‘House of the Dragon’ Season 3, Episode 7 Explained: How Is That Character Alive?

The seventh episode of "House of the Dragon" Season 3 brought back the character of Sunfyre, Aegon's dragon, who had seemingly perished during the Battle of Rook's Rest. His return could significantly impact Aegon's storyline, as well as potentially influence the fate of one of the central characters in the show. The penultimate episode of the season saw Aegon and his brother Tyrion ready to surrender to Rhaenyra's army, but Aegon's dragon, Sunfyre, re-emerged on the battlefield, revealing his survival.

This could indicate that the dragon had been in a dormant state, similar to how Aegon had felt it was alive during a previous encounter. Another speculative theory suggested that Aegon may have used blood magic to revive his dragon, though this seemed unlikely given the lack of evidence in the books or show. With Sunfyre alive, Aegon's chances of succeeding increase, as does the likelihood of Rhaenyra meeting her demise once again, according to the original books.
