The third episode of House of the Dragon closed with Daemon Targaryen winning his battle with the Crabfeeder in the Stepstones. Acting without the King’s command, Daemon and Corlys did battle with the Crabfeeder’s forces with an end goal to let loose their trade routes and eliminating a dangerous foe. Daemon did just that by cutting down the Crabfeeder and proving his strength. Presently, with the fourth episode of the series set to make a big appearance, fans are wondering if more devastation would be coming.

The fourth episode of House of the Dragon is named “King of the Narrow Sea,” which probably refers to Daemon, following his victory in the Stepstones. The title of “king,” regardless of whether used in jest, could return a target on Daemon’s. The character seems to be a vital figure to the overall story, so he’s reasonable safe, however there’s never a great opportunity to say never with regards to the Game of Thrones franchise.

With regards to a major death in the fourth episode, one character probably comes to mind for all fans: King Viserys. It’s inevitable before the King of Westeros ends his rule and vacates the high position.

When Will King Viserys Pass on?

Over the past several weeks, viewers have seen the health of Viserys in a steep decline. He has a sickness that is eating away at his body, resulting in the loss of different fingers in the third episode. Things are simply going to deteriorate for Viserys over the long haul, making the debate about his beneficiary considerably more compelling.

At some point, there will be a period bounce that sees new actors come in for Rhaenyra and Alicent, officially beginning their stories as adults on the show. That change will probably coincide with the death of King Viserys. The two events will at least take place around the same place in the Targaryen timeline.

So there’s always a chance we could see King Viserys kick the bucket in the fourth episode, however he’s probably got somewhat more time on the show. Either way, it will be coming in the near future.
