House of the Dragon episode 8

The second moment is when she gives a speech in honor of Baela and Rhaena’s respective engagments to Jace and Luke. And I personally was so happy when Jace did the gallant thing and asked her to dance. She says in front of the whole family, “I would like to toast Baela and Rhaena. (I’m still trying to parse what she might have meant when she muttered, “Beware the beast beneath the boards,” in this episode!) [House of the Dragon](https://decider.com/show/house-of-the-dragon/) Episode 8 “The Lord of the Tides” marks a huge turning point in the [Game of Thrones](https://decider.com/show/game-of-thrones/) saga. One of the more heartwarming parts of last night’s episode was seeing how nicely Rhaenyra and Daemon have managed to blend their two families. Last night we met two new knights of the Kingsguard with an awful lot in common: Ser Arryk Cargyll (Elliot Tittensor) and Ser Erryk Cargyll (Luke Tittensor). Older Jace and Luke see this fight and are, at first, impressed with the mystery fighter in green. Not to spoil too much, but they will have a legendary role to play in the civil war to come. Aemond One-Eye is such a great warrior now, he is able to best Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel) in a melée. Unlike Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon takes place in a time where dragons are commonplace and Valyrian knowledge of the magical beasts endures. Steam issues forth and he’s able to pull an ooze-covered egg out of the sac.

House of the Dragon thrilled fans with the first seven episodes and they are eagerly waiting for the next episode with a lot of buzz around it.

We share the summary and explanation of episode 8 of the House of the Dragon series, 'The Lord of the Tides', and give a taster for episode 9.

As Alicent put Viserys to bed, Viserys answered the question Rhaenyra had asked earlier: if he truly believed in Aegon the Conqueror’s dream. During dinner, the king gave an emotional and moving speech about how much he loved them all and how much he wanted everyone to get along, which they did at that moment. An enraged Vaemond told the king and everyone in the hall that he would never allow it. Let’s have a reflection on what we saw, with a summary and explanation of the most recent instalment, entitled The Lord of the Tides, as well as what is expected for next week. It was Corlys’ wish that his grandson, Prince Lucerys Velaryon (Elliot Grihault) be the heir to House Velaryon. They knew it would be a difficult battle, as King Viserys I (Paddy Considine) was essentially allowing Queen Alicent (Olivia Cooke) to rule.

Martin, that Mysaria plays a role in the subterfuge between the Blacks and the Greens. In the earlier scene, we see her deliver moon tea to Alicent when she is questioning the serving girl who was sexually assaulted by Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney). When Alicent asks what has happened, she tearfully says, "I was fetching the prince his wine, and I put it on his table, and when I turned... The woman in the hood is Alicent's (Olivia Cooke) servant, Talya (Alexis Raben), who we saw earlier in the episode. She told him then that she had left the life of sex work and is revealed to now trade in secrets instead. We last saw Mysaria in Episode 4, when she found Daemon in one of the brothels sleeping on the ground after he nearly seduced Rhaenyra (Milly Alcock).

Before King Viserys can finish ordering that Vaemond's tongue be cut out, Prince Daemon slices off Vaemond's entire head with his legendary sword Dark Sister.

Will Alicent convince herself and the realm that Viserys made her son Aegon heir on his deathbed? Daemon flies to Driftmark to kill Vaemond for accusing his wife of treason, and then feeds the carcass to Rhaenyra’s dragon Syrax. In the show, he passes away after speaking his last words to Alicent, who he believes to be Rhaenyra. He strikes an alliance with the Hightowers and goes so far as to open accuse Rhaenyra, in her presence and for all the court to hear, of siring bastards and calling her what the unimaginative are wont of calling a liberated woman. The show makes it a point to say that Corlys has gone back to fighting in the Stepstones, and one must wonder if the grief of losing both his children has driven him away from Westeros to somewhere he can act on his more primordial, warlike instincts. However, when Viserys gives her the chance to decide, she supports Lucerys’ claim to Driftmark, and therefore Rhaenyra.

Those who thought this was going to be Game of Thrones, but just with a new cast of characters have likely been a bit annoyed at how little action takes place.

