[@rawkmode6315]

The episode director said that Daemon set the whole thing up, using his ex-girlfriend's spies to go and tell Otto. The point was to bait Otto into revealing that he spies on Raenerya, and piss off the king (which obviously worked.) In terms of the incest encounter in the brothel, Daemon thought he would be in control and go just far enough with his niece to give the spies something to report...but then discovered that Raenerya was DTF, which threw him off his game and caused him to leave in panic. Since he loves his family, and probably is closest to Raenerya, he realized that he had fucked up and sullied her honor, putting her in a very bad position with the king (and everyone else, should they find out.) This is why he claimed the deed when he was questioned, and asked for Raenerya's hand. It was his way of trying to restore her honor after he had foolishly betrayed her without ever having thought through all the possible consequences.

[@BenjamUniverse]

this is the problem im having with this show. too much is having to be made clear in the after the episode commentaries. this stems from them being a little too subtle in the way they are telling the story. they need to add more dialogue to make some of the characters actions clearer.

[@MariaKryvohub]

@@BenjamUniverse Very very true. It's kinda pissing me off. You telling me I literally need to fucking search and find out some commentaries to actually understand what's going on? Like, im investing my time and my interest. I'm theorizing, analyzing. Finding a meaning. But than, as it turns out, director literally had all this other shit in mind that I couldnt EVER GUESS from the show itself. Because as far as I concerned, Daemon sincerely wanted to show his sister the real city, have some fun with her, which lead to some fucked up shit because he is kinda fucked up and she kinda don't mind. But, in a dignifying manner, Daemon actually stops himself because he sees this shit as being too wrong. But no. For some reason I should've guessed directors intentions that tell almost completely different story. And that's not the first time.

@@BenjamUniverse You and Микита Кривогуб don't need to go to after show commentaries. Just watch the show & pay attention. Everything needed to understand what Rawk stated is in the damn show. If you can't pay attention enough to see it or you don't want to spend the effort then stop watching. I don't want the show to start babying me through the plots just because you can't understand good subtle story telling. Majority of the audience is able to pick up on these things within a 2nd watch through. Half the reactors pick up on it on their first go around. It's shown clear as day that Daemon's old "common whore" was working with the same boy that went to Otto. The boy wasn't even in the same room as Daemon/Raenerya when they started kissing & only got up to investigate after seeing her not Daemon. How would the kid know what happened? He didn't even see her undressed as she had her clothes back on by the time the kid saw her. Daemon literally pulls away from the kisses & you can see in his face the regret & he runs away in panic ON SCREEN. You can see Raenerya start to lead the kisses when he pulls back. It's clear he wasn't expecting her to enjoy it. They've made it clear 150 times in previous episodes Daemon cares about her a lot but he's extremely rash & sometimes doesn't think through his actions. It's also clear she likes him extremely. She's always chasing after him when he's around, she was the happiest person to see him come through the doors with the crown. You didn't need the commentary you just needed to pay attention. I'm sorry this is harsh. I just get frustrated when people target good non-babying story telling because they don't like the complexity of it.

[@theperson8539]

That's not gaslighting, that's just lying. Either way, the way the writers talk about Daemon and some of the characters worries me, it almost makes me feel like the first season was a fluke. They act like Daemon being liked by audiences is surprising in any way... that just seems like a disconnection from reality, a cool and interesting character can be well-liked, no matter their moral disposition. They also made Alicent way too... I don't know the right word for it, blameless? Either way, they've kind of reduced her character, she lacks agency and makes for a sh*tty antagonist thus far. Rhaenys is just plain annoying, she kills a bunch of people and then chooses not to kill the few people that deserved death and would've prevented so much needless bloodshed, and then she acts like a complete c*nt on Dragonstone. I feel like the second season may be the be-all, end-all for this show, because if they make any more mistakes with these characters, then that'll spell the death of ASOIAF.

