Rhaerya Confronts Alicent and Learns Viserys Story of Ice and Fire Final Scene House of the Drag

[jonathan]

alicent could not stop the dance of the dragons anymore at this point even if she wanted to. she could have stopped her fathers plan to usurp the throne if she didnt misunderstood viserys. even rhaenyra after her son was killed by aemond still didnt want to go to full out war and use the dragons. but then daemon did what he did and now there is no turning back. rhaenyra now knows her father didnt change his mind and knows she has his blessing to get her throne by any means and she will send her dragons to war now

Alicent: “You’ve no army.”

Rhaenyra: “I have the Velaryon fleet, the support of the Starks, Knights of the Vale, the Blackwoods and more than a dozen other noble houses, plus thirteen dragons but go on.”

3:30 Alicent realized she misunderstood and is about to be responsible for the war.

[Nooom]

I think Aliscent's daughter knew. That's why she said "I forgive you" earlier in the episode. It surprised Aliscent as she didn't know she was guilty of anything, apart from sleeping with a knight, which her daughter clearly doesn't care about. But she started the chain of events that got her nephew killed with her mistake.

"You know what Aemond is." When even your mom knows you're a bit psycho.

[polka]

Its kinda becoming a bit ridiculous now how a character can just sneak into kings landing / dragonstone and not get caught.

[afrozasharminasha]

But one thing I find admirable that she even after her son's death tried to find a peaceful way...war should never be wanted until the last end a ruler should also know that war brings destruction to people...

[fayedunaway]

"Alicent kinda forgot that Rhaenyra is a threat to her son's lives"

[jessedellross]

Alicent refuses to admit she messed up and caused this war. Or the fact she wanted to usurp the throne anyway and all this is her fault. Hers and her families.

But by the end, she will realize her mistake. Unfortunately the realm will bleed for her foolishness and her families treason

[punkthatiscyber]

"The... the Conqueror...?"
YES, YOU GOOF

[garlantyrell]

Rhaenyra was foolish in going into King’s Landing alone to talk to Alicent, but she was even more foolish to say that Viserys loved Alicent when he was alive. He did not love her at all, as he was more so in love with Aemma. It was always Aemma Arryn who won his heart. He only married Alicent because he was expected to remarry.

[a.m.]

Despite being more bookish than Rhaenyra, Alicent kind of forgot about Aegon the Conqueror.

[jmiller]

The tragedy is that even if Alicent tried to undo the damage, it's too late, the boulder has already started rolling.

One thing i always think about is, if Rhaenyra had succeeded upon Viserys' death, would she have ultimately allowed Aegon, Aemond, etc, to live?

[spagetti]

seriously? woopsie daisy, wrong aegon? lol

[Janary]

This kind of plays out like a sitcom.... Lol

[kushagraprasad]

Rhaenyra: The tresspass was not mine.
Yet Alicent knows the blacks had a hand. Blood confessed he was sent by Daemon Targaryen. That makes Alicent think that Rhaenyra is a liar since Daemon is her husband.

[robynsrecs]

Alicent - no no, I don't believe you
Rhaenyra -....yes you do.

[anonymousnation]

One thing I noticed that Alicent had no real friend after Rhaenyra. She's mostly by herself and don't have anyone to reach out to for emotional support. Meanwhile Rhaenyra made new friends even found lover in her. Her open and generous spirit makes her likable. Alicent on the other hand is uptight so people stay at distance from her.

[aishahamma]

Here is a question. What would you have you said if alicent had changed Vesris, s last words. You would have said it wasn't a mistake because if alicent really didn't know. She would have lied so rhaenyra would think Vesris did change his mind . Now that she told rhaenyra what Vesris really said you still say alicent didn't make a mistake

[davidl]

I wish Bran would travel back in time and tell Rhaerya about the promised prince jon snow, i bet you she would have give up on her claim right away and the war would be over in a fortnight.

Btw absolutely hate this scene..this is like the dumbass trip to capture an undead all over again. In the book neither side cared about legitimacy… they just wanted to win. The fact Alicent allows her to leave unharmed goes against everything she is in the show and in the book. If she truly seeks peace like the show claims then kill/capturing Rhaerya is the best way to ensure thousands don’t die.
