House of the Dragon Episode 8 release date is what the die-hard fans are looking forward to, and thus, we decided to cover more about the same. But first, let us take a look at the recap of the most recent episode of the week. It is set in Driftmark, where the King has also arrived with his court in order to pay the realm’s tribute to Lady Laena Velaryon after her unfortunate death.
Allicent suffers the biggest blow when the King refers to her as Aemma and does not even want the guards to help her to her chambers. Later, we see that Rhaenyra and Daemon sleep together after talking about how they need each other, and the Princess reveals about taking on to the realm as an heir and the Queen. By the end of the night, Aemond, whom we could have never thought would do this, does it?
The little kid claims Vhagar for his own and rides the dragon in the night. This awakens Rhaena and her sister, along with the Princess’ sons. As Aemond comes back, they gang up on him and beat Aemond for stealing their family dragon. In the end, Aemond ends up losing an eye. Now that every adult and child is in the hall, we see that Allicent demands to have an eye from Lucerys as well.
Although, the King does not listen to her folly. Moreover, he announces that whoever shall question the legitimacy of Princess Rhaenyra’s children will have their tongue taken out. This angers Allicent even more because she is already frustrated with the fact that Rhaenyra is able to get away with literally everything in her life while she has tried to be perfect all along.
House of the Dragon Episode 7 Recap
As the King is walking away, Allicent steals a Valyrian steel knife from his waist and tries to go over to take Lucerys’ eye. Although, Rhaenyra stops the Queen midway where they have a small conversation about how exhausting must it be for Allicent as she tries to be so righteous about everything. Soon, Allicent stabs Rhaenyra’s arm, and the King sees her true self.
Soon, Aemond tries to stop his mother by saying that even though he lost an eye, he gained a dragon which is much more valuable. In private, Otto talks with his daughter and seems to be proud of seeing this side of her. He says that soon, they shall make a change in their lives by prevailing against the Targaryens.
During the climax of this episode, we see Rhaenyra and Daemon seeing off the Royal ships and go back to King’s Landing as they plan a murder for Ser Laenor so that they can marry. The act is orchestrated by Prince Daemon, who asks Laenor’s lover Qarl to kill him in his own hall at Driftmark. As they take the body out of the fire, Princess Rhaenys is heartbroken about the same and screams upon losing her second child in a span of a week.
In order to continue their Targaryen bloodline, Rhaenyra and Daemon marry in the regal, Valyrian tradition. In the end, we see that Ser Laenor is actually not killed it was some random person. He has shaved his head and is feeling Driftmark live with Ser Qarl across the Narrow Sea. Coming back to the future of the series, here is what it has in store for us.
