House of the Dragon Season 3 premieres with the Battle of the Gullet, a brutal naval engagement where Corlys Velaryon leads his fleet against Targaryen ships. The episode debuts a massive, unruly dragon that turns ships into infernos and ends on a cliffhanger about whether Jacaerys Velaryon and his dragon Vermax survived. Steve Toussaint's Corlys Velaryon gets a standout showcase, and the introduction of an uncontrollable dragon immediately reshapes naval warfare and raises the stakes for the Targaryen succession and future alliances.
