House of the Dragon Episode 9 spoilers are what fans are so curious about and thus, here we have broken down every detail for you guys. Back at the end of the 8th episode, we saw that King Viserys is taking his last breath. With the new episode, we shall witness new dawn in Westeros with a female heir taking his place on the Iron Throne.
Now, during his last breaths, King Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra but it was actually Allicent. He was confirming his faith in the Targaryen prophecy and about the song of ice and fire. He wanted to say that Rhaenyra is her Aegon and he has all the faith in the world that she would be an excellent queen. Although, Allicent, who was present right beside, picked up the words such as “Aegon”, “legacy” and “prophecy” and thought that Viserys wants her son to sit on the Iron Throne.
A trailer for episode 9 also confirms these doubts as Allicent can be heard conversing with Ser Otto about how Viserys wanted Aegon to be king after him. Now, Ser Otto is obviously going to misuse his power as the Hand at such a tedious time when Rhaenyra is already on the way to Dragonstone to get her kids to safety.
House of the Dragon Episode 9 Spoilers
Well, episode 9 would be full of chaos. Fans are already expecting that because episode 8 was so sweet and mellow. It can be called the “calm before the storm”. In the books as well, it was written that the succession of Rhaenyra was challenged by the kingdoms and this is what we are going to see in the penultimate episode of the season. Also, there is one more fact that you guys should know about. Game of Thrones always provided some of the greatest battles or some of the most epic scenes from the books in the 9th episode. Thus, we can expect the creators to continue that legacy and show us something big in this upcoming entry.
Various clips from the trailer provided to us show how Ser Otto will be taking part in downright treason. Some people and maids are being taken down to prison and the reason is not known right now. Otto has also hired someone to do an illegal job and thus, advises them to not reveal their identity to anyone. The most special clip among it all would be the one that of Ser Larys and Queen Allicent.
She is obviously worried about Rhaenyra taking the throne on which she wishes her son to sit upon. The two seem to be conversing and Ser Larys reveals something to her. The trailer does not exactly show us what there is another clip that it shifts over to. We see a Targaryen child in prison who has silver blonde hair just like the family does. Now, this could lead up to some new plot twists in the next episode. We are curious to know whose kid is this or if he is even a Targaryen.
House of the Dragon Episode 8 Recap
Episode 8 of House of the Dragon ended with a heartfelt goodbye to King Viserys. He has finally given in to his health and disease as his whole body is rotting away. And even though he wanted to see his family happy just like at the supper, he unknowingly started a war between them by just confusing the identity of her wife and daughter. The entire episode was slow and focused on Viserys in general.
Before he could die, he finally saw his family at peace and this is how he will always remember him. Even Rhaenyra and Allicent have a moment together where they are not hostile toward each other. It is obvious that under all these years of rivalry, the two were actually best friends and loved each other. This was shown in the episode so perfectly as Allicent wishes Rhaenyra that she will be a great queen.
