House of the Dragon Season 3 Finale Recap and Review: There’s little sense of an ending here, but this spectacular battle left everything to play for in the final season.

Seasoned Westeros watchers will see potential problems arising with each scene of this episode. Everywhere Rhaenyra turns there’s someone looking for a piece of her (rodent bites both literal and figurative). Any one of these requests could be key to her undoing, and it’s very clear that she’s navigating a dangerous path.
