, I remain cautiously optimistic that the showrunners will do justice to her character.


If you’re familiar with George R.R. Martin’s book, Fire & Blood, you’re aware of Helaena’s sorrowful tale. Will House of the Dragon alter this narrative significantly?

As a longtime fan of George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series and HBO’s adaptations, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of “House of the Dragon.” With that being said, I must admit that I was somewhat disappointed to learn about the changes made to Helaena Targaryen’s storyline in the show.

1) Aemond faces Helaena and requests her assistance in bringing Dreamfyre into the battle. Dreamfyre, as you know, has a heart-wrenching backstory from the books. She truly deserved more, and perhaps the show will provide that. However, it’s important to note that Helaena isn’t a combatant, and her decision may not easily be swayed by Aemond’s request.

The promise of a major fight in the House of the Dragon Season 2 finale

It seems Larys has resumed conversing with Aegon, informing him that Aemond is displeased. This isn’t unexpected given the jolt Aemond and Vhagar experienced in the last episode. Fresh dragonriders have joined Rhaenyra’s faction.

1. Aegon appears anxious, while Larys is uncertain about Aemond’s actions. Alicent warns Aemond that his course will lead to destruction and death. Criston Cole is well aware they’re heading towards their demise. Could this imply that Criston meets an untimely end by the season finale? It seems few would mourn such an outcome. (paraphrased from your original sentence)

Simultaneously, Rhaenyra must collaborate with her newly assigned dragon riders. However, it’s challenging for them to pledge allegiance and obey her commands since they’ve been distant from her and have yet to demonstrate loyalty.

The trailer suggests that there will be a major confrontation ahead, but it’s unclear whether this marks a turning point for Rhaenyra or if her losses are due to Daemon’s actions in the Riverlands.