[@iris-xo]

the sex scenes were done very well and showed the pleasure of a woman well, they switched back and forth between the constrast of Rhaenyra's night compared to Alicent's, who was lonely tending to babies and basically imprisoned in a castle, who has to please the King whenever he wants. Meanwhile, Daemon shows and tells Rhaenyra how sex is meant to be pleasurable for the woman just as the man, something Alicent has not got to experience and may never not experience as she does not actually love the King. That's why Alicent was a bit angry at learning about the gossip of Rhaenyra's night, she's envious of the freedom Rhaenyra gets to experience.

[@_trixieburg26]

You've commented this on almost every reaction video I have watched lol

[@somestuff7876]

It's both. Alicent jealous of Rhaenyra's freedom and she jealous of losing her to Daemon (and I don't think she realise it). Besides my read on their relationship in 1-2 episodes. Where attraction seemed mutual, but not acted upon. My assumption was made on two things: there was no reason to have shots with them hugging in front of a mirror, lying on each other knees, talking about running away together on the dragon(!), Rhaenyra's hurt when her father choose her friend (it felt more than just betrayal, even through she didn't have a real choice same as the Guard) etc. And actresses interviews where they tell that no one stopped them at adding another layer to the relationship between the characters. So, it has to be intentional. And I don't see GoT or HBO playing into queerbating for no reason. The sex scenes were done amazingly, so natural and fresh looking. Clare Kilner (director) did a stunning job in this episode. We certainly got a woman perspective from the characters and the director.

As in the book Alicent is older than Rhaenyra and they aren’t even that close this was something they changed in the show to give Alicent more of a origin story, so I wouldn’t call it “queerbaiting” it’s simply they were best friends and that’s why Rhaenyra wanted to explore the world with Alicent.

She can have whole bastard children but besides the sea snake none of the lords of Westeros have the “right” to say sh*t. This just proves how little respect they have for her and her position, and also how her father has allowed them to continue with that instead of building her up so no one can contest it.

He took the hat off because he wanted to be seen with Rhaenyra, which would give him leverage over Viserys when he asks to marry her. Two things with Daemon: Everything he does have double meanings and he always aims to have the upper hand. Example: You assumed Daemon stopped because of guilt about doing that to his niece, which might be true in part. But he is also a manipulative fuck that wanted to get at Viserys by ruining his chances of marrying Rhaenyra to one of the many lords that would like to improve their houses standing in relation to the crown. Which is why he didn´t argue with the accusation of "ruining" Rhaenyra, despite them not going through with it. And the third possibility is that he simply wanted her because he is actually in love with her. Or maybe even sees a bit of himself in her (which can be seen in how she manipulates Ser Crispin while also clearly being attracted to him). PLus Daemon possibly being impotent. Suffice to say, all of the above are true to varying degrees and there is *a lot* of conflicting emotions that all influence his actions.

[@somestuff7876]

"PLus Daemon possibly being impotent." That one. Plus his lover ("not so common whore") was there to further his story about defiling Rhaenyra as, I believe, he was supposed to do. And passing needed information to Otto as she was the White worm. BTW, does that mean that Daemon wanted his brother to hear about "The Heir for a day" speech? Or did she switched to his side later?

[@ValyrianSteel00]

Did you NOT watch the HBO House of the Dragon aftershow? They went into detail on this scene with Daemon and Rhaenyra. There is no assumption any longer and it is absolutely true that Daemon was experiencing guilt because he cares dearly about his Niece. The moment he realized she wanted it is the moment he stopped. Also, you do NOT need to watch the AfterShow to read the body language. He hit the wall because his guilt wouldn't allow him to continue. If he enjoyed being manipulative then he would have either continued seducing her or just left without hitting the wall. Unfortunately. I know a lot of spoilers which I obviously won't mention here. But it is always fun to read the comments of people who think they know these characters better than the writers or actors themselves. 😂

That last scene Rhaenyra didn't have a choice. The point of that scene was to essentially tell Rhaenyra to fall in line or else. Viserys already said he would have disinherited her for Aegon for what she did and Rhaenyra isn't stupid. She's not going to not take the tea and risk being pregnant with a bastard and get disinherited by her father. The succession is the most important thing to both Viserys and Rhaenyra. I also think the point of that scene was to show that Rhaenyra and Viserys' relationship is further damaged because Viserys is over Rhaenyra's bullshit and that was a really close call.

