House of the Dragon | Driftmark

King Viserys and his court attend Lady Laena's funeral in Driftmark. Rhaenyra and Daemon reunite and are physically intimate. Prince Aemond claims Vhagar as his dragon, leading to an altercation with his cousins and nephews in which Lucerys slashes Aemond's eye with a knife. Viserys denies Queen Alicent's demand that Lucerys' eye be gouged out as retribution. When Alicent attempts to attack Lucerys, Rhaenyra blocks her; Alicent stabs Rhaenyra's arm in a struggle with Viserys' Valyrian steel dagger. After claims that Rhaenyra's children are bastards, Viserys decrees that anyone questioning their legitimacy will be silenced. Reinstated as Hand of the King, Otto Hightower tells Alicent they will soon prevail. Rhaenyra and Daemon unite against Alicent and her supporters. Ser Qarl Correy appears to murder Laenor, with Princess Rhaenys and Lord Corlys believing that the found charred body is their son's. Meanwhile, Daemon and Rhaenyra are privately married in the Old Valyrian tradition to continue the pure Targaryen bloodline. Following his faked death, Laenor, with his head shaved, secretly flees Driftmark with Ser Qarl.
