House of the Dragon Season 2 Ep 3 Highlights
Aemond & The Brothel
There is a very achingly beautiful version of Aemond that comes out in the place where men unleash the monsters in them. Aemond becomes a baby who needs a lullaby in the arms of the Madame he pours his heart out in front of. Episode 3 has him in the same place but with Aegon finding and taunting him. The scene is one of the most pivotal ones for Aemond's character development as he does the most King-like thing even when he isn't one, stands naked in front of everyone in the room without fear, and says the meanest of lines towards a woman he finds comfort in. Sacrifice your solace in return for your pride.
Baela Is A Warrior In The Making.
All this time, Baela was in the background and we only knew her as Daemon’s daughter. But in episode 3 of House Of The Dragon Season 2, she blooms into one of the most fierce future characters of the show. We see her finally riding her dragon, Moondancer, on a mission given to her by Rhaenrya. On her way to that mission, she spots the soldiers from King's Landing, including the commander and the newly appointed Hand, Ser Criston Cole, as they run from her. She follows them bravely and closely without fear, with a mischievous grin on her face. In that moment, you see a woman who is more than just obeying orders, but a complete warrior in herself.
Daemon Sees Young Rhaenyra.
Daemon, after his fight with his wife Rhaenrya, has taken refuge in Harrenhall, a place doomed to be in ruins forever it seems. As he decides to stay, he is in a room that is not only leaking but also has no latches or locks on the door, only a sword to stop anyone from coming in. Someone forcefully tries to open it and disappears. At that very moment, he draws his sword and walks out to investigate. In one room, he sees a young Rhaenyra, played by Milly Alcock, who is sewing the severed head of Jaehaerys back to his body. He soon realizes it is just a vision, but the emotion of regret and fear is overwhelming.
"You Will Die In This Place!"
The first real-time prophecy of House Of The Dragon arrives in season 2, episode 3. After the vision, Daemon goes out in Harrenhall and stands near what seems like the sacred tree (remember the ones from Winterfell?). We see Alys River walking from behind and telling him, “You will die in this place.” She walks away and nothing more about their prophecy is revealed. It will be fun to see how the fans decode it.
Rhaenyra Meets Alicent. Yes!
Alicent Hightower is the only hope to bring peace and stop the war, Rhaenys tells Rhaenrya, and she does think the same. Rhaenrya now wants to meet Alicent, but how does she go to King's Landing as herself? Well, there are ways, and this one requires her to dress like a Septa and go to meet Alicent in disguise. The two strongest women in Westeros meet, and their conversation is nothing less than fiery. House Of The Dragon Season 2 only flies higher from this end.
