The second season of ‘The House of the Dragon’ lands on Max with the strength that characterizes the series. The first chapter serves as a reference point for the reactions to the conclusion of the previous season. In some way it prepares the path of blood and fire that is to come in the next chapters (and a confirmed third season). Details make the difference in the ‘Game of Thrones’ universe, and the opening episode would be no less.
The details of the first episode of the second season of ‘The House of the Dragon’ that shape the development of the series
Minute 15. Helaena Targaryen confesses her fear to her brother, the regent King Aegon II Targaryen. The young man thinks that he is referring to the situation that the kingdom is going through in the clash of the blacks against the greens. However, Helaena says she is afraid of “rats”. His words don’t have much weight at that moment, but everything would make sense at the end of the episode.
Daemon Targaryen infiltrates King’s Landing with a single purpose: promoting the assassination of Aemond Targaryen with the help of those who spit on the Hightower flag. The plan begins with two underworld undesirables, an unscrupulous guard and a professional rat exterminator. Together they infiltrate from the sewers of the palace to the main throne room itself.
Anyone would say that it is impossible to enter the best protected fortress in Westeros without permission. However, a dog and some rat traps are all the couple needs to get past the King’s personal guard.. When they find access to the royal quarters, the real hunt begins. The rat traps are now put aside: now they go knife in hand in search of a white mane.
They fail to find Aemond, but they do find little Jaehaerys Targaryen, who dies out of shot at the hands of the guard. Helaena is held by the same master rat exterminator that she imagined at the beginning of the chapter.. In fact, the details go into more. At minute 31:38 the thief is seen in the distance next to the dog that he would later use to give credibility to his alibi. It is not the first time that the princess brings out her gift for guessing future encounters. Unknowingly she has witnessed the beginning of the Dance of Dragons. Son for son; Now it is Alicent who mourns the loss of a son.
