Aegon and Alicent’s clumsiness came as a sinister omen for both of them.

House of the Dragon ’s brand new season 2 has hit fans pretty hard with its latest episode that finally got as close to the approaching war as possible.

Titled The Red Dragon and the Gold, the episode saw the first major battle between the Greens and the Blacks with both sides suffering significant losses which are likely to intensify the upcoming action more than ever before.

With the Blacks’ Rhaenys dying alongside her dragon and the Greens’ Aegon now unable to rule Westeros properly, the show has once again stepped away from George R.R. Martin’s novel Fire & Blood. However, it still gave multiple signs for those harsh plot twists which not many viewers paid real attention to.

Before Rhaenys and Aegon, later on joined by Aemond, are swirled in a ruthless dragon fight, the episode is pretty clear about what is going to happen next, and few eagle-eyed fans grasped it before everyone else did.

In a Reddit thread dedicated to a discussion of House of the Dragon’s latest episode, one user pointed out a weird scene with Aegon overturning a vase from the table as if he was a naughty cat.

The comment quickly garnered tens of responses with the most upvoted one of them stating that the broken vase was nothing else but a pure foreshadowing moment for Aegon’s defeat alongside his dragon Sunfyre, the same prediction that the scene with Alicent dropping a dragon figurine had.

According to the user, “The vase had a dragon on it and it shattered. Allicent dropped one of Viserys’ lego dragons and the wing broke off” thus stating that the episode had given a major hint at two dragons’ deaths before the whole battle even unfolded.

Other responses also gave a much more profound perspective to the sequence as one Redditor stressed that “the vase was a flagon, which rhymes with dragon” and another one noted that the dragon on the flagon that Aegon had broken was golden, which is a clear reference to Aegon’s dragon Sunfyre.

With four episodes of the brand new season in, it feels like House of the Dragon’s fans now need to be on the alert for any minor detail that might in fact be a huge hint foreshadowing future plot twists.

The show’s next episode will arrive on Max on July 14.
