Baela returns to Dragonstone with Jacaerys's body, and Rhaenyra's anger at his disobedience gives way to overwhelming grief. Daemon leaves his army to come to her, telling her about his vision at Harrenhal and urging her to continue the claim for which her sons died. Alyn and Addam find Corlys alive after the battle. In the Vale, Rhaena bargains for somewhere to hide with Sheepstealer, offering Lady Jeyne the protection of a dragon.
Alicent uses Helaena's authority to persuade the guards to admit Rhaenyra. Jasper discovers her plotting and attacks her, but Orwyle intervenes and has him arrested. Aemond has meanwhile taken Vhagar to Harrenhal, where he kills Simon Strong and others after learning that Daemon is gone. Wounded during the attack, he collapses before Alys and asks for help. Aegon and Larys escape their captors amid another attack, with Aegon insisting on a journey towards Rook's Rest.
Rhaenyra and Daemon enter King's Landing after the guards lay down their weapons. Daemon defeats the resistance inside the Red Keep, and the Gold Cloaks support Rhaenyra when knights block her path to the throne. Aegon cannot be produced, so Otto is brought from the dungeons instead. Daemon urges Rhaenyra to execute him publicly, and she does so before taking her seat. Alicent and Helaena are caught trying to leave and brought before the new queen.
