It's almost time for another episode of House of the Dragon but what exactly can we expect in Episode 8? There are speculations that the Game of Thrones prequel is set for another major casualty following last week's jaw-dropping cop-out. But which main character will bite the dust in tonight's episode? And are there other characters who will end up dead before the series concludes with its first season?
House of the Dead Episode 8: What To Expect in The Lord of the Tides?
We already got a glimpse of the chaos that is yet to come in the House of the Dragon Episode 8 teaser. Not surprisingly, it confirms that there is going to be yet another time leap as the young Targaryens are once again recast. This time, Alicent Hightower's children are older teens or young adults while Rhaenyra Targaryen's sons are teenagers.
House of the Dragon Episode 8: Who Will Die This Week?
The House of the Dragon Episode 8 teaser didn't reveal any major deaths although it is suggested that someone isn't doing very well. King Viserys I Targaryen is notably absent in the preview and Otto Hightower is shown sitting on the Iron Throne claiming he is speaking on the King's behalf.
For now, Viserys is the only main character who might die in House of the Dragon Episode 8 but there is also a chance he will survive until the penultimate episode. With that in mind, there's a possibility that we will go through this week without any major deaths but that doesn't mean that the characters will remain unscathed.
House of the Dragon Episode 7 is now available on HBO Max. House of the Dragon Episode 8 is titled The Lord of the Tides and will premiere on HBO on Sunday, October 9, 2022.
