Spoilers ahead for episode 8 of “House of the Dragon.” King Viserys (Paddy Considine) is dead at last, after increasingly deteriorating each week throughout the series. This has major repercussions for the story, including the question of whether his daughter and named heir, Princess Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy), will actually be able to succeed him to the Throne, as planned. The episode begins with yet another time jump. It’s now been several years since King Viserys’ brother Daemon (Matt Smith) and Rhaenyra got married at the end of last episode.
They now have two sons, and she’s pregnant again. One of her sons is named Aegon, which is a hilariously petty move (since that’s also the name of her half-brother, Alicent’s oldest son). But for some reason, the show decided to skip over giving us insight into whether it was Daemon or Rhaenyra who made this choice – or, showing how Alicent reacted to it. Apparently there’s no room for some juicy drama when we’ve got to skip over it for time jumps! The meat of this hour involves the issue of who will rule over Driftmark, which is Corlys Velaryon’s (Steve Toussaint) seat of power.
He’s been injured offscreen. Officially, it’s supposed to go to Rhaenyra’s son, who is Corlys’ grandson. But her sons’ status as bastards is an open secret, so Corlys’ brother, Vaemond Velaryon, decides to make a stink about it, claiming that he should inherit it instead.Everyone convenes at court to get this matter settled.
For Daemon and Rhaneyra, who have both been away for years, it’s an unsettling homecoming. In their absence, Alicent has traded a lot of Targaryen decor for religious imagery. Alicent’s kids are also more grown up, traded in for older actors after this time jump.
