HOUSE OF THE DRAGON 2X3 || Helaena forgave Alicent (ENG.SUB)

[@stingerjohnny9951]

She just pulled the daughter version of “I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed,” and it wrecked Alicent’s whole world.

[@matthewriley7826]

Betray your own family for a “friend”, yeah Helaena knew no one was gonna benefit from this…

[@nomisunrider6472]

Helaena: I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m totally fine, it’s not a big deal, kids die everyday. Alicent: You just had a mental breakdown an hour ago. Helaena: And things are only going to get worse for me from here, so I’m gonna live in denial while I still can.

[@Elizabeth-hc3mi]

I wonder if the reason Haelena is calm about Jaehyras's death is because she understands it had to happen, that "It is all a story" and that her and Jaehyraes are pawns.

[@mj7814]

It's really tough to see Helaena grappling with Jaehaerys's passing. It's genuinely heartbreaking.

[@Freya__]

Book Spoliers... . . . . . . . I think Helaena forgives Alicent because eventually she is going to take her own life and Alicent does go mad with grief by hearing the news of what happened to her.

[@matthewriley7826]

Or giving up Aegon for execution when she KNOWS just who is gonna get executed…

[@matthewriley7826]

I’m looking forward to Helaena and Rhaenyra’s interactions when she takes Kings Landing….

[@zoily8mii]

I’m not even going to mention the fact that Helena was only speaking of her child but Alicent took the plan tea and made another girl take plan tea because Aegon was sleeping and graping women. Soooo I know that hit her hard

[@ixchellcardoze7578]

Alicent carrying Jaehaera near a window... A reference to how Jaehaera's early death will be at the end of Dance of Dragons?

[@balihgdah9968]

When she turns around reminds me of season 1 when Rhaenys turned and looked at Rhaenyra, they both dropped bombs. Helaena: I said I forgive you Rhaenys: and your father is no fool

[@snoopy6477]

What's heartbreaking about this for me is that Helaena thought she didn't deserve to grieve just because the smallfolk had it worse than her. She's hiding all the pain and I think it will break her sooner and it will explode in everyone's faces like they didn't see it coming.

[@smartgirlppbly1511]

Isn't Helena was supposed to be heavily depressed after death of Jahaereys? I remember different story from book. 🤔

[@BaltimoreKid1996]

Oh my sweet girl helaena ❤

[@13579hee]

I still dont understand what this forgiveness is about

[@Cincelia]

I am guessing 2 things. maybecshe forgivew her for sleeping with Crispy Corpse and Helaena had no protector by her side or its forshadowing since she is a dreamer and knows something is going to happen and forgives her for that

[@allielesko4543]

It could also be forgiveness for making her do the precession in frount of the small folk or something more distant like making her marry Aegon although both of those decisions were not entirely alicent

[@stingerjohnny9951]

Alicent has fucked her daughter’s life up in a LOT of different ways, so I’d say this is more an umbrella “I forgive you.”

[@youextras]

Or maybe because in the end Alicent outlives all her children, alone, hating the colour green, talking to herself, hating what she had done, blaming herself, Heleana sees ahead and pay close attention at those paintings in her room, she saw what Aemond was going to do hence the begging question "was it worth the price?". I would also believe that the tapestry in the opening credit song is being made by her, she would've been a wonderful asset for the Blacks as they have people who would atleast try to pay attention to her(Jace, Rhaenyra, Daemon and even Mysaria)

[@fabiozanabria5614]

For starting the war

[@MaCome4631]

Hello folk, just a friendly reminder for us all after I scrolled to read some comments : punctuation really is a key factor to the comprehension to one's text. One may write as much as they will, without punctuation, it will be unnecessarily painful, and many may even give up on reading one's text. May you have a pleasant day ❤

[@highwind8124]

Alicent: "You forgive me for what, you creepy fuck?"

[@L2L732]

Nah, Alicent has been trying to admit her “sin” (Fresh widow sex with Cole, and therefor distracting him from doing his job of protecting her children’s family) to her father because she wants someone to say they forgive her and she will stop feeling terrible about it in the inside….. Helaena sensed that and not wanting her mom to use her as a distraction from her own self loathing by focusing on “helping” her with her grief over her son’s death despite Helaena saying she had already accepted it and moved past it, went ahead and told her mother what she wanted to hear……😅🤔👌🐲

[@scrolls4358]

What's your problem? Why turn a precious moment into a vile one.

[@matthewriley7826]

“For turning against your own family you spoiled hypocritical c….”

[@sunshine88882]

rhaenys and aegon next pls

[@anivasileva7608]

SPOILEEEEERRRRRSS!!!!!! I thought Helaena forgave Alicent's fornication with Cole. But now that i watched the 4th episode i think Helaena might forgave Alicent for taking that potion and killing the embryo growing inside of her.

[@Jasmine-cs9dp]

Bro what💀

[@acuyra]

I’m 100% sure that’s not it.

[@laurafabianmarrero]

No that is not it at all

[@eleanorrigby7897]

Spoiler alert: The baby will be born but he'll be mentally disabled because of the potion she took

[@SmittyB88]

She forgives her for putting Aegon on the throne and starting a war with Rhaenyra for power.

[@highwind8124]

Helaena is low-key evil. For her to know about her kid about to die, her only preparation was the sew that shroud. "They just want THE BOY". "They killed THE BOY". She's not sad about the kid dying. Or she's over it easily. That's a lot of coincidences. Something is up with her.

[@cobalt-teal9589]

You aren’t reading her correctly, the show is heavily implying she’s neurodivergent.

[@oscaralvarenga4391]

You are seriously reading a neurodivergent person wrongly.

[@heartsmyfaceforever8140]

She’s not evil. She’s been seeing horrific things everyday her whole life. She came in that room to console her mother for being the reason the rat catcher was able to get to her and her kids. She’s trying to console the people who are still alive.

[@highwind8124]

Blood: "Do you want to do that thing where you beg me to take your life instead?" [Heleana shakes her head no, keeps pointing at "the boy"]

[@highwind8124]

"What if he does not want to be king?" [to Aegon] She looks resentful as she says that. It's like she doesn't want him to ever be king.
