Passions ran wild as Lady Laena’s body was commended to Blackwater Bay. Alicent’s son Prince Aemond commandeered the monstrous Vhagar before going on a joy ride around Driftmark, and rumours about the legitimacy of Rhaenyra’s heirs led to a brutal smackdown in which young Prince Lucerys lacerated Aemond’s eyeball.
Finally, years of resentment boiled over when Lady Alicent (Olivia Cooke) demanded retributive justice, lunging towards the prince with a dagger but wounding Rhaenyra instead. King Viserys (Paddy Considine) insisted that any further slander would end in severed tongues, yet the episode concluded with battle lines and allegiances clearly defined.
‘The Lord of the Tides’ will depict the rapidly declining relations between these warring factions – and there’s another time jump coming! Worryingly, Viserys is nowhere to be seen, and that snake Ser Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans) declares that he now “speaks with the King’s voice”. Expect a major shift in his absence: one that temporarily gives the Hightowers a dangerous advantage.
