In the biggest twist of the show that has probably shaped the part of the story we have seen in Game of Thrones, Princess Rhaenyra marries her uncle Daemon. If you don’t want to know any more spoilers, this is the time to stop reading. For those who are carrying on, the episode kind of explained the ‘river of blood’ flowing in the title theme. Daemon’s wife, Laena Valaryon, daughter of Lord Corlys Velaryon and sister to Laenor Velaryon who’s married to Rhaenyra, immolates herself by asking her dragon to spit fire on her. She does this to end the pain caused by her difficult childbirth. Following the tragedy, Daemon and his kids with Laena, return to Driftmark from Pentos. They lay Laena to rest with her family by her side. Also Read – House of the Dragon: GoT Prequel Has Targaryen Hair Wigs Bought From Europe

I’m concerned for their future though, I hope it’s not going to be the “end” of my favourite ship ever #Daemyra. Book readers probably know what I’m referring to. I want Daemon to be devoted to Rhaenyra, only Rhaenyra. #DaemonTargaryen #RhaenyraTargaryen #HouseOfTheDragon #HOTD https://t.co/JFNWtW74Ed

Yeah …
Rhaenyra doesn’t know that Laenor is alive. The Zig Zag was Daemon’s plan alone. Rhaenyra thinks that Laenor is dead.
Laenor is Daemon’s insurance against Rhaenyra if she goes off the reservation. #HouseOfTheDragon #HOTD

Meanwhile, Alicent Hightower’s father, Otto, returns to the king’s landing to claim his original position as King Viserys’ right hand. He continues to conspire with his daughter to make her son the king of the Iron throne. While her oldest son, Aegon remains the one to be widely drenched in women and wine, Aemond seems to be rising like a warrior. Only to get one eye slashed in a brutal household war between him and Rhaenyra’s sons Jacaerys and Lucerys after he addresses them as ‘bastard’, reacting to the rumours of them being illegitimate children.

Queen Alicent once again gives fire to the rumours but King Viserys continues to remain adamant on his stand. He announces to the court that any further discussions regarding the legitimacy of Rhaenyra’s children will result in tongues being cut off.
The episode was full of gore and fearsome relationships, paving the way to what lies ahead in terms of the epic ‘dance of the dragons’. The season is three episodes away from its grand finale and each character is claiming its significance in the story. What do you think of the future of Daemon and Rhaenyra’s relationship though?