2:42 These two are from families that are basically the Hatfields and McCoys of the Game of Thrones universe. The Blackwoods(the boy's) are the Hatfields, and the Brackens(the older boy's) are the McCoys. The Blackwoods were said to be kings of the Riverlands for a time, before the Brackens, who were petty lords that bred horses, bought mercenaries to depose them. There was also a bastard born of both houses that brought them together and founded a new house, House Justman, who ruled for a century or more before they were deposed themselves. Both families also share blood from each other, since marriages tend to bring families together, but something always causes the old wounds to reopen. Whenever something happens that makes them both team up, then it is very serious. Also, there will be something that will make their rivalry leave the entire realm awash with blood for generations, though all members of the cast of House of the Dragon will be long since dead. 3:02. Knowing the Blackwoods have the Brackens as their neighbors, and have more raisable troops than the Tullys, they probably have a more martial culture than most other houses. 3:12. And nothing of value was lost, well apart from the Brackens likely losing their heir. 5:21. Really goes to show that these two love each other. Even four and a half years after their big row, the two still love each other. 5:34. Especially the Velaryons, since that means they can bring in eastern goods from Volantis, the Arbor, the Summer Islands, and Qarth again. 5:45. Probably, Viserys always seems like more of a jokester when in his cups. 7:42. Or at least Braavos as Corlys seems to want, then their power would be doubled or squared, seeing as the Bravossi fleet alongside their Velaryon counterparts would rule the oceans of the known world, especially since the Bravossi can lay a ship in a drydock right before dawn and finish the whole fethin' thing by sunset. This is mostly due to all of their ships being built to a single design. They also dye the sails purple, which helps strengthen the whole Bravoss is Venice thing. 26:18.

lmao one of your funniest reactions yet! also i believe sheera’s right that alicent isn’t into rhaenyra, she is envious of her freedom, especially when she herself is in such a miserable situation being a baby machine for the king (something she was pressured to do by her father for power). this episode established their opposing power dynamics, like the juxtaposing during both sex scenes.

[@ernieojeda]

I love how she could read every episode you guys watch no matter what series 😂 and accurate too

[@dafafadila1729]

in this episode Rhaenyra basically just smashed her uncle, got her cheeks clapped by his knight, and gaslighted her father into firing his kingshand

[@iris-xo]

what..... her and Daemon didn't smash, Ser Criston is not "his" knight & she didn't gaslight the King, she just told him the obvious and said he needed to do his part as King finally to protect their house and her even though it's obviously too late

[@Weeby_historian]

@@iris-xo Rhaenyra isn’t doing anything to secure her own succession. Literally every time she’s interacted with a lord or lady she’s done her best to piss them off instead of trying to form allies. I like her as a character but she literally has Viserys level of political savvy, which makes sense since she’s the one who raised her

[@iris-xo]

@@Weeby_historian what does that have to do with anything we're talking about in this thread? I never said what Rhaenyra was doing was right lol she's a teenager coming into her own and she agreed to marry Laenor which is the best option at strengthing their house. I was just correcting the person above at claiming she "gaslit" the king... when all she did was state the obvious, something the King had begun suspecting also which is Otto Hightower working for his house to take over power in the seven kingdoms, it's just too late as Alicent has already had a male heir, which is exactly what Otto wanted

[@Weeby_historian]

@@iris-xo ok fair. I’m fairly certain the original comment was exaggerating for comedic effect tho

[@seto_kaiba_]

She was right about Otto though--even if he did catch her. Otto's motives were power hungry through and through.