There are characters that are going to be worth watching because they're evil and the best thing about the show, and what the series has set up, is that it's not clear who is going to come out on top. [this episode of The House of the Dragon](https://gamerant.com/house-of-the-dragon-episode-6-review/) is one that does things no other episode has done, while doubling down on some of the things that have worked all season. Paddy Considine does a rather incredible job of portraying a man that is quite older than the actor really is in the real world. He also does a phenomenal job of playing someone who knows that his days are growing short and who just wants to take in his family. Right at the top of the list is that Viserys, who at this point in the timeline is both quite old and quite infirmed continues to be an oddity in these stories. That has been one of the most interesting things about this season of House of the Dragon, because the people around him are not particularly good people. To some degree, that means that everything will be settled both in his kingdom and his family. And, as an old man who is coming towards the end, he wants to make sure that everything is settled before he goes. It's also a testament to the writers that while things might be a bit confused at the beginning, there is enough done on screen to mostly fill in the blanks, even if there are a few parts that still leave some questions unanswered. [House of the ](https://gamerant.com/house-of-the-dragon-episode-7-review/) [Dragon](https://gamerant.com/house-of-the-dragon-episode-7-review/) audience had to struggle to keep up with names of various characters and move those characters around on the chess board in their minds. For most of House of the Dragon, it wouldn't be totally unfair of a vast majority of the audience to end just about every episode by screaming "come on, get on with it!" It doesn't seem like it would have been too hard to actually show some of these scenes so that people could know who exactly was where and why.

In a nutshell, it means that the temporary peace between Alicent and Rhaenyra is broken. As the king lay dying, he and his wife were essentially having two different conversations. Clearly, at this point, he thinks he's talking to Rhaenyra again, and even though Alicent doesn't understand his talk of the Song of Ice and Fire, she latches on to the name Aegon when Visersy' murmurs it. The first couple of times we see Viserys in episode 8 he's lying in bed, struggling to tell the difference between his daughter Rhaenyra and his wife Alicent. The king is talking about Aegon the Conqueror, who first dreamed of the prophecy, but Alicent thinks he means their firstborn son. The problem?

"A final tribute to the health of my nephews," he says. "The prince to unite the realm against the cold and the dark. "You wanted to know if I believe it to be true," he says. "I will sit the throne today." Set by the queen and the Hand, I'd wager, to proclaim my son illegitimate," Rhaenyra says. Set aside your grievances, if not for the sake of the crown then for the sake of this old man, who loves you all so dearly." "When it does, will you want a child at the command of the greatest fleet in Westeros?" Rhaenyra meets Rhaenys in the Godswood to do some petitioning of her own. Vaemond heads straight to the queen, and gets an audience with both the queen and her father the Hand. Most of his hair is gone, his skin discolored, and a bandage is wrapped around the left side of his head when Rhaenyra and Daemon (who sailed from Dragonstone) go to see him. "Ah, the maesters. A full recap of House of the Dragon episode 8 is below.

Including the miscommunication between Alicent, Viserys, and Rhaeynyra and the prophecy of the Prince that was Promised.

It's an unfortunate miscommunication that followed Rhaenyra and Alicent's brief reconciliation with each other, as well as Alicent's acknowledgement of Rhaenyra's entitlement to the crown. Aegon foresaw the end of the world of men. She asks her father if he believes in the Song of Ice and Fire, a prophecy that originated from a divine dream from Aegon the Conqueror and which Viserys had confided in Rhaenyra in Episode 1. Aegon called his dream the Song of Ice and Fire. The Prince that was Promised." The next day, Alicent and Otto prepare to hear appeals from Rhaenys, Rhaenyra, and Vaemond on who is to become the next Lord of the Tides. Every Targaryen ruler since Aegon has been notified of the prophecy by the previous ruler. Delirious, Viserys mistakes Alicent for Rhaenyra from the previous night, telling her that he does believe in the Prince that was Promised from Aegon's dream. Significantly, the prophecy claims that this prince must descend from the Targaryen line. [House of the Dragon](https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/film-tv/a40910816/funniest-twitter-reactions-house-of-the-dragon-game-of-thrones/), which aired last night, has sealed the fate of King Viserys Targaryen and opened hell's floodgates for his surviving family members. After Vaemond, the younger brother of Corlys, bids for himself, Viserys emerges in the hall, taking back his royal duties from Otto and Alicent for the day. Six years after the funeral of Laena Velaryon, the line of succession for Driftmark has been challenged after Lord Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint) suffers a potentially fatal injury during a battle in the Stepstones.

In the eighth episode, the heir to the throne looks strong, and Viserys shares a premonition that may shake Westeros. Contains spoilers.

After eliminating the rest of his family as a “favour” to Alicent two episodes previously, he appeared set for a long and glorious reign as House of the Dragon’s resident villain. In Thrones, Joffrey was a “bad seed” born of the forbidden love of his sibling parents (his grandfather Tywin Lannister was no charmer either). Nobody has played the game of thrones more skilfully than the one-time heir to the crown. Instead of the dragon motif, the capital is now draped in the iconography of the Seven, a Westeros religion alien to the pale lords from across the sea. And in his delirium he let the royal cat out of the bag, revealing to Alicent the Seven Kingdom’s equivalent of the Third Secret of Fatima. “We have more in common than we sometimes allow.” Their kids are a horrific rabble of bruisers, taunters and sex offenders (see below) – but might Alicent and Rhaenyra have rekindled the connection they held so dear as children?
