Episode 6 "The Morrow" — Full Recap (SPOILERS)

The A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 1 finale opens in the aftermath of the Trial of Seven. Ser Duncan the Tall — played by Peter Claffey — is gravely injured and recovering, with a maester fearing the worst. Lyonel "The Laughing Storm" Baratheon, played by Daniel Ings, arrives to offer Dunk a place at Storm's End, memorably declaring he will love him like a brother if he accepts, and hate him like one if he doesn't.

Dunk declines, haunted by the death of Prince Baelor Targaryen, who died after being struck by his own brother Maekar Targaryen — played by Sam Spruell — during the Trial of Seven. Dunk attempts to comfort Valarr Targaryen, Baelor's son and new heir apparent. He then faces a tense audience with Maekar himself, who acknowledges that the truth of Baelor's death will be twisted by history.

Meanwhile, Egg — played by Dexter Sol Ansell, portraying the young Prince Aegon V Targaryen — overhears Dunk say he is "done with princes," leaving Egg feeling rejected. A haunting flashback sequence reveals a painful truth: Dunk asks the ghost of Ser Arlan of Pennytree why he was never formally knighted — confirming a long-held fan theory that Dunk's knighthood may not have been legitimate.

The finale closes on an iconic note: Dunk and Egg riding off together toward new adventures, with Egg cheerfully correcting Dunk that there are not seven but nine kingdoms — a winking title card change to "A Knight of the Nine Kingdoms" confirms the show's playful self-awareness. In the closing sting, an enraged Maekar Targaryen discovers that Egg has snuck away without permission, shouting "Where the f*** is he?" as the credits roll to Tennessee Ernie Ford's "Sixteen Tons."
