Sunfyre Awakens in Episode 7, Saving Aegon After 2-Episode Dragon Coma

Summary
Episode 7 reveals Sunfyre was likely never dead, but roused from a coma-like state to rescue Aegon in a dramatic return.
A fan theory tied the comeback to blood magic after Aegon killed a camp leader in episode 5 while holding one of Sunfyre’s scales, but the scene shows he used a dagger.
A more plausible explanation is that Aegon’s visit to the fallen dragon in episode 4 began Sunfyre’s recovery; Aegon had already told Larys that Sunfyre was alive.
The return follows Sunfyre’s apparent collapse after the Battle of Rook’s Rest and adds to episode 7’s wider upheaval, which also saw shifting loyalties in the civil war.