[@bij_mac3518]

been watching your reactions since ATLA - you guys are so funny and a joy to watch! also, sick new intro :)

“im going to pretend that you’re a dragon”😂😂😂😭 had me dead😭😭😭💀

[@issaphae9659]

my theory with daemon (no spoilers) is that this was all his plan. he returned to king’s landing a hero with the king indebted to him and a bond with rhaenyra. he had decent leverage. then he plays hard to get in the garden with rhaenyra to get her to really want to pursue him. when he takes her to that play i don’t think it was as much to teach her anything as it was a way to diminish her confidence in her own future rule, which would push her to lean on someone else (him). finally, with their recognizable hair intentionally exposed, he seduces her to seal their relationship but he can’t go through with it. i think that’s the biggest giveaway that there were ulterior motives, that he felt guilt when she looked up at him with genuine love in her eyes. the second biggest giveaway was that with viserys he still acted as if they had sex when they didn’t, which makes the case stronger for them to be wed. i think while he genuinely cares for her, he currently sees her as a b-line to the iron throne.

[@BobbaCroft1234]

i jjust dont understand why the kid gave the money to his wife or if she was involved ( and daimon knew)

[@1BUtifulDisasta]

Lil Ali is jealous. Rhae Rhae has the freedom. People basically throwing themselves at her. She has choices…. Lil Ali is there to pop out kids.

[@ayannabranchcomb7535]

@@BobbaCroft1234 that’s not his wife, that was the sex worker he ran off with in the first episode, he lied and said she was pregnant and he was gonna marry her in the second episode, and then he was off fighting in the third. So I’m gonna assume that in between the second and third episodes she left him or he fired her and she ended up back in kings landing. And then she was able to use her connections as a high profile whore to open her own inn and employ children to spy for her, and in turn be employed by otto. Similar to littlefinger and varys

That Blackwood kid was gangster AF.

[@melcassy64]

Daemon set it up for them to be seen, hence why he removed their disguise once they reached the pleasure house. He knew Otto has spies there. Remember the “Heir of the Day” drama. The hope was to get Viserys to agree to marry them. Rhaenyra is heir to the throne and whoever becomes her hubby is The King Consort. Defiled is intercourse. Daemon had every intention of sleeping with her there but he couldn’t get it up. Luckily for him they thought he did anyway. It backfired on him because Viserys doesn’t want him anywhere near the throne and he’s already married, something he keeps hoping others would forget.

Rhaenerya playing a round of "give me head get your helmet"

[@TheManOnTheStreetOMG]

Allicent is a combination of jealous of Rhaenyra's freedom and concerned about her losing her inheritance, like she genuinely wants well for her friend and her to have the throne. Daemon gave Otto bait that he couldn't ignore, he took off Rhaenyra's hat and paid off the kid to tell Otto. Exposing him to Viserys. He clearly didn't like what he was doing because he drank himself silly afterwards but it was a chaotic play by him lol. Banished in 24 hours bruh The Blackwood kid stabbing the Bracken is a nod to the Blackfyre rebellion, both houses have Targaryen bastards further down the timeline who's rivalry leads to another civil war when they get legitimised.

[@theawesomeman9821]

Rhaenerya had no right mocking her friend as a baby-maker, Alicent defended her from rumors.

[@rodgill9376]

@@theawesomeman9821 not saying what Rhaenerya said to Alicent was right because it wasn't but in her defense, what did Alicent expect? That would be like if one of my parents married my friend and got children with them, I'd be pissed too. Of course, they didn't really had a choice in the matter, which didn't help. If anything, I blame Otto more for that instead of Alicent. Rhaenerya should had directed more of her anger and resentment on Otto since that was his little scheme anyway.

[@BradleyDS90]

[@kikikim4589]

never imagined myself I'll end up rooting for incest , I mean I understand rhaenyra deamon is fine AF, find it funny how the truth got Otto out

[@lyconxero457]

I love how this episode started out with a "fuck around and find out" moment and then later in the episode people fucked around and got found out. The symmetry was beautiful!

[@skylarr4866]

been waiting for this one 😭

[@clarkclark5417]

There was tonnes of foreshadowing I think, considering their attentiveness with the necklace; the first episode and the beginning of this one.

[@henrysingletary]

I think Alicent was upset at Rhaenyra because as a queen she can't allow the princess to do things like that. Basically the same thing her father was saying. If Alicent does have a romantic interest for Rhaenyra, I would be surprised.

