Episode 4 of HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms marks a major tonal shift for the series.
In this review, I break down the fallout from Episode 3 and how the story sets up the Trial of Seven.

Episode 4 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms proves that this story is more than just a lighthearted, charming take on Westeros. Following the major reveal in Episode 3, this chapter explores the consequences, moral weight, and emotional fallout for Dunk and Egg.

In this spoiler-filled review, I discuss:
• The darker, more somber tone of Episode 4
• The fallout from Egg’s reveal and its impact on his relationship with Dunk
• Dunk’s imprisonment and conversations with Egg and Prince Baelor
• Costume and armor design, including the wide variety of houses at the tournament
• The importance of Prince Baelor as a figure of honor and restraint
• The setup for the Trial of Seven and why it raises the stakes dramatically

While A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms remains a smaller story than Game of Thrones, Episode 4 shows that the consequences for these characters are just as serious—and potentially tragic.

💬 What did you think of Episode 4? Is this the strongest episode of the season so far?
