7. How does Episode 2 End?
The second season of House of the Dragon features its first major action scene, as the Cargyll twins Arryk and Erryk engage in a fateful and deadly fight against each other, resulting in the tragic deaths of both brothers.
It was difficult to determine which brother was which in the battle, as they were nearly identical. It is likely that it was Arryk who professed his love for his brother before they were separated, as Erryk was the one who departed from King’s Landing.