[@_Lapis_Lazuli]

Daemon's plan was to "mess" with her. But seeing that she actually WANTED to kiss himm he was like oh shit. Im supposed to be corrupting you 🙉

[@SmoothC92]

Lupa's commentary still has me rolling no matter how many times I watch this episode.

Rhaenyra definitely also had a thing for Alicent. It was obvious in the first episode.

"rhaenyra's is caraxes right" Sheera: Yes. The most confident yes ive ever heard lmfao, and no one in the comments is gonna correct them smh

[@TheFantasticSep]

I see a lot of people cheering for Rhaenyra during the scene with Criston, but I think it is a really shitty move of her… She is abusing her power over him to have sex with him while he obviously doesn’t want to do it. He is in such a dangerous position! First of all he swore an vowel and second his head could end on a spike if anyone finds out… I really like Rhaenyra but that was just not okay

[@Cherriheart]

Exactly, their relationship has a huge power imbalance.

[@vivannet231]

She’ll definitely have consequences for this idk why the general audience is cheering for her

[@iris-xo]

@@vivannet231 no one thinks there’s not the possibility of consequences but that was a moment of her liberating herself sexually something a lot of women in that time period did not get to do. They both were interested and literally no one knows about it besides them.

[@anonha6994]

Please people cheer incest in the show 😂 it's just game of thrones

[@warhammer101]

Plus he folded so fast. It just shows just how easy it was for him to break the vows that he made when he became a kings guard.

[@adicusdeathreaper]

I love that this one episode basically gave a middle finger to the last season of game of thrones, proving that Jon was the prince that was promised and the dagger belongs to him but the "writers" butchered years of concrete lore.

[@thedragondemands5186]

Criston Cole fell to almost certain temptation

[@Dec4AllTimeAlways]

I think if Daemon knew Otto's little birds were watching, it was a huge gamble for him knowing his brother banished him again after how many days? Daemon found a way to get in trouble after 4 years being gone and it only took a day, perhaps? 🤣 But he did get Otto fired by letting the crowd see who they were. A commenter said Daemon tried to frame Rhaenyra so he can marry her knowing since she's already deflowered, no man would take her. Perhaps. Another is he got limp again (show runners said this) but also because he was feeling guilty. He cares about Rhaenyra and doesn't want to use her as a pawn. The other being Daemon wanted to get back at Viserys. Perhaps it's all of the above? Why can't it be all of them? Whatever you think it is, he got Otto fired. Whether that was intentional or not, Otto still got fired. No way Viserys is going to choose Otto over Rhaenyra even if he believes in what Otto said more. Perception matters. Not truth. If Rhaenyra goes down, her father goes down. So Otto became the fall guy whether Daemon broke Rhaenyra's virginity or not and whether Otto was just doing his job. Again, what Daemon proved was third-party accounts aren't reliable especially if they're biased and working for certain people. For all we know, Daemon saying "heir for a day" was taken out of context. We actually never heard him say that in the show. I don't really buy the idea that Daemon tried seducing Rhaenyra to get back at Viserys. The sweetest moment we've seen was Viserys and Daemon share a hug. If Daemon was doing this out of spite towards his brother, then why make a big deal he returned? Why not sneak back to KL and do this? He came back wanting this to be a celebration. This ruins their brotherly love moment. I know the show runners are saying this but I believe Daemon wanted to get back at Otto. If it was Viserys he was trying to get back at, then maybe the reason he went limp was because he got back with his brother on good terms? He enjoyed that hug. He realized he cares too much for Viserys and Rhaenyra and didn't really want to spite Viserys once he felt that guilt.

[@Kidapollo92]

Metaphor the kings hand is rotting and the infections are killing his body just like his and (Otto) is killing his legacy his path way back to mending his rhaenyras relationship as well as his reign. Both his body and Lineage are being corrupted by his hand and hand as well as other unneeded cuts such as on his back and cuts towards his him with Daemons as well as rhaenyras actions.
