The last episode of House of The Dragon is finally the first time where Rhaenyra could set her foot down by her own merits without the help of Daemon or her Council that really doesn't help so much over all but still Mysaria is part of this Council and it was her input that got Rhaenyra to move forward. Episode 7 is called "The Red Sowing" where we basically watch the call to a lot of Targaryen bastards at Kings Landing and Dragon Stone, with the hope that between all this people Rhaenyra would find those with enough Targaryen blood so they could bond with the dragons that were missing riders, all based on the premise that lords and pure bloods already betray Rhaenyra so why not trying the common folk??, it has always been though that only dragon lords could bond with dragons and that doesn't seem to be true but the problem lays in how loyal this bastards will be? so far in the House of The Dragons we have seen both sides of the coin, John Snow been the most loyal bastard probably ever born and then you have Ramsay Bolton the definition of betrayal so who are this dragon seeds going to be?

The episode core begins with the dragon seeds event which is a term borrowed from the Fire and Blood books. The "Red Sowing" is the term that describes the bloodshed that follows people’s attempts to bond with dragons, after all anytime someone attempts to and fail, this ends up really bad, most cases it seem that the person attempting to bond with the dragon ends up been eaten or roasted. They didn't start easy, then went right to Vermithor who basically start feeding on some of the unsuccessful ones who didn't have what it takes, its not written in paper but it seems that each dragon look for different qualities on their rider.

Jace has a heated conversation with Rhaenyra, explaining why he's so worried about the dragon seeds. He thought having a dragon was his one way to keep himself in line for the Iron Throne, same as the dragon keepers he felt that either the dragon seeds are not worthy of dragons, only reserve for lords and it would be a direct danger for him in the future as anyone with Targaryen blood could claim a dragon or even worst what if in the future appears that anyone can claim a dragon with or without Targaryen blood??

At this pace Aemond is starting to get surrounded by enemy at his own council real quick, it is the example when Larys Strong tells Jasper not to tell Aemond about the dragon and the new Dragon Rider, Seasmoke Rider, mainly because he despises Aemond and wants to get back at him.

House of The Dragon, Season 2 had a great balance between episodes, they are not all full of fights but they all had very intense moments with suspense that replace the need of carnage on every episode. Episode 7 has turn out to be one of my favorite episode since he watch a bunch of dragon action, from new riders, dragon snacks and new dragons flight. It is a very interesting episode and it builds up for some major events that are going to happen in the finale. This episode has all that one needs, the dragons, political schemes and the growth of the characters.
