From crazed warlords to dragon-fueled standoffs to a momentous marriage proposal, this week’s HouseOfTheDragon episode does its dark business well.
But Daemon’s not the only dragon-rider in town. Princess Rhaenyra, his niece and his replacement as heir to the Iron Throne, shows up on a winged beast of her own, soaring through the low-hanging clouds in one of the episode’s most striking shots. Rhaenyra calls her uncle’s bluff; he tosses her the dragon egg and strides off to be reprimanded by Mysaria for his risky ruse. As a commoner, she’s much more likely to lose her head over it than Daemon is.
In hopes of mending the breach, Corlys proposes that Viserys cement the bond between their two ancient houses by marrying his 12-year-old daughter Laena . She dutifully follows her father’s instructions, telling Viserys she knows she wouldn’t have to “bed” him until she turns 14 — an upsetting reminder of the status of girls and women in Westeros.
But it’s easy to see that Rhaenyra is the one who’s really suffering from the decision. For one thing, she’s effectively losing her best friend to her own father. For another, she and Viserys had finally opened up to one another about their grief over the death of Rhaenyra’s mother; his choice to remarry calls their newfound closeness into question.
